D-Link Unified Access System User Manual address, either statically or through DHCP, the Unified Switch automatically discovers the AP through its broadcast of a L2 discovery message. Figure 32. L2 Discovery Example L2 Discovery Message Access Point Unified Switch In this example, the administrator does not need to configure any discovery information on the AP or the Unified Switch. The L2 discovery works automatically when the devices are directly connected or connected by using a layer 2 bridge. For more information about this discovery method, see "D-Link Wireless Device Discovery Protocol" on page 68. Example 2: IP Address of AP Configured in the Switch Figure 33 shows two access points. One AP is directly connected to the D-Link Unified Switch, and the other AP is connected via a L3 switch. Figure 33. L3 Discovery Example 1 UDP Discovery Message Access Point 1 IP: 192.168.1.12 UDP DMiescsosavegrey Unified Switch L3 Discovery List 192.168.1.12 192.168.3.42 Access Point 2 IP: 192.168.3.42 The administrator disables the L2 discovery method on the switch and adds the IP addresses of the APs to the L3 Discovery list on the switch. The Unified Switch sends UDP discovery messages to the IP addresses in its list. When the AP receives the messages and decides that it can connect to the switch, it initiates an SSL TCP connection to the switch. For information about how to configure this discovery method, see "Configuring IP Addresses of Peers and APs in the Switch" on page 69. 62 © 2001- 2008 D-Link Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
