E. On the <IP address> > Controller Commands page, under Administrative Commands,
select Reboot and click GO to reboot the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. Then click OK
to confirm the save and reboot.
9. After the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller has rebooted, verify that the LWAPP Transport Mode is
now Layer 3:
A. Select CONFIGURE/Controllers to navigate to the All Controllers page, and select
the desired Cisco Wireless LAN Controller by IP address to have Cisco WCS display the
<IP address> > Controller General page.
B. From the <IP address> > Controller General page, select System/Networking to dis-
play the <IP address> > Networking Setups page.
C. On the <IP address> > Networking Setups page, verify that the Current LWAPP Trans-
port Mode is Layer 3.
10. Select CONFIGURE/Access Points to navigate to the All Access Points page, and MAKE
SURE that the Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points are associated with the Cisco
Wireless LAN Controller before you continue with the next step. If you do not complete this
step, the Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points may fail to associate with the desired
Cisco Wireless LAN Controller after completing the conversion.
11. Power down each Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point to save the Layer 3 configuration
to nonvolatile memory.
12. Connect each Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point to its final location in the network.
Each Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point connects to its Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary
Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, downloads a copy of the latest Operating System code, and
starts reporting its status to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. Note that this can take a few
minutes for each Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point.
You have completed the LWAPP Transport Mode conversion from Layer 2 to Layer 3. The ap-manager
interface now controls all communications between Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers and Cisco 1000
Series lightweight access points on different subnets. Continue with the Product Guide.
