Hi All,

Hope to you a very happy new year,

I successed to add one of theme by the option 60 in the DHCP pool at the Core SW,

So my quetion is below:

I never use option 60.... Just use option 43 and let the APs come up on the WLC that you have set in the option 43. Then the APs will join and you can then set the primary, secondary and or tertiary WLC.

Option 60 is optional.

To add to Scott's post.  Option 60 would be useful if you needed to put certain types of AP on specific controllers.  Otherwise, no real need to use it for the most part.

Though, I do recall an issue a few years ago that some windows machines had issues getting DHCP if option 43 is being returned.

Now, on an IOS switch, you can only configure one option 60 per DHCP scope

HTH,
Steve
