Controller Discovery
For an Access Point to function as an AAP (regardless of mode), it needs to connect to a controller to
receive its configuration. There are two methods of controller discovery:
● Auto Discovery Using DHCP on page 607
● Manual Adoption Configuration on page 608v
Auto Discovery Using DHCP
Extended Global Options 189, 190, 191, 192 can be used or Embedded Option 43 - Vendor Specific
options can be embedded in Option 43 using the vendor class identifier: ExtremeAP.4700.
** The Access Point uses an encryption key to hash passphrases and security keys. To obtain the
passphrase, configure an Access Point with the passphrase and export the configuration file.
