What Is the Registration Procedure When a Fit AP and an AC Are Connected Directly or over a Layer 2 Network?
The following figure shows the procedure for a Fit AP to register with an AC when they are connected directly or over a Layer 2 network.
The registration procedure is as follows:
- The Fit AP obtains a Fit AP IP address and DHCP server IP address from the DHCP server.
- The Fit AP broadcasts a Discovery Request message at Layer 2 to attempt to associate with an AC.
- After receiving the Discovery Request message, the AC checks whether the Fit AP has the access right. If the Fit AP is authorized, the AC replies with a Discovery Response message.
- The Fit AP downloads the latest software version from the AC.
- The Fit AP downloads the latest configurations from the AC.
