AutoInstall Feature of WLC
The AutoInstall feature is implemented starting with WLC software version 5.0 and later. When you boot up a
controller that does not have a configuration, the AutoInstall feature can download a configuration file from a
TFTP server and then load the configuration to the controller automatically. Create a configuration file from a
controller that is already on the network (or through a WCS filter) and place that configuration file on a TFTP
server. Configure a DHCP server such that it povides IP address, TFTP server, hostname, etc., to the WLC.
