Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless
Use this procedure to configure the Wireless Controller (WC) 8180 using the Avaya command line
interface (CLI).
Note:
This section describes the configuration of various WLAN features such as DiffServ, Client Band
Steering, Station Isolation, Auto-RF, Client Load Balancing, Wi-Fi Zoning, LLDP support on AP,
Bonjour Gateway support, LED management on a domain AP database and Remote Packet
Capture using the CLI. It also describes how to enable support for third-party real-time location
systems such as AeroScout and Ekahau.
For more information on the WLAN supported features, see:
• The Feature Overview for Avaya WLAN 8100, NN47251-102.
• The ACLI Commands Reference for Avaya WLAN 8100, NN47251-107, for a complete list
of configuration commands for each of the features.
Before you begin
• Ensure that you complete the preliminary controller configuration using the CLI. See
Completing preliminary controller configuration
Procedure
1. Physically connect Access Points (AP) to the network.
Note:
The AP 8120 is powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE). You can connect a PoE switch
or an external power injector to the AP.
2. Configure the DHCP server for AP discovery.
The AP 8120discovers the controller IP addresses using DHCP option 43 or DNS.
This example uses the DHCP option 43. The Option 43 setting must be 08 08 41 56 41
59 41 20 41 50 01 04 14 14 14 2D, where 14 14 14 2D is the HEX representation
of the controller IP 20.20.20.45. For details on how to configure the DHCP server, see
DHCP server configuration for access points
