Basic questions on migrating from a controller-less setup to a 2504 controller setup

[nickj2585]

Hello,

I am new to Cisco networking so forgive me for my basic questions. Currently our company uses a controller-less setup with 2 WAP321's and 1 Cisco controller-less 2602e WAP.  I am told I can reflash the Aironet 2602e to be used with the controller.  My first question is, if I mount the controller and network it into my network to set it up, will it effect my current environment? I don't want a situation where I take down the current environment.  If it will not harm my current wifi network then, should I be able to configure the controller fully and associate my new WAP Cisco Aironet 2602e to it without effecting the current environment?  Thank you!

There will be no problem.

connect AP to switch and place it same place where it was to cover the same area.

Make sure that 2602 AP need minimum 7.2.100.0 version on WLC.

See the compatibilty matrix.
