Wireless Lan Controller 2500

[Akaffou Aristide Akaffou]

hello,

I want to configure a wireless lan controller 2500 which reside on a different subnet than some Access points. Is it possible?

[Stephen Rodriguez]

yes, this is achievable so long as you have L3 reachability between the AP and the WLC

HTH,
Steve

There are many ways to discover AP :-

Methods for discovering an AP

A lightweight access point can be discovered in the following ways:

• Layer 3 LWAPP discovery: This  discovery occurs when the LWAP is on a different subnet from the WLC and  the AP uses the IP address rather than the Layer 2 MAC address.

• Layer 2 LWAPP discovery: This  discovery occurs when the LWAP and WLC are on the same subnet and the  discovery data is placed in Ethernet frames that contain the MAC  addresses of the two devices.

  Layer 2 LWAPP discovery cannot be used in Layer 3 environments.
