Static Discovery
Manually enter the IP address of the NXC on the NWA. You can enter up
to two IP addresses for the NXC.
Dynamic Discovery via DHCP server
If the NWA gets a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server, you can
simultaneously let it get the NXC IP address by configuring it in the
DHCP server using DHCP Option 138. You can configure up to two NXC
IP addresses on the DHCP server.
Test the Connection
Ping the NXC from the NWA to test the connection.
Router# ping 192.168.1.1 (the NXC IP address)
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.254) 56(84) bytes of data.
If it fails, configure the gateway IP address of the NWA.
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# capwap ap vlan ip gateway 192.168.1.32
If the NWA and NXC are in a VLAN, configure the VLAN ID (tagged or
untagged) using this command:
capwap ap vlan vlan-id VID { tag | untag } (VID from 1 to 4094)
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# capwap ap ac-ip
192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2
Router(config)# show capwap ap

These are the NXC IP addresses
Confirm that static discovery is used to find the
NXC.
AC is the AP Controller, that is, the NXC.
