The functionality provided by the controller does not change except for customers who have Layer 2 deployments, which CAPWAP does not support. Deployments can combine CAPWAP and LWAPP software on the controllers. LWAPP-enabled access points are compatible with CAPWAP and conversion to a CAPWAP controller is seamless. The discovery process using CAPWAP is identical to the Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) used with previous Cisco Aironet access points. CAPWAP is a standard, interoperable protocol which enables an access controller to manage a collection of wireless termination points. The 3500 series access point uses the IETF standard Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points Protocol (CAPWAP) to communicate between the controller and other wireless access points on the network. This document describes how to connect the access point to a wireless LAN controller.
