Step Configuration
4.
Configure the following profiles, and configure network
authentication and data encryption for these profiles:
1.
A profile with SSID 1 and VLAN 10.
2.
A profile with SSID 2 and VLAN 20.
3.
If necessary for the selected network authentication options,
configure one or more authentication servers.
5.
Connect the wireless controller to the PoE switch.
6.
Before you connect the access points to the PoE switch, verify
that the switch ports to which you intend to connect the access
points are configured as access ports in management VLAN 100.
7.
Deploy the access points and connect them to the designated
PoE switch ports.
8.
When the access points are operating, open the Discovery
Wizard to do the following:
1.
Specify the state of the access points, which is factory default
in a Layer 2 network.
2.
Run the Discovery Wizard.
3.
Select the access points that you want the wireless controller to
manage and add them to the managed list.
Note:
By adding the access points to managed list, you enable
them to receive an IP address from the DHCP server over
management VLAN 100.
9.
For each access point on the managed list, disable the untagged
VLAN and configure VLAN 100 as the management VLAN. Doing
so causes the access points to lose connectivity with the wireless
controller.
10.
Restore connectivity between the access points and the wireless
controller by changing the PoE switch ports to which the access
points are connected to tagged ports.
During the discovery process, these switch ports were access
ports in management VLAN 100.
Scenario Example 3: Advanced Network With Redundancy
The following sample scenario consists of an advanced network with one wireless controller,
one redundant wireless controller
access points, and several VLANs and SSIDs. These are the components in the wireless
controller system:
•
One wireless controller
•
Fifty access points (managed by the wireless controller through management VLAN 1)
1. Model WC7500 does not support controller redundancy.
