Summary

A variety of tools are available to configure an AP. The Web browser is usually the easiest way to configure an AP. There are two versions of AP images, the newer IOS and VxWorks. There are many similarities between the two GUIs. APs running the IOS image have a powerful IOS CLI configuration capability unlike the older VxWorks menu. The AP1100 and AP1200 currently support IOS image. Future APs will also support Cisco IOS.

As the activities and labs have demonstrated, it is important to keep configuration simple, until connectivity is achieved. There are many configuration settings for the AP interfaces as well as many services available with the AP. Each feature makes enterprise use a reality, but can add to the overall complexity and make troubleshooting more time consuming.
