SolutionMeru APs can be discovered via layer 2 or Layer 3.
Below are the port numbers that are used for discovery.
The default discovery method is Layer 2 discovery
UDP 9292:-This port is used by AP's to discover the controller with IP address configured.
Other Useful Ports:-
UDP 5000:- This port is for control traffic between AP and Controller.
UDP 9393:-This port is used for data traffic.
Note: Make sure that these ports are opened if the controller is behind a Firewall.
If
you have Meru APs deployed on the other side of a route boundary from
your controller you will need to utilize DNS name resolution or to
supply the AP with the controller's IP address.
Example:
ap 1> ip config l2l3 <l2only | l2preferred | l3preferred | >
ip config address <address> configure the AP IP address
ip config netmask <netmask>configure the AP netmask.
ip config gateway <netmask>configure the gateway.
ip config controller name <name> configure controller name
ip config controller domain <name>configure controller domain.
ip config net <static | dhcp | none>configure Net for DHCP, static, or none.
ip config dns add <address>Add DNS server.
ip config dns remove <address> Remove DNS server.
ip config <save | write>
Save the IP configuration to non-volatile memory.
ip config <reset | clear>
