ProSafe 20-AP Wireless Controller WC7520 Reference Manual • An access point must run at least its initial firmware release or a newer version. There are no other firmware requirements for the access point to function with the wireless controller. In addition, for the auto discovery process to work across layer 3 networks, enable either one of the following options: • Multicast routing for IP address 254.0.100.250 between the wireless controller and the access points. • DHCP option 43 (vendor specific information) on the DHCP server. Specify the wireless controller's IP address to allow the access points to receive the wireless controller's IP address and the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to the access points. The DHCP server on the wireless controller automatically enables DHCP option 43 with its own IP address. Using the Discovery Wizard The Discovery wizard finds access points that are not yet on the managed access point list. 1. Select Access Point > Discovery Wizard. The Discovery Wizard screen displays.
