2. Access Point Discovery
2
You can discover supported NETGEAR access points on the LAN that can be managed by the
wireless management system. See Appendix A, Access Point Firmware Compatibility for a list of
compatible access points. The wireless management system supports Auto Discovery and IP
Discovery.
• Auto Discovery: Use this feature if the wireless management system and all access
points on the LAN are in the same IP subnet. This is a Layer 2 discovery method.
• IP Discovery: If the wireless management system and access points use different IP
subnets, you can use IP discovery to find the access points for each subnet (one subnet
at a time). This is a Layer 3 discovery method.
Note: For discovery to work, each access point must have an IP address.
If more than one access point has the same default IP address, then
only one of them is discovered with the model number at a time. You
have to add the access point to the managed list, change its IP
address, and then run discovery again to discover the next access
point with the default IP.
Auto Discovery
Use Auto Discovery if the wireless management system and all access points on the LAN
are in the same IP subnet. The process of Auto Discovery depends on how your access
points are configured.
