Verifying the Wireless LAN Controller Software Version
On the Summary page, you can verify the software version that the wireless LAN controller is running.
If a version update is necessary, refer to the appropriate controller configuration documentation.
Recording the Access Point MAC Address
Use a text file to record the MAC address of all the access points you intend to deploy in your network.
Having a file of the access point MAC addresses will be of considerable value for future testing. While
you are compiling the list, you might want to change the name of the access point to something you
can easily remember. The name can contain up to 32 characters. The following example,
fisher_street:ea:co contains the last four HEX characters of the access point MAC address.
