N.B. For Cisco, all
ports must have to be trunk and must have to use native vlan for management.
Allow all vlan for the trunk port including MGT vlan.
For Juniper, All
ports must have to be trunk and must have to use native vlan for management.
Allow all vlan for the trunk port excluding MGT vlan.
####################### WLC-AP (Air-AP1850) configuration
#######################
APs are two types. One is Mobility express/standalone device which can be a wireless lan controller (WLC) with an access point (AP) and other type is only access point (AP).
Before start, we have to reset the WLC-AP
(Air-AP1850) and connect the WLC-AP with Laptop by console cable .
1. Therefore, press on the reset button of the
WLC-AP (Air-AP1852i) and then connect wlc-ap to fa0/1 trunk port of Cisco L3
switch. Press the button for 25 sec then it will reset.
2. When reset completed, the following step should
be completed accordingly.

4. From the web Panel go to Wireless Settings>>Add new
WLAN and do accordingly to the following snapshots.
5. After that we will join another AP to the WLC. Therefore,
connect another AP (Air-AP1850) to the switch port fa0/2 and wait for a while.
Then check on the WLC web panel and you will see the second AP has been joined.
