Connecting the Mesh APs to the Network for Discovery and Registration

Connect each Mesh wireless AP to the enterprise network to enable it to discover and register itself with the wireless controller.

Note

Note

Before you connect the Mesh APs to the enterprise network for discovery and registration, you must ensure that the Security mode property of the wireless controller is defined according to your security needs. The Security mode property dictates how the wireless controller behaves when registering new and unknown devices. For more information, see Wireless AP Registration. If the Security mode is set to Allow only approved Wireless APs to connect (this is also known as secure mode), you must manually approve the Mesh APs after they are connected to the network for the discovery and registration. For more information, see New Button -- Adding and Registering a Wireless AP.

Depending upon the number of Ethernet ports available, you may connect one or more Mesh wireless APs at a time, or you may connect all of them together.

Once a Mesh wireless AP has discovered and registered itself with the wireless controller, disconnect it from the enterprise network.
