Configuring the Wireless AP
Step 5 – Use a multicast SLP request to find SLP SAs
●
If all of the preceding methods fail to locate a Summit WM Controller, the Wireless AP sends a
multicast SLP request, looking for any SLP Service Agents providing the Extreme Networks service.
Registration After Discovery
Any of the discovery steps 2 through 5 can inform the Wireless AP of a list of multiple IP addresses to
which the Wireless AP may attempt to connect. Once the Wireless AP has discovered these addresses, it
sends out connection requests to each of them. These requests are sent simultaneously. The Wireless AP
will attempt to register only with the first which responds to its request.
When the Wireless AP obtains the IP address of the Summit WM Controller, it connects and registers,
sending its serial number identifier to the Summit WM Controller, and receiving from the Summit WM
Controller a port IP address and binding key.
Once the Wireless AP is registered with a Summit WM Controller, the Wireless AP must be configured.
After the Wireless AP is registered and configured, it can be assigned to a WM Access Domain Service
(WM-AD) to handle wireless traffic.
Default Wireless AP Configuration
Default AP configuration simplifies the registration after discovery process. Default Wireless AP
configuration acts as a configuration template that can be automatically assigned to new registering
APs. The default Wireless AP configuration allows you to specify common sets of radio configuration
parameters and WM-AD assignments for APs. For more information, see

Understanding the Wireless AP LED Status
When the Wireless AP is powered on and boots, you can follow its progress through the registration
process by observing the LED sequence described below.
The Status LED (center) also indicates power—unlit when unit is off, and green (solid) when the AP has
completed discovery and is operational.
