Wireless Discovery configuration

The wireless controller can discover, validate, authenticate, or monitor the following
system devices:
• Peer wireless controllers
• APs
• Wireless clients
• Rogue APs
• Rogue wireless clients
Setup > AP Management > Poll List
The wireless controller can discover peer wireless controller and APs regardless
of whether these devices are connected to each other, located in the same Layer
2 broadcast domain, or attached to different IP subnets. In order for the controller
to discover other WLAN devices and establish communication with them, the
devices must have their own IP address, must be able to find other WLAN
devices, and must be compatible. When the controller discovers and validates
APs, the controller takes over the management of the AP. If you configure th e
AP in Standalone mode, the existing AP configuration is replaced by the default
AP Profile configuration on the controller.
L3/IP Discovery: Select or clear this option to enable or disable IP -based
discovery of access points and peer wireless controller. When the L3/IP
Discovery option is selected, IP polling is enabled and the controller will
periodically poll each address in the configured IP List. By default, L3/IP
Discovery is enabled.
List of IP Address: Shows the list of IP addresses configured for discovery.
To remove entries from the list, select one or more entries and click Delete.
Hold the "shift" key or "control" key to select specific entry.
IP Address Range: This text field is used to add a range of IP address entries
to the IP List. Enter the IP address at the start of the address range in the From
field, and enter the IP address at the end of the range in the To field, then click
