appropriate Cisco wireless LAN controller guide.
a.
Make sure that access points have Layer 3 connectivity to the Cisco wireless LAN controller 
Management Interface.
b.
Configure the switch to which your access point is to attach. See the Cisco Wireless LAN 
Controller Configuration Guide
 for additional information.
c.
Set the Cisco wireless LAN controller as the master so that new access points always join with 
it.
