Hi I recommend you first inventory how many and where the access points will go. It is pretty safe to have a seperate vlan just for AP management. This is good for several reasons, one you can create DHCP vendor options so that your AP's can automatically join the controller, and you can restrict users from having direct access to the AP's. It is not necessary to have the AP's in the management vlan of your controller. I would also recommend using DNS for registrations of the Access points, it's pretty easy to do,
