Installation Guide

When you are installing a Layer 3 AP on a different subnet than the controller, ensure the following:

• Ensure that a DHCP server is reachable from the subnet on which you want to install the AP.

• The subnet has a route back to the controller and ensure that the route back to the controller

has the destination UDP ports 5246 and 5247 open for CAPWAP communications.

• Ensure that the route back to the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers allows IP packet

fragments.

• Ensure that the AP and the controller have a static 1-to-1 NAT to an outside address if address

translation is used. (Port Address Translation is not supported.).

Note
