Mobility express DHCP internal and switch port config

I am tyring to configure wireless mobility express for IW6300 using 1542 WAP as master.

Kindly advise what switch port configuration is best practice for DHCP. I created DHCP in switch as below for MGMT of WIFI and then got IP assigned to 1542 of 172.16.29.50 and then set up the ME using cisco provision where I made 3 DHCP scope - one for MGMT as vlan11 native same as switch with ip range 172.16.128.0/25. I made ME as DHCP for all scope including mgmt.. with 172.16.29.50 as IP of ME

SWITCH DHCP SCOPE:

==================

ip dhcp pool MGMT_WIFI_TEST

network 172.16.29.0 255.255.255.192

default-router 172.16.29.1

SWITCH interface config for all access points ports including MASTER

=======================================

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/11

description *wifi-test*

switchport trunk native vlan 11

switchport trunk allowed vlan 11,50,51

switchport mode trunk

logging event status

no snmp trap link-status

spanning-tree portfast

spanning-tree bpduguard enable

ip dhcp snooping trust

vlan 11

name MGMT

vlan 50

name WIFI

vlan 51

name WIFI-GUEST

interface Vlan11

ip address 172.16.29.1 255.255.255.0

interface Vlan50

ip address 172.16.26.1 255.255.254.0

interface Vlan51

ip address 172.16.30.1 255.255.255.128

Now when I remove from switch the DHCP scope above, the new 6300 don’t get located or found on ME even though they are getting ip from ME under MGMT. Why is this? When I configure back the scope on switch then the WAPs get associated with ME.
