Usage Guidelines
The CAPWAP protocol allows lightweight access points to use DHCPv6 to discover a Wireless
Controller to which it can connect. CAPWAP is a standard, interoperable protocol that enables a
controller to manage a collection of wireless access points.
Wireless access points use the DHCPv6 option 52 (RFC 5417) to supply the IPv6 management interface
addresses of the primary, secondary, and tertiary Wireless Controllers.
Examples The following example shows how to configure an IPv6 address for a CAPWAP access controller:
Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# ipv6 dhcp pool pool1
Device(config-dhcpv6)# capwap-ac address 2001:DB8::1
Device(config-dhcpv6)# end
