We are setting up a new site with brand new 7205 controllers and AP-225's. I configured basic connectivity on our controllers, but we are waiting on licenses before we can activate any AP's.
While waiting I wanted to verify the ap's would boot properly, and enabled the switch ports they connect to. Suddenly the AP's are broadcasting the SSID's of our other office from 3400 controllers. I logged onto that set of controllers and found the new AP's had registered to them instead of the new 7205's.
I am wondering why this may be, and how we can hard code the controller ip into the new AP's so that they will not try to register to any other site's controllers. Any documentation I can review would be helpful.
My best guess is that since we have no licenses on the new controllers, the AP's defaulted to broadcasting to anyone else in the network who may have some, and registered to the old ones since we still had a couple AP licenses left on it.
