When the wireless controller WAC-1000 / WAC-1001 is connected with the Fit AP by crossing three-layer network, the Option 43 mode is used; when Fit AP is connected to the wireless controller by crossing three-layer network, Fit AP can directly obtain the IP address of the wireless controller through the Option 43 attribute of DHCP, thus completing the registration on the wireless controller. The specific process is shown in the figure below: Figure 6- 1 WAC-1000 / WAC-1001 and AP centralized manager communicate on the second floor When the Fit AP and the wireless controller cross three layers of network connection, the registration procedure of the Fit AP in the wireless controller through the Option 43 attribute of DHCP server is as follows: 1) Fit AP obtains IP address, option 43 attribute (the attribute carries the IP address of the three-layer switches) through the DHCP server. 2) Fit AP will obtain the IP address of three-layer switch from the option 43 attribute, and then sends the unicast discovery request to the wireless controller. 3) The wireless controller of the wireless switch that receives the discovery request packet will check if the Fit AP has the access to this machine, and answers that it discovers a response if any. 4) Fit AP downloads the latest version of software from wireless controller of the wireless switch. 5) Fit AP downloads the latest configuration from the wireless controller. 6) Fit AP begins to work normally to exchange of user data packets with the wireless controller. Tip: (1) In the process of device operation, while the configuration file is modified on the AP, for instance, it joins in a service area, WAC-1000 / WAC-1001 will save the modified configuration file locally and send it to AP, and the configuration file will be deleted after WAC-1000 / WAC-1001 powers off. (2) WAC-1000 / WAC-1001 will delete the configuration file saved before after recovering the AP to its factory configuration remotely. (3) The AP uploaded configuration file will not be displayed in the configuration file list. (4) AP can start transmitting user data immediately after successfully obtaining the software, configuration file. 18

When the wireless controller WAC-1000 / WAC-1001 is connected with the Fit AP by crossing three-layer
network, the Option 43 mode is used; when Fit AP is connected to the wireless controller by crossing three-layer
network, Fit AP can directly obtain the IP address of the wireless controller through the Option 43 attribute of
DHCP, thus completing the registration on the wireless controller. The specific process is shown in the figure
below:
Figure 6- 1 WAC-1000 / WAC-1001 and AP centralized manager communicate on the second floor
When the Fit AP and the wireless controller cross three layers of network connection, the registration procedure
of the Fit AP in the wireless controller through the Option 43 attribute of DHCP server is as follows:
1) Fit AP obtains IP address, option 43 attribute (the attribute carries the IP address of the three-layer switches)
through the DHCP server.
2) Fit AP will obtain the IP address of three-layer switch from the option 43 attribute, and then sends the unicast
discovery request to the wireless controller.
3) The wireless controller of the wireless switch that receives the discovery request packet will check if the Fit AP
has the access to this machine, and answers that it discovers a response if any.
4) Fit AP downloads the latest version of software from wireless controller of the wireless switch.
5) Fit AP downloads the latest configuration from the wireless controller.
6) Fit AP begins to work normally to exchange of user data packets with the wireless controller.
Tip:
(1) In the process of device operation, while the configuration file is modified on the AP, for instance, it joins in a
service area, WAC-1000 / WAC-1001 will save the modified configuration file locally and send it to AP, and the
configuration file will be deleted after WAC-1000 / WAC-1001 powers off.
(2) WAC-1000 / WAC-1001 will delete the configuration file saved before after recovering the AP to its factory
configuration remotely.
(3) The AP uploaded configuration file will not be displayed in the configuration file list.
(4) AP can start transmitting user data immediately after successfully obtaining the software, configuration file.
