The discovery process using CAPWAP is identical to the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) used with previous Cisco Aironet access points. LWAPP-enabled access points are compatible with CAPWAP, and conversion to a CAPWAP controller is seamless. Deployments can combine CAPWAP and LWAPP software on the controllers.
ap3602pgetstart.fm Page 8 Friday, September 21, 2012 10:28 AM • DHCP server discovery—This feature uses DHCP option 43 to provide controller IP addresses to the access points. Cisco switches support a DHCP server option that is typically used for this capability. For more information about DHCP option 43, see the “Configuring DHCP Option 43 and DHCP Option 60” section on page 20. • DNS discovery—The access point can discover controllers through your domain name server (DNS).
ap3602pgetstart.fm Page 9 Friday, September 21, 2012 10:28 AM Installation Summary Installing the access point involves these operations: • Performing a pre-installation configuration (optional) • Mounting the access point • Grounding the access point • Deploying the access point on the wireless network Performing a Pre-Installation Configuration The following procedures ensure that your access point installation and initial operation go as expected.

Use the CLI, web-browser interface, or Cisco WCS procedures as described in the appropriate Cisco wireless LAN controller guide. a.
ap3602pgetstart.fm Page 11 Friday, September 21, 2012 10:28 AM f. The access point must be able to find the IP address of the controller. This can be accomplished using DHCP, DNS, or IP subnet broadcast. This guide describes the DHCP method to convey the controller IP address. For other methods, refer to the product documentation. See also the “Using DHCP Option 43” section on page 14 for more information. Step 2 Apply power to the access point: a. The access point is 802.3af (15.
ap3602pgetstart.fm Page 12 Friday, September 21, 2012 10:28 AM d. After the access point finds the Cisco wireless LAN controller, it attempts to download the new operating system code if the access point code version differs from the Cisco wireless LAN controller code version. While this is happening, the Status LED blinks dark blue. e. If the operating system download is successful, the access point reboots. Step 3 Configure the access point if required.
ap3602pgetstart.fm Page 13 Friday, September 21, 2012 10:28 AM 7 Mounting the Access Point Cisco Aironet 3602 series access points can be mounted in several configurations, including on a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an electrical or network box, and above a suspended ceiling.

ap3602pgetstart.fm Page 17 Friday, September 21, 2012 10:28 AM Controller software enables you to configure the access points to send all CAPWAP-related errors to a syslog server. You do not need to enable any debug commands on the controller because all of the CAPWAP error messages can be viewed from the syslog server itself. The state of the access point is not maintained on the controller until it receives a CAPWAP join request from the access point.
ap3602pgetstart.fm Page 18 Friday, September 21, 2012 10:28 AM • The access point is still connected to the same controller, and a specific syslog server IP address has been configured for the access point on the controller using the config ap syslog host specific Cisco_AP syslog_server_IP_address command. In this case, the controller sends the new specific syslog server IP address to the access point. • The access point is disconnected from the controller and joins another controller.
