Migrating APs from MA/MC Devices to WLC 5520s

[jvasilko]

We are now in the process of decomming our 'old' 5760 controllers, and MA/MC configured 3650 switches and I have a question as to the migration of the APs.  I have done AP migration on APs that were directly associated to the 5760s, but I have not yet done a migration of an AP that is associated to an MA running on a 3650.  Can someone tell me, or point me to the process that will take care of this migration.  I want to make sure that I do everything in the proper order so as to not 'lose' any access points in the migration process.

It is simple. You have to change those AP connected switchports access vlan to other vlan than wireless management vlan of 3650. (eg, if current wireless management vlan is X change those AP connected switchport to vlan Y)

Makesure this new vlan got DHCP option 43 configured pointing to 5520 IP address.

Otherwise you need to use any other methods (DNS, Broadcast forwarding)
