IP address of the HWC ESA port that will host the Wireless AP connections.

“Controller” to the existing domain string to create the host record and in turn the “Forward
Lookup” for the Wireless APs to discover the Summit WM Controller.
Static Wireless AP Addressing
The entry of static values is reliant on the fact that the Wireless AP has already discovered it’s DA(s)
and is therefore registered or pending registration with the Summit WM Controller. Once this has taken
place Static IP values can be configured for each Wireless AP in the Static Configuration tab of the
Wireless APs option of the Summit WM GUI. If there are no DHCP SLP option enabled services then
the IP(s) of the Summit WM Controller(s) should be included in the Wireless Controller Search List
section of the “Static Configuration” tab of the “Wireless APs” option of the Summit WM GUI whether
you are opting for Static or DHCP Wireless AP address assignment.
