WLAN Management Software finds a switch configuration that matches the model and WSS
Software version and has a management interface in the same subnet as the new switch.
WLAN Management Software also notices that the serial number of the new switch does not
match the serial number in the switch configuration in WLAN Management Software.
However, because the Auto-Config IP Subnet Matching option is enabled, WLAN
Management Software does not reject the configuration request.
