VIEW Certified Configuration Guide The setup instructions outlined in this document are for the configuration shown in the diagram only. Your configuration may differ, and the appropriate adjustments must be made. 1. From the main menu, click Controller. 2. Set the Ethernet Multicast Mode to Multicast and enter a multicast IP address that is currently not being used on your network for the Multicast Group Address. 3. Click the Apply button. 4. Click Save Configuration. Connecting APs As the APs are connected to the network, they should automatically find the controller via the CAPWAP discovery algorithms. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server will assign each AP an IP address. You can configure a DHCP server to run on a remote PC for a small deployment. However, for large-scale deployments, an enterprisegrade DHCP server must be used. The ap-manager and management interfaces' configuration should include the DHCP server you have configured. Alternately, you can configure the DHCP server internally on the controller to hand out leases to the connected clients. (Note: The WLC's DHCP server does not lease addresses to the AP.) The instructions for doing so are included at the end of this document. 1. From the main menu, click Controller. 10 PN: 1725-36192-001_H

Connecting APs
As the APs are connected to the network, they should automatically
find the controller via the CAPWAP discovery algorithms. The
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server will assign each
AP an IP address.
You can configure a DHCP server to run on a remote PC for a small
deployment. However, for large-scale deployments, an enterprise-
grade DHCP server must be used.
The
ap-manager
and
management
interfaces’ confi
guration should
include the DHCP server you have configured. Alternately, you can
configure the DHCP server internally on the controller to hand out
leases to the connected clients. (Note: The WLC’s DHCP server does
not lease addresses to the AP.) The instructions for doing so are
included at the end of this document.
