• Access points in the factory default state that are in the same Layer 2
network and are assigned the same IP address can be discovered.
In the factory default state, AP dynamic IP configuration is disabled
by default. Aer discovering an access point, you can either enable
it from the wireless controller or leave it in its default state. If you
enable dynamic IP configuration on the access points, firmware
upgrades on access points occur in parallel. Otherwise, firmware
upgrades on access points happens sequentially, which takes longer.
• Specifying an internal DHCP server on the wireless controller
automatically enables DHCP option 43 (vendor-specific information)
with the IP address of the wireless controller.
When an external DHCP server is used, Option 43 is not required if
the access points are in the same Layer 2 network as the wireless
controller. If the access points are not in the same L2 network, then
Option 43 with the wireless controller IP must be configured on the
external server.
¾ To discover access points and add them to the Managed
AP List:
1. Access the wireless controller at the network IP address that you
configured (see Configure the Wireless Controller on page 5).
2. Select Access Point > Discovery > Discovery Wizard.
