6 5 Configuring the Access Point This section describes how to connect the access point to a wireless LAN controller . Because the configuration process takes plac e on the controller , see the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for additional information. This gu ide is available on Cisco.com. The Controller Discovery Process The 35[...]

7 Access points must be discovered by a controller before they can become a n active part of the network. The 3502P access point supports these controller discovery processes: • Layer 3 CAPW AP discovery —Can occur on different subnets th an the access point and uses IP addresses and UDP packets rather than MA C addresses used by Layer 2 discov[...]

8 Note Y ou can mount the access point above a suspended cei ling but you must purchase addition al mounti ng hardware : See “Mou nting the Acc ess Point ” section on page 12 for additional information. • Access point power options: power supplied by th e recommended external power supply (Cisco AIR-PWR-B), a DC power supply , PoE from a netw[...]

9 Pre-Installation Configuration Setup Figure 3 shows the pre-installation configuration setup. Figure 3 Pr e-Inst allation Configuration Setup Follow these steps to perform the pre-installa tion configuration. Step 1 Make sure that the Cisco wireless LAN controller DS port is connected to the network. Use the CLI, web-browser interface, or Cisco W[...]

10 e. CAPW AP UDP ports must not be blocked in the network. f. The access point must be able to find the IP address of the controller . This can be accomplished using DHCP , DNS, or IP subnet broadcast. This guide describes the DHCP method to convey the controller IP addres s. For other methods, refer to the product documentation. See also the “U[...]

11 c. If the access point shuts down, check the power source. d. After the access point finds the Cisco wireless LAN controller, it attempts to download the new operating system code if the access point code version differs from the Cisco wireless LAN controller code version. While this is happening, the Status LED blinks dark blue. e. If the opera[...]

16 Troubleshooting the Ac cess Point Join Process Access points can fail to join a controller for many reasons: a R ADIUS auth orization is pending; self-signed certificat es are not enabled on the cont roller; the access point’ s and controller’ s regulatory domains don’ t match, and so on. Controller software enables you to configure the a [...]

17 • The access point is still connected to the same cont roller , and the global syslog server IP address configuration on the controller has been changed using the config ap syslog host global syslog_server_ IP_address command. In this case, the controller sends the new global syslog server IP address to the access point. • The access point i[...]
