CAUTION: An access port is required to have a DHCP provided IP address before

!attempting layer 3 adoption, otherwise it will not work. Additionally, the access port must be able to find the IP addresses of the switches on the network.

To locate switch IP addresses on the network:

•Configure DHCP option 189 to specify each switch IP address.

•Configure a DNS Server to resolve an existing name into the IP of the switch. The access port has to get DNS server information as part of its DHCP information. The default DNS name requested by an AP300 is “Symbol-CAPWAP-Address”. However, since the default name is configurable, it can be set as a factory default to whatever value is needed.
