Using the Local Database for AP Validation

To use the local Valid AP database, set the AP MAC Validation to local, add APs to the database, and configure the settings
for the APs in the database. All of the configuration takes place on the switch.
To set up the local database for AP MAC Validation, use the following steps:
1 From the Administration > Basic Setup > Global page, make sure AP MAC Validation is set to Local, which is the
default.
2 Click Submit if you made any changes.
3 Click the Valid AP tab.
4 In the MAC Address field, enter the MAC address of the AP to validate, and enter the physical location of the AP in the
second field, then click Add.
If the switch has already discovered the AP, the MAC address of the AP appears on the Monitoring > Access
Points > Managed Access Points page or on the Monitoring > Access Point > Authentication Failed Access
Points page. To view the MAC address of discovered APs from the CLI, enter show wireless ap status
or show wireless ap failure status in Privileged EXEC mode.
After you add the AP, additional fields appear so you can provide configuration information about the AP, including a
passphrase for AP authentication.
5 If you selected the AP Authentication check box on the Wireless Global Configuration page, select the Apply check
box and enter an authentication password for the AP.
The password must match the pass phrase that you configured on the AP. The length of the password can be 8-63
