Working with controlled APs
Provisioning APs
6-38
If you define a name that contains a dot, then the domain name is not appended . For
example, if the name is controller.yourdomain.com, no domain name is appended.
If the AP is operating as a DHCP client, the DHCP server will generally return a domain name
when it assigns an IP address to the AP. If you leave the Domain name field on this page
blank, then the DHCP domain name is appended to the specified names instead.
Discover using IP address
The AP attempts to connect with a controller using the IP addresses in the order that they
appear in this list.
Provisioning summary
The following table defines the potential outcome for all provisioning scenarios.
Connectivity
provisioned
Discovery
provisioned
Result
No No Default behavior is used for connectivity and discovery.
See Discovery of controllers by controlled APs on
page 6-6.
No Yes Discovery occurs using the provisioned methods on the
following interfaces:
Last interface on which a controller was
discovered. (Only applies to APs that have
previously discovered a controller.)
Untagged on port 1 (Uplink port on the MSM317).
All detected VLANs (in sequence) on port 1 (Uplink
port on the MSM317).
Yes No Discovery methods are used according to the
provisioned connectivity settings. See Discovery of
controllers by controlled APs on page 6-6.
Note: DHCP discovery is not executed if a static IP
address is provisioned.
Yes Yes Discovery occurs using the provisioned methods over
the provisioned connectivity. The provisioned
discovery method is retried indefinitely if it fails,
however other discovery methods are not attempted.
