Adopted to Controller - Select this option when deploying the access point as a controller managed
(Dependent mode) access point. Selecting this option closes the Initial AP Setup Wizard. An adopted
access point obtains its configuration from a profile stored on its managing controller. Any manual
configuration changes are overwritten by the controller upon reboot.
Select the Automatic controller discovery option to enable the access point to be discovered and
adopted using layer 2 settings. If preferring layer 3 adoption, select the Static Controller Configuration
option, and define the addresses of the preferred controllers. If using the static method, you’ll also
need to define whether the access point receives an IP address using DHCP or if IP resources are
provided statically.
NOTE
The best way to administer a network populated by numerous access points is to configure them
directly from the designated controller or Virtual Controller AP. If an access point’s configuration requires an
exception from the controller or Virtual Controller AP’s assigned profile configuration, the administrator should
apply a Device Override to change just that access point’s configuration.. For more information on applying an
override to an access point’s Virtual Controller AP assigned configuration profile, see
“Profile Overrides” on
page 155 .
9 Select Next . The Initial AP Setup Wizard displays the Access Point Mode screen to define the access
point's routing or bridging mode functionality.
