After the wireless controller autodiscovers the access points, as explained in
Access Point
Discovery and Discovery Guidelines
on page 51, select the site designation and then add the
access points to the managed list so that the wireless controller can manage them.
To select the site designation and add discovered access points to the managed list:
1.
On the last Discovery Wizard screen (Step 3 of X: Select Access Points to manage; see
Figure 23
on page 56) that displays the discovered access points, select an access
point that you want to designate as a remote access point.
2.
From the Site drop-down list, select
Remote
. The default is Local. (All access points for
which you do not change the site designation to Remote are designated as Local.)
3.
Repeat
step 1
and
step 2
for each access point that you want to designate as a remote
access point.
4.
Select the check boxes for individual access points, or select the check box on the upper left
to select all access points.
5.

wireless controller.
•

Access Point > Last Discovered
to view the most recently discovered access
points. From this screen, you can add the access points to the Managed AP List.

from the discovery results and the Last Discovered screen.
