Cisco 2100 Wireless LAN Controller - WAN AP's

I am trying to get a WAP to join the WLC across the WAN.  It is lightweight and it is a Cisco 1130.  I have tried using option 43 a couple different ways

option 43 ascii "10.90.32.10" and option 43 ascii "type + length + value"

I have also tried option 60 in conjunction with this.

How do you get a WAP to join the controller across a WAN?  It is not very feasible for us to bring all the way back to seed them as the buildings can be hours apart.  These are also production WAP's.

Has anyone had success with this before?

i have tried to option 43 hex also.  No go.

I am still able to ping the AP on the old ip it had before taking it to lightweight.  I am thinking that is why the dhcp options arent working now.  But there is nothing I can do now to force it to grab dhcp since I cannot getinto it through ssh.
How do you get the lightweight access points to use the DNS?  Is it through the dns servers givne out through dhcp?

Hi,

Please post your full dhcp configuration.
ip dhcp pool data
   network 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0
   default-router 1.1.1.1
   dns-server 10.10.10.80 10.10.20.80
   domain-name chcsga.local
   option 156 ascii "ftpservers=10.25.36.80, country=1, language=1, layer2tagging=1, vlanid=93"
   option 43 hex f104.0a5a.200a
   option 60 ascii "Cisco AP c1130"


IPs are changed here to example IPs.
ok i got the dhcp to work in another building.  looks like i will have to reset to factory defaults on the one having issues to get it to grab dhcp.

Anyone have any ideas without having to drive 3 hours that I can get this ap to grab dhcp?

I didnt use the dots when configuring.  The router put them there after I configured those options on dhcp.

Thanks everyone for the help.  The dhcp options are working now.
