Make sure DHCP is enabled on the network. The access point must receive its IP address through DHCP. - Page 14 If the access point remains in this mode for more than five minutes, the access point is unable to find the Master Cisco wireless LAN controller. Check the connection between the access point and the Cisco wireless LAN controller and be sure that they are on the same subnet.
- Page 15 When you are installing a Layer 3 access point on a different subnet than the Cisco Note wireless LAN controller, be sure that a DHCP server is reachable from the subnet on which you will be installing the access point, and that the subnet has a route back to the Cisco wireless LAN controller.
