User Manual

2.6.1 Wireless Discovery configuration

The wireless controller can discover, validate, authenticate, or monitor the

following system devices:

• Peer wireless controllers

• APs

• Wireless clients

• Rogue APs

• Rogue wireless clients

Setup > AP Management > Poll List

The wireless controller can discover peer wireless controller 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. In order for

the controller to discover other WLAN devices and establish communication

with them, the devices must have their own IP address, must be able to find

other WLAN devices, and must be compatible. When the controller discovers

and validates APs, the controller takes over the management of the AP. If you

configure the AP in Standalone mode, the existing AP configuration is replaced

by the default AP Profile configuration on the controller.



L3/IP Discovery: Select or clear this option to enable or disable IP -based

Discovery is enabled.
