As the APs are connected to the network, they should automatically
find the controller via the CAPWAP discovery algorithms. The
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server will assign each
AP an IP address.
You can configure a DHCP server to run on a remote PC for a small
deployment. However, for large-scale deployments, an enterprise-
grade DHCP server must be used.
The and

configure the DHCP server internally on the controller to hand out
leases to the connected clients. (Note: The WLC's DHCP server does
not lease addresses to the AP.) The instructions for doing so are
included at the end of this document.
