Activating WLANs

After you have completely configured your WLAN settings, enter config wlan enable wlan-id to
activate the WLAN.

Configuring DHCP

WLANs can be configured to use the same or different DHCP servers or no DHCP server. Two types of
DHCP servers are available: internal and external.
When using the Layer 3 LWAPP mode, you should configure the management and AP-manager
Note
interfaces to be on the same subnet so that access points can join the controller.

Internal DHCP Server

The controllers contain an internal DHCP server. This server is typically used in branch offices that do
not already have a DHCP server. The wireless network generally contains 10 access points or fewer, with
the access points on the same IP subnet as the controller. The internal server provides DHCP addresses
to wireless clients, direct-connect access points, appliance-mode access points on the management
interface, and DHCP requests that are relayed from access points. Only lightweight access points are
supported.

For release 4.0.206.0 and greater , the command format is expanded to allow support for multiple
WLANs with the same SSID. To distinguish between the two WLANs, a unique profile name is
added. The definition of the profile name is added to the command as follows: config wlan
create wlan_id profile_name ssid. If you do not specify an ssid the profile_name parameter is
used for both the profile name and the SSID. Refer to the
the Same SSID" section on page 6-30
When WLAN 1 is created in the configuration wizard, it is created in enabled mode; disable it
until you have finished configuring it. When you create a new WLAN using the config wlan
create command, it is created in disabled mode; leave it disabled until you have finished
configuring it.
Enter config wlan disable wlan-id to disable a WLAN, before making any modifications.
If the management and AP-manager interfaces are mapped to the same port and are members of
the same VLAN, you must disable the WLAN before making a port-mapping change to either
interface. If the management and AP-manager interfaces are assigned to different VLANs, you
do not need to disable the WLAN.
Enter config wlan enable wlan-id to enable a WLAN.
Enter config wlan delete wlan-id to delete a WLAN.
