Before you connect the access points to the PoE switch, verify that the switch ports to which you intend to connect the access points are configured as access ports in management VLAN 100. 7. Deploy the access points and connect them to the designated PoE switch ports. 8. Wait until the access points are up and running, run the Discovery Access Point > Discovery Wizard Wizard, specify the network layout by selecting the Same L2 network radio button, and select the access points that you want to be managed by the wireless controller. Note: By adding the access points to managed list, you enable them to receive an IP address from the DHCP server over management VLAN 100. Chapter 2: System Planning and Deployment Scenarios | 32
