Discover and Pair Other GWN76xx Access Point

First, note that by default the GWN controller access point will automatically discover all APs connected to the same LAN
(broadcast domain), there is also a possibility to pair and provision remote APs using DHCP option 43 with master direction
explained below.
Master Direction
To pair and manage access points located on remote networks, the admin needs to configure the IP address of master AP on
DHCP option 43 which will be send to the slave access point during booting stage and allow the save/master connection to
be established remotely. GWN76xx accepts option 224 encapsulated in option 43, and the syntax is in TLV format. A simple
example of DHCP 43 configuration would be:
224(Type)12(Length)10.157.0.234(Value) translated into Hex as e00c31302e3135372e302e323334
Scenario example: a company has two offices connected via VPN (master AP located on network 192.168.1.0/24 and slave AP
located on remote network 192.168.2.0/2). On remote network the admin can set DHCP option 43 using GWN70xx router as
following value:
encap:43,224,"192.168.1.100".
The slave AP has the option "Allow DHCP Option 43 to override GWN Manager Address" enabled by default.
Option 43 Override
After that, the slave AP will be listed on the master AP discovered devices and ready for paring and provisioning process
which is described on the next steps.
