Access Point Discovery Guidelines
You must run the Discovery Wizard for the wireless controller to discover supported
NETGEAR access points on the LAN or WAN. The wireless controller can discover access
points that are still in their factory default state and access points that are already deployed in
a standalone configuration.
NETGEAR access points on the LAN or WAN. The wireless controller can discover access
points that are still in their factory default state and access points that are already deployed in
a standalone configuration.
Both access points in factory default state and deployed standalone access points run
standalone firmware. For information about the minimum required standalone firmware
versions, see
standalone firmware. For information about the minimum required standalone firmware
versions, see
After the access points are discovered, you can add them to the Managed AP List, enabling
the wireless controller to automatically upgrade the standalone firmware of the access points
to managed-mode firmware. You can then use the wireless controller to configure, manage,
and monitor the managed access points.

General Discovery Guidelines
An access point must run at least its initial firmware release or a newer version. For firmware
16. No other firmware
requirements exist for the access point to function with the wireless controller.
Access points in factory default state that are in the same Layer 2 network can have the
same IP address and still be discovered. Depending on the configuration of the DHCP server,
these access points are discovered in parallel or sequentially.

Layer 3 Discovery Guidelines
The following are the requirements for autodiscovery of local access points across Layer 3
networks:
networks:
•
All standalone access points must have SNMP and SSH enabled. (This is the default
setting for access points.)
•
UDP port number 7890 must be unblocked in the firewall.
•
Each access point must have a unique IP address. (This requirement does not apply to
Layer 2 discovery.) If more than one access point has the same IP address, only one of
them is discovered at a time. You must add the access point to the managed list, change
its IP address, and run discovery again to discover the next access point with that IP
address.
