What to Do Next
When you power up a MAP that is not connected to a wired Ethernet, fiber-optic, or cable network to
the controller, the access point uses the Cisco Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP) to bind to
another mesh access point (MAP) with the best path to a root access point (RAP) connected to the wired
network to a controller. The access point sends a discovery request when powered up. If you have
configured the access point in the controller correctly, the controller sends back a discovery response to
the access point. When that happens, the access point sends out a join request to the controller, and the
controller responds with a join confirmation response. Then the access point establishes a Control And
Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) connection to the controller and gets the shared
secret configured on the controller.
Refer to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for more information on configuring,
monitoring, and operating your access points.
