Configuring The Supervisor; Using The Wireless Lan Controller Network Module - Cisco SD2008T-NA Configuration Manual

Chapter 4 Configuring Controller SettingsWireless Device Access

Configuring the Supervisor

Log into the switch CLI and, beginning in Privileged Exec mode, follow these steps to configure the
supervisor to support the WiSM:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 interface vlan
Step 3 ip address ip-address gateway
Step 4
ip helper-address ip-address
Step 5 end
Step 6 wism module module_number
controller {1 | 2}
allowed-vlan vlan_number
Step 7
wism module module_number
controller {1 | 2}
native-vlan vlan_number
Step 8 interface vlan
Step 9
ip address ip-address gateway
Step 10
end
Step 11 wism service-vlan vlan
Step 12 end
Step 13 show wism status

Using the Wireless LAN Controller Network Module

Keep these guidelines in mind when using a wireless LAN controller network module (CNM) installed
in a Cisco Integrated Services Router:

The controller network module does not support IPSec. To use IPSec with the CNM, configure
IPSec on the router in which the CNM is installed. Click this link to browse to IPSec configuration
instructions for routers:

The controller network module does not have a battery and cannot save a time setting. It must receive
a time setting from an NTP server when it powers up. When you install the module the configuration
wizard prompts you for NTP server information.
Using the Wireless LAN Controller Network Module
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Create a VLAN to communicate with the data ports on the WiSM
and enter interface config mode.
Assign an IP address and gateway to the VLAN.
Assign a helper address to the VLAN.
Return to global config mode.
Create Gigabit port-channel interfaces automatically for the
specified WiSM controller and configure the port-channel
interfaces as trunk ports. Also, specify the VLAN you created
earlier as the allowed VLAN on the port-channel trunk. VLAN
traffic will be carried on the trunk between the WiSM controller
and the supervisor.
For the native VLAN on the ports, specify the VLAN that you
created earlier to communicate with the WiSM data ports.
Create a VLAN to communicate with the service ports on the
WiSM.
Assign an IP address and gateway to the VLAN.
Return to global config mode.
Configure the VLAN that you created in steps 8 through 10 to
communicate with the WiSM service ports.
Return to global config mode.
Verify that the WiSM is operational.
