Description
Integrated and infrastructure AP's are able to either boot locally using layer 2 or layer 3 broadcast discovery and are able to find the controller if it resides on the same local subnet / broadcast domain
Scope
AP can be deployed across a layer 3 subnet. For this you need to have either a DHCP server on the subnet where the AP resides or a remote DHCP server using DHCP relay.
Solution
Infrastructure AP:
Configure The DHCP server to provide the IP address of the controller to the AP using option 43:
- Infrastuctured AP300: ASCII Access Point AP822- Infrastuctured AP1000: ASCII Access Point AP822- Infrastuctured AP122: ASCII Access Point AP822- Infrastuctured AP822: ASCII Access Point AP822- Infrastuctured AP832: ASCII Access Point AP822- Infrastuctured FAP421: ASCII Access Point FAP421- Infrastuctured FAP423: ASCII Access Point FAP423
