To add a switch to your network:

1. Per-conﬁgure your external DHCP and DNS servers on your network for discovery of the new switch.

In order for the to communicate to the Extreme Campus Controller:

• The DHCP Server (that will be serving an IP to the switch) needs to return a DNS Server and

Domain Name to the switch.

• The DNS Server needs to map the name extremecontrol.<domain-name> to the IP

address of the Extreme Campus Controller that you plan to add the switch.

• Conﬁrm that the DHCP server is serving the correct DNS and domain name information.

Note

For full instructions on conﬁguring DHCP, NPS, and DNS services, refer to the Extreme

Campus Controller Deployment Guide
