Working with controlled APs
Key controlled-mode events
6-5
The controller receives a discovery request. When started, the AP attempts to
discover all controllers that are operating
on the local network.
See Discovery of controllers by
controlled APs on page 6-6
The controller sends a discovery reply. (If the AP
authentication option is enabled, the AP needs
to be authenticated first.)
See Discovery of controllers by controlled
APs on page 6-6.
AP receives discovery reply. If more than
one reply is received, the AP chooses the
controller with the highest priority
setting.
See Controlled AP discovery on
page 2-11.
Controller adds the AP to a group. This will
either be the default group (if the AP is new/
unknown) or an existing group (to which the AP
was previously assigned).
See Configuring APs on page 6-22.
AP joins with the selected controller.
If AP software is out of date, controller tells the
AP to update its software.
AP fetches the software from the
controller, installs it, and then restarts
itself. Discovery is performed again.
Controller accepts the secure management
tunnel.
AP establishes secure management
tunnel with the controller.
The controller updates the AP configuration. AP receives new software and
configuration.
