• As the AP attempts to connect to the controller, the LED cycles through a green, red, and off sequence, which can take up to five minutes. If the AP remains in this mode for more than five minutes, the AP cannot find the primary Cisco Catalyst Note 9800 Series Wireless Controller.
If your AP does not indicate normal operation, turn it off and repeat the preinstallation configuration. Note When you are installing a Layer 3 access point on a subnet that is different from the Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller, ensure the following setup is configured: •...

Checking the Access Point LEDs, on page 50 Controller Discovery Process The Cisco AP must join a controller to function as an AP and start serving clients. Cisco uses a process called controller discovery process to join a controller. The devices use Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) to communicate with each other.
When an AP receives an IP address and DNS information from a DHCP server, it contacts the DNS to resolve CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain. When the DNS sends a list of controller IP addresses, the AP sends discovery requests to the controllers.
