[c-nsp] WLC and LWAPP Aps

[Nick Griffin]

You should be asking yourself, how many access points can the controller
itself accomodate, I imagine that the DHCP server will let you dole out dhcp
scopes all day long, but at the end of the day the controllers are bound to
a maximum number of access points. If your ap manager and your management
interface are on the same subnet, its a great idea to place the access
points your talking about on the same vlan/subnet so that they may discover
the controller via L2 broadcast frames, otherwise you get to do some
TLV/conversions to configure DHCP option 43, in your situation, since this
is your first deployment I would recommend priming the access points as I
mentioned above. You will also need to configure the ip address of the
controller under the management, and probably the ap manager interface.


HTH,
