If the discovery results are not what you expect, check the following:
• Access points managed already by the wireless controller are not in the discovery list.
To view the Managed AP List, select Access Point > Managed AP List
.
• Make sure that a DHCP server is available in the network or on the wireless
controller.
For information about the wireless controller’s DHCP server, see Manage the DHCP
Server on page 51.
• If more than one access point has the same IP address, only one of them is
discovered at a time.
You have to add the access point to the managed list, change its IP address, and run
discovery again to discover the next access point with that IP address.
