Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers with 1100, 1130, 1140, 1200, 1230, 1240, 1250 APs

As the APs are connected to the network, they should automatically

find the controller via the CAPWAP discovery algorithms. The

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server will assign each

AP an IP address.

You can configure a DHCP server to run on a remote PC for a small

deployment. However, for large-scale deployments, an enterprise-

grade DHCP server must be used.

The

and

ap-manager

include the DHCP server you have configured. Alternately, you can

configure the DHCP server internally on the controller to hand out

leases to the connected clients. (Note: The WLC's DHCP server does

not lease addresses to the AP.) The instructions for doing so are

included at the end of this document.
