• Access points in the factory default state that are in the same Layer 2 network and are assigned the same IP address can be discovered. In the factory default state, AP dynamic IP configuration is disabled by default. After discovering an access point, you can either enable it from the wireless controller or leave it in its default state. If you enable dynamic IP configuration on the access points, firmware upgrades on access points occur in parallel. Otherwise, firmware upgrades on access points happens sequentially, which takes longer. • Specifying an internal DHCP server on the wireless controller automatically enables DHCP option 43 (vendor-specific information) with the IP address of the wireless controller. When an external DHCP server is used, Option 43 is not required if the access points are in the same Layer 2 network as the wireless controller. If the access points are not in the same L2 network, then Option 43 with the wireless controller IP must be configured on the external server. ¾¾ To discover access points and add them to the Managed AP List: 1. Access the wireless controller at the network IP address that you configured (see Configure the Wireless Controller on page 5). 2. Select Access Point > Discovery > Discovery Wizard. 9
