Step 7 If the access point is in a controller mobility group, configure the controller mobility group
name.
Step 8 Configure the access point-specific 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g network settings.
Step 9 Repeat steps 4 through 8 for each access point you are priming.
Step 10 When you finish priming the access points, remove the power and Ethernet cables and deploy
them to their final locations on the network.
Configuring DHCP Option 43
You can use DHCP Option 43 to provide a list of controller IP addresses to the access points, enabling
the access point to find and join a controller. This section contains a DHCP Option 43 configuration
example on a Windows 2003 Enterprise DHCP server for use with Cisco Aironet lightweight access
points. For other DHCP server implementations, consult their product documentation for configuring
DHCP Option 43.
Note In DHCP Option 43, you should use the IP address of the controller management interface.
Note DHCP Option 43 is limited to one access point type per DHCP pool. You must configure a
separate DHCP pool for each access point type.
Lightweight access points use the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP option 43. DHCP servers
must be programmed to return the option based on the access point’s DHCP Vendor Class Identifier
(VCI) string (DHCP Option 60). Cisco Aironet 1000 series lightweight access points uses the following
TLV format string for DHCP Option 43:
• Airespace AP1200
To configure DHCP Option 43 in the embedded Cisco IOS DHCP server, follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter configuration mode at the Cisco IOS command line interface.
Step 2 Create the DHCP pool, including the necessary parameters such as default router and name
server as shown in the following example:
ip dhcp pool <pool name>
network <IP Network> <Netmask>
default-router <Default router>
dns-server <DNS Server>
