NOTE
The Mobility RFS6000 Controller supports up to 256 access points. The Mobility RFS7000
Controller supports up to 1024 access points. However, port adoption per controller is determined
by the number of licenses acquired.
CAUTION
An Access Point is required to have a DHCP provided IP address before attempting layer 3
adoption, otherwise it will not work. Additionally, the Access Point must be able to find the IP
addresses of the controllers on the network.
To locate controller IP addresses on the network:
- Configure DHCP option 189 to specify each controller IP address.
- Configure a DNS Server to resolve an existing name into the IP of the controller. The Access
Point has to get DNS server information as part of its DHCP information. The default DNS name
requested by a Mobility 300 is "Brocade-CAPWAP-Address". However, since the default name is
configurable, it can be set as a factory default to whatever value is needed.
