Hi,

You can fine details in this link http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-3850-series-switches/deployment_guide_c07-727067.html

Pls. note that you need to have AP License in order to run C3850 as MC (Mobility Controller ). If you have an existing 5508 or WiSM controller you can transfer or use them as MC and C3850 as MA.

Sample Mobilty controller configuration :-

wireless management interface Vlan10

Sample Mobility Agent configuration :-

Hope this helps !!
