LWAPP/CAPWAP

[Nikolay_SG]

   I have a question about communication between  WLC MSM760 and APs MSM series - how do they communicate with each other? Whether the WLC supports - "CAPWAP" or "LWAPP". I've read most of the information for the HP wireless solution, but I could not find anything related to this.

the management tunnel between AP and MSM controller is set up via OpenVPN, port 1194/tcp and 1194/udp. The initial controller discovery made by the APs are 38212/udp.

Hi Fredric,

 I am not so familiar with HP Wireless solution, but I want to learn it in detail, so if it is not a problem for you would you give me a direction where I can read in more details about the communication between WLC MSM and Access points MSM series. I suppose that will be interesting for everybody who wants to understand how  HP wireless solution operate.

Thank You in advance,

N.G

Hi,

The most detailed document I've found is the MCG, Mangement and Configuration guide found here

Chapter 5: Working with controlled APs section Discovery of controllers by controlled APs covers it quite good.
