4. Access Point Discovery and Management 4 This chapter includes the following sections: • Access Point Discovery on this page • Requirements for Auto Discovery on this page • Using the Discovery Wizard on page 47 • Understanding the Discovery Results on page 49 • Managing the Access Point List on page 50 Access Point Discovery You must run the Discovery Wizard for the wireless controller to discover supported NETGEAR access points on the LAN. The wireless controller can discover access points that are still in their factory default state and access points that are deployed and running. After the access points are discovered, you can add them to the Managed AP List. The wireless controller can configure, manage, and monitor the managed access points. Requirements for Auto Discovery If the access points still have their factory default settings, the auto discovery process should work fine. If you changed the access point configuration, make sure that the access point configuration meets the following guidelines: • All standalone access points have SNMP and SSH enabled. • UDP port number 7890 must be unblocked in the firewall. • Each access point must have an IP address. All access points that are the same model ship with the same default IP address. With the exception of access points in factory default state that are in the same layer network, if more than one access point has the same IP address, then 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 then run discovery again to discover the next access point with that IP address.
