Static IP address configuration – Summit WM Switch's IP address is defined
in Altitude AP configuration. For more information, see
"Configuring static IP address for Altitude APs", on page
2.1.4.2 Discovery mechanism between mobility manager and
mobility agents
The mobility agents discover the mobility manager by one of the following modes:
•
SLP with DHCP Option 78 – The mobility agent on each Summit WM Switch
discovers the address of the mobility manager using DHCP Option 78.
•
Direct IP address option – Defined while configuring the mobility agent. By
explicitly defining the manager's IP address while configuring the agents,
enables the manager and agents to find each other directly without using the
SLP discovery mechanism.
