Configuring for W-AirWave Discovery Through DHCP The W-AirWave can be discovered through the DHCP server. You can configure this only if W-AirWave was not configured earlier or if you have deleted the precedent configuration. On the DHCP server, the format for option 60 is " InstantAP", and the two formats for option 43 are ",," and "," . If you use the ,, format, the PSK-based authentication is used to access the AMP server. If you use the , format, the W-IAP resolves the domain name into two IP addresses-W-AirWave Primary and W-AirWave Backup-and then the W-IAP starts a certificate-based authentication with AMP server, instead of the PSK login. For option 43, when you choose to enter the domain name, the IP address and key are not available. Enabling DNS-Based Discovery of the Provisioning AMP Server W-IAPs can now automatically discover the provisioning AMP server if the DHCP option 43 and Activate cannot perform zero-touch provisioning (ZTP )and transfer the W-AirWave configuration to the W-IAP. When a domain option xxx is included in the DHCP configuration, the W-IAP will search the DNS server records for aruba-airwave.xxx. When there is no domain option, the W-IAP will search only the server records for aruba-airwave. To enable W-IAPs to automatically discover the AMP server, create a DNS record for aruba-airwave.xxx or aruba-airwave in the DNS server. To use this feature on the W-AirWave side, enable certificate-based login. For information on how to enable certificate-based login, see PSK-Based and Certificate-Based Authentication on page 309. Standard DHCP Options 60 and 43 on Windows Server 2008 In networks that are not using DHCP options 60 and 43, it is easy to use the standard DHCP options 60 and 43 for an W-IAP or AP. For APs, these options can be used to indicate the master controller or the local controller. For W-IAPs, these options can be used to define the W-AirWave IP, group, password, and domain name. 1. From a server running Windows Server 2008, navigate to Server Manager > Roles > DHCP sever > domain > DHCP Server > IPv4. 2. Right-click IPv4 and select Set Predefined Options.
