Migrate AP39XX from Identify controller to XIQ-C

[EF]

Hi Team,

I have to migrate an old deploy with APs 39XX on V2110 controller (Identify) to a new XIQC controller and I´m so confused about XIQC´s AP adoption process.

Now the APs have a VLAN to connecto to Identify controller and it gives the DHCP to them allowing registration.

so in the same VLAN the APs "discover" the controller.

I want to maintain the same simplicity in the new deploy, but Im reading the registration process on XCC and it talks about DNS and DHCP option.  (doc "Extreme_Campus_Controller_v5.46.03_Deployment_Guide.pdf" page 17)

One of the methods talks about "The AP sends a multicast SLP request, looking for any SLP Service Agents providing the Extreme Networks service. " so my doubth is , Does it allow register APs to a controller in the same L2 domain without configure DHCP os DNS options?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,

If neither DNS nor DHCP is configured accordingly, then the APs will use SLP Multicast to locate the controller. This is the same for both IdentFi and XCC/XIQ-C, so no change for you.
