Adding AP to WLC

[mahesh18]

Hi Everyone,

I need to add 2 AP's to the WLC.

Need to confirm only 3 things needed on AP 's configuration:

IP address,Subnet mask and default gateway

Mahesh, 

Your question is not clear.  Can you elaborate further what you're trying to achieve?

Hi Leo,

I am trying to add new Access point to WLC.

So need to know the basic Network info like IP address subnet mask and default gateway I need

to do on AP?

Rest of the config AP should get automatically from the WLC when I connect the new AP to the

network right?

Do you have DHCP Option 43 enabled?

Depends on a few factors.  One of the biggest gotchas in this forum are: 

1.  WLC running the wrong firmware; 

2.  AP not getting the correct IP address; 

3.  AP is not in the correct regulatory domain

Hi Leo,

Which device i should look for to find if  option 43 is enabled or not?
