Provisioning discovery
Use the Provisioning > Discovery page to provision the method a controlled AP uses to
discover a service controller. Two options can be provisioned: DNS discovery or discovery
via IP address. The following page shows Discovery using DNS provisioned.

Discover using DNS
The AP attempts to connect with a service controller using the names in the order that they
appear in this list.
To discover the service controller on the network, the AP appends each name with the
specified Domain name.
In the above example, the AP will search for service controllers with the names:
service-controller-1.mydomain.com
service-controller-2.mydomain.com
If you define a name that contains a dot, then the domain name is not appended . For
example, if the name is controller.yourdomain.com, no domain name is appended.
If the AP is operating as a DHCP client, the DHCP server will generally return a domain name
when it assigns an IP address to the AP. If you leave the Domain name field on this page
blank, then the DHCP domain name is appended to the specified names instead.
