KB ARTICLE TYPE:  Troubleshooting

RELATED PRODUCTS: AP, controller

RELATED SOFTWARE VERSIONS: N/A

KEYWORDS: AP, controller

Below are the port numbers that are used for discovery.
The default discovery method is Layer 2 discovery

UDP 9292:-This port is used by AP's to discover the controller with IP address configured.

Other Useful Ports:-

UDP 5000:- This port is for control traffic between AP and Controller.

UDP 9393:-This  port  is used for data traffic.

Note: Make sure that these ports are opened if the controller is behind a Firewall.
If you have Meru APs deployed on the other side of a route boundary from your controller you will need to utilize DNS name resolution or to supply the AP with the controller's IP address.

Example:

ap 1>  ip config l2l3 <l2only | l2preferred | l3preferred |  >
          ip config address <address> configure the AP IP address
          ip config netmask <netmask>configure the AP netmask.
          ip config gateway <netmask>configure the gateway.
          ip config controller name <name> configure controller name
          ip config controller domain <name>configure controller domain.
          ip config net <static | dhcp | none>configure Net for DHCP, static, or none.
          ip config dns add <address>Add DNS server.
          ip config dns remove <address> Remove DNS server.
          ip config <save | write>

Save the IP configuration to non-volatile memory.
          ip config <reset | clear>

Reset/Clear the IP configuration to factory defaults.
Reboot Ap
ap 1> system reboot
