Primay controller

[firestartest]

I have DHCP with option 43 and 60.  The AP's connect to the controller and everything is OK.  Do I still need to manually put the Primary Controller IP address and name in each AP from the WLC?  Was thinking if an AP was moved to a new subnet with DHCP and NO options would it store the WLC IP address?

The AP will always remember the last WLC it joined, so moving to another subnet would work.

You don't need to set primary,secondary and tertiary WLC on each AP no.

A little more detail .. When an AP joins the controller it downloads the mobility groups (list of all the controllers that controller the ap joined) knowns about... So it knows about all the controllers in your mobiltiy group...
