Wireless Discovery Configuration
The DWS-4000 Series switch can discover, validate, authenticate, or monitor the following system devices:
• Peer wireless switches
•APs
• Wireless clients
• Rogue APs
• Rogue wireless clients
The DWS-4000 Series switch can discover peer wireless switches and APs regardless of whether these devices
are connected to each other, located in the same Layer 2 broadcast domain, or attached to different IP
subnets.
You can enable discovery between the switch and peer switches or APs by using one of following four
mechanisms:
1. Manually add the IP address of the switch to the AP when it is in Standalone mode.
2. Configure a DHCP server to include the switch IP address in the DHCP response to the AP DHCP client
request.
3. Use VLANs to broadcast the L2 Wireless Device Discovery Protocol.
4. Manually add the IP address of the AP to the switch.
The Discovery tab is available from the WLAN > Basic Setup page and allows you to configure the switch to
discover APs and other switches by using methods 3 and 4.
Note: With this method, multiple peer switches might find the same access point. The first
association always takes precedence. The AP does not change its association unless the
connectivity to the current wireless switch fails or the switch tells the AP to disassociate and
associate with another switch.
