Choosing a Mounting Kit

You can mount the AP in one of the following configurations that best fits installation application:
• Vertically mounted to a wall or pole.
• Horizontally mounted to an eave, ceiling, or pole.
• On a cable strand

When you are installing a Layer 3 AP on a different subnet than the controller, ensure the following:
• Ensure that a DHCP server is reachable from the subnet on which you want to install the AP.
• The subnet has a route back to the controller and ensure that the route back to the controller
has the destination UDP ports 5246 and 5247 open for CAPWAP communications.
• Ensure that the route back to the primary, secondary, and tertiary controllers allows IP packet
fragments.
• Ensure that the AP and the controller have a static 1-to-1 NAT to an outside address if address
translation is used. (Port Address Translation is not supported.).
