Using DHCP Option 60 with Aironet APs

[elsamadrigal]

Hello,

I'm trying to configure Aironet 1000 series and Aironet 1130 series APs to talk to a wireless controller card inside a 2811 ISR. I have a Catalyst 3550 L2/L3 Switch between my APs and the 2811. So far the Aironet 1000 series found the wireless controller successfully. The following is the current configuration for the 3550 DHCP pool:

ip dhcp pool WLAN_CM

network 172.27.2.0 255.255.255.0

option 60 ascii "Airespace.AP1200"

default-router 172.27.2.1

option 43 ascii "172.27.3.12"

I would like to add another option 60 statement to be able to connect the Aironet 1130 AP. Would this configuration work?:

ip dhcp pool WLAN_CM

network 172.27.2.0 255.255.255.0

option 60 ascii "Airespace.AP1200"

option 60 ascii "Cisco AP c1130"

default-router 172.27.2.1

option 43 ascii "172.27.3.12"

I will try shortly in the lab. I am not sure if I need to create another DHCP pool entirely dedicated for the 1130.

Any input will be much appreciated.

Hello

why do you use option 60?

From my view, the AP needs just to know option 43 to find the controller, but the problem is that the airespace-ap wanna have option 43 in ascii and ios-ap in lwapp mode wanna have the option in hex.

best regards
