Ensuring That APs Can Communicate with ZoneDirector
How to Ensure that APs Can Discover ZoneDirector on the Network

7 If this is the first time that the AP is registering with ZoneDirector, it will attempt
to register with the ZoneDirector device that has the lowest AP load. The AP
computes the load by subtracting the current number of APs registered with
ZoneDirector from the maximum number of APs that ZoneDirector is licensed
to support.
If the AP does not receive a response from any ZoneDirector device on the network,
it goes into idle mode. After a short period of time, the AP will attempt to discover
ZoneDirector again by repeating the same discovery cycle. The AP will continue to
repeat this cycle until it successfully registers with a ZoneDirector.
How to Ensure that APs Can Discover ZoneDirector on
the Network
If you are deploying the APs and ZoneDirector on different subnets, you have three
options for ensuring successful communication between these two devices:
• Option 1: Perform Auto Discovery on Same Subnet, then Transfer the AP to
Intended Subnet
• Option 2: Customize Your DHCP Server
• Option 3: Register ZoneDirector with a DNS Server
NOTE: If the AP and ZoneDirector Are on the Same Subnet
If you are deploying the AP and ZoneDirector on the same subnet, you do not need
to perform additional configuration. Simply connect the AP to the same network as
ZoneDirector. When the AP starts up, it will discover and attempt to register with
ZoneDirector. Approve the registration request (if auto approval is disabled).
Option 1: Perform Auto Discovery on Same Subnet, then
Transfer the AP to Intended Subnet
If you are deploying the AP and ZoneDirector on different subnets, let the AP perform
auto discovery on the same subnet as ZoneDirector before moving the AP to another
subnet. To do this, connect the AP to the same network as ZoneDirector. When
the AP starts up, it will discover and attempt to register with ZoneDirector. Approve
the registration request if auto approval is disabled.
After the AP registers with ZoneDirector successfully, transfer it to its intended
subnet. It will be able to find and communicate with ZoneDirector once you
reconnect it to the other subnet.
