Wireless Discovery configuration
The wireless controller can discover, validate, authenticate, or monitor the
following system devices:
• Peer wireless
controllers
• APs
• Wireless clients
• Rogue APs
• Rogue wireless clients
Setup > AP Management > Poll List
The wireless controller can discover peer wireless controller and APs
regardless of whether these devices are connected to each other, located in the
same Layer 2 broadcast domain, or attached to different IP subnets. In order for
the controller to discover other WLAN devices and establish communication
with them, the devices must have their own IP address, must be able to find
other WLAN devices, and must be compatible. When the controller discovers
and validates APs, the controller takes over the management of the AP. If you
configure the AP in Standalone mode, the existing AP configuration is replaced
by the default AP Profile configuration on the controller.
L3/IP Discovery
: Select or clear this option to enable or disable IP-based
discovery of access points and peer wireless controller. When the L3/IP
Discovery option is selected, IP polling is enabled and the controller will
periodically poll each address in the configured IP List. By default, L3/IP
Discovery is enabled.
List of IP Address
: Shows the list of IP addresses configured for discovery.
To remove entries from the list, select one or more entries and click Delete.
Hold the "shift" key or “control” key to select specific entry.
IP Address Range
: This text field is used to add a range of IP address entries
to the IP List. Enter the IP address at the start of the address range in the From
field, and enter the IP address at the end of the range in the To field, then
