Figure4 Pre-Installation Configuration Setup

To perform pre-installation configuration, perform the following steps:

Step1 Make sure that the Cisco wireless LAN controller DS port is connected to the network. Use

the CLI, web-browser interface, or Cisco WCS procedures as described in the appropriate

Cisco wireless LAN controller guide.

a. Make sure that access points have Layer 3 connectivity to the Cisco wireless LAN controller

Management and AP-Manager Interface.

b. Configure the switch to which your access point is to attach. See the Cisco Wireless LAN

Controller Configuration Guide, Release x.x for additional information.

c. Set the Cisco wireless LAN controller as the master so that new access points always join with

it.

d. Make sure DHCP is enabled on the network. The access point must receive its IP address

through DHCP.

e. CAPWAP UDP ports must not be blocked in the network.

f. The access point must be able to find the IP address of the controller. This can be

accomplished using DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast. This guide describes the DHCP

method to convey the controller IP address. For other methods, refer to the product
