Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to an address processing method, a gateway device, and an access point. An access point sends a request message to a gateway device. The access point obtains an address of an access controller from the gateway device. The address of the access controller is an address of an access controller selected by the gateway device. The access point establishes a CAPWAP tunnel with the access controller selected by the gateway device.
