BlueSecure™ Access Point 1800 Installation Guide

Option 43 is configured as a comma-separated list, for example

"192.168.100.23,192.168.100.98,F192.168.100.25 "

Here the “F” denotes failover BSC. If all the primary BSCs fails (those without F

in front of their IP), the AP associates to the failover BSC.

Refer to the documentation supplied with your DHCP server when configuring vendor-

specific option 43

• DNS Server Configuration

BSAPs are factory configured with apdiscovery as the DNS hostname. You can configure

a DNS server on your network with an entry for apdiscovery with the home BSC

Controller IP address as the resolution.

To configure this, add a NAME record to the DNS server for apdiscovery (at the domain

server that the BAP will receive). Point this name to one or more BSC IP addresses

(managed, protected or VLAN depending on the network configuration).

So for example, if there are two BSCs (192.168.100.23 and 192.168.100.28), and the

domain is customer.com, add two NAME records to customer.com, for the name

apdiscovery.customer.com. One should resolve to 192.168.100.23 and one to

192.168.100.28. PTR (i.e., pointer) records are not needed for this portion of discovery.
