hi ,

I ordered controller 2504 and will arive soon. I want to know that after configure the initial setup of 2504 (i.e. AP manager , Managment IPs etc) and defining the DHCP for AP. Will the 1042 lightweight AP will register with the controller automatically or i need to manually define the AP (MAC address) on WLC. and also whether the Option 43 and 60 are correctly defined?

Management Interface: 10.10.22.15

AP Manager Int: 10.10.22.16

You don't need an ap manager with the 2504. Also the 2504 does not support LAG so you can have an etherchannel.

Take a look at this 2504 config guide

Make sure the WLC is running, at least, 7.0.98.0 to be able to recognize and support the 1040.

Hi Naray,

I just setup my wireless network with 2504 WLC and 1142 AP's. I don't have to define option 43 or 60 for DHCP i think you need to do this if you have more than one dhcp scope or if you create new scope for wireless.

In my case i use my old dhcp scope and i just configured wlc with external dhcp and AP joined straight  away. One issue i had was AP wasn't joinging the WLC because of wronge time and date on wlc. Its prety straight forward hope it goes well for you.
