4.8.2 Configuring Layer 3 Access Port Adoption
The configuration activity required for adopting Access Ports in a layer 3 environment is unique. In a layer 3 environment,
switch discovery is attempted in the following ways:
• On the local VLAN
• Through the DHCP Server
Initially, the Access Port attempts to find its wireless switch by broadcasting a Hello packet on its local VLAN. During this
activity:
1. All switches on the VLAN that receive this Hello packet respond with a parent packet.
2. If no response is received, the Access Port attempts to discover its switch by first obtaining an IP address from a DHCP
