Chapter 6: Configuring the Wireless
Use this procedure to configure the Wireless Controller (WC) 8180 using the WLAN Management
System (WMS) 8100 software.
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, LED management on
a domain AP database, LLDP support, Bonjour Gateway support, and Remote Packet Capture
using the WMS. It also describes enabling support for third-party Real Time Location Systems
(RTLS) such as AeroScout and Ekahau.
For more information on the WLAN supported features, see:
• The Feature Overview for Avaya WLAN 8100, NN47251-102.
• The Using WMS and EDM on Avaya WLAN 8100, NN47251-108, for a list of configuration
procedures to configure the various WLAN features using the WMS.
Before you begin
• Obtain a license for the WMS software. To obtain a license from the Avaya Data Licensing
portal, see Obtaining licenses from the Avaya Data Licensing portal
• Install the WMS software. For more information, see
software on page 110.
• Complete preliminary controller configuration (WC 8180) using the command line interface
(CLI). See Completing preliminary controller configuration
before you can configure the controller using the WMS.
• Ensure that the WMS has network connectivity to the controller.
Procedure
1. Connect to the WMS 8100 graphical user interface (GUI). On a browser instance, enter the
WMS server IP address in the address bar.
Note:
The WMS server IP address is the IP address of the machine where you installed the
WMS. You can also use a loopback IP address if you launch the browser from the same
machine where you installed the WMS.
The following figure shows that the WMS is installed on a machine with IP address
47.80.251.139, and the WMS server is using the default port.
