Configure the LMS address 

The AP can bootstrap with any switch on the Wireless LAN network (in a setup 
with master and local switches), if all of the switches are on the same VLAN, 
and if load balancing is enabled on the switches. To force the AP to bootstrap 
with a particular switch the lmsip is configured with the IP address of the 
desired switch. The AP is then forced to bootstrap with that switch.
