! Configure via GUI: WLC Web UI → Configuration → Management

! OR via CLI (preferred for automation):

configure terminal

! Management interface (GigabitEthernet0)

Step 15.4.2: Configure Access Point for CAPWAP IPv6

! ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
! ACCESS POINT CAPWAP IPv6 (Catalyst 9136 - WiFi 7)
! ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

! APs automatically discover WLC via:
! 1. DHCP Option 43 (IPv4) or Option 52 (IPv6)
! 2. DNS SRV record (_cisco-capwap-controller._udp)
! 3. Broadcast/multicast discovery

! Method 1: DHCP Option 52 (DHCPv6)
! On DHCP server (ISE or external), configure:
! DHCPv6 Option 52: WLC IPv6 address
! Value: 2001:db8:abc1:1000::12 (WLC AP-Manager IPv6)

! Method 2: DNS SRV Record (Preferred)
! On DNS server (bind format):
_cisco-capwap-controller._udp.abhavtech.com. 86400 IN SRV 1 1 5246 wlc-mum-01.abhavtech.com.
wlc-mum-01.abhavtech.com. 3600 IN AAAA 2001:db8:abc1:1000::12

! Method 3: Static WLC IP on AP (for troubleshooting)
! SSH to AP (if accessible):
AP# capwap ap controller ipv6 address 2001:db8:abc1:1000::12

! Verify AP joined via IPv6
! On WLC:
show ap summary
! Expected:

! IoT devices may need stateful DHCPv6 for:
! - Static IPv6 addressing (easier management)
! - DHCPv6 options (NTP servers, domain search list)
! - Integration with IPAM systems

16.4 Multicast PIM Configuration

Step 16.4.1: Enable PIM Sparse-Mode for LISP

! ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
! PIM SPARSE-MODE FOR LISP MAP-NOTIFY MULTICAST
! ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

! LISP uses multicast for map-notify messages:
! IPv4: 239.1.1.1
! IPv6: ff02::fb (link-local) or ff05::1:1 (site-local)

! Configure on all fabric nodes (Border, CP, Edge)

configure terminal

! Enable IPv6 multicast routing
ipv6 multicast-routing

! Configure PIM sparse-mode on underlay interfaces
! (Already configured from Phase 1 for IPv4, add IPv6)

! Example: Underlay link between MUM-CP-01 and MUM-BN-01
interface TenGigabitEthernet1/0/1
  description UNDERLAY-TO-MUM-BN-01
  !
  ! IPv6 PIM sparse-mode
  ipv6 pim sparse-mode
  !
  ! (Repeat for all underlay interfaces)

! Configure Rendezvous Point (RP) for IPv6
! Use Border node as RP

! On all fabric nodes:
ipv6 pim rp-address 2001:db8:abc1:0::1  ! MUM-BN-01 loopback

! On Border node (RP):
interface Loopback0
  ipv6 pim sparse-mode

! Verify PIM
show ipv6 pim neighbor
! Expected: See all underlay neighbors

show ipv6 pim rp mapping
! Expected:
! RP: 2001:db8:abc1:0::1, static

! Test multicast connectivity
! On Control Plane node:
show lisp site
! Expected: Sites should register successfully (uses multicast for map-notify)

│    1. Verify WLC management IPv6                                  │
│       WLC# show interface summary                                 │

│    2. Check CAPWAP tunnel (AP ↔ WLC)                              │
│       WLC# show capwap client                                     │

│    3. Verify WLAN fabric mode enabled                             │
│       WLC# show wlan summary                                      │

│    4. Check VXLAN tunnel (WLC ↔ Fabric Edge)                      │
│       Edge# show nve peers                                        │
