Our company recently bought a couple of AP-305 access points. Here lies a problem as we don't have a mobility controller. In various documentation there's mentioned an AP can however be turned into a IAP model at first boot when it cannot find a mobility controller. As I understand it upgrades its firmware to work in controllerless mode when it finds a virtual controller in the same LAN.
Did I understand this correctly? If so, should this work with an IAP-205 which is in virtual controller mode? As far as I tried this morning, the AP-305 doesn't show up in de WebGUI of the 205. And looking at a trace I made, I don't see the 305 trying to connect to the virtual controller IP. It just shows it's sending out ADP broadcasts and multicasts and does DNS lookups for aruba-master.
Can someone share some light on this matter?
Thank you,
Alexander
