Configuring a 3500 series Access Point as an OfficeExtend Access Point

There are a couple of great how-to guides for configuring Office Extend APs on the web. Once upon a time, documentation for the OfficeExtend feature was a rarity. Back then the only guidance was from this great post from Blake: Cisco OfficeExtend AP600. Now we have the config guide from Cisco: Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point Configuration Guide

I used
Blake's post about OfficeExtend when I setting up my first OfficeExtend access points, since the configuration guide from Cisco didn't exist at the time. Today, I made a quick little video showing how and where the configuration changes are made. I also included how to see what your AP has configured for the controller name and IP address it is going to look for when the AP is powered on.
