Configuring the Summit WM Controller
Configuring for Remote Access
In addition, the first-time setup also involves configuring for remote access, which includes:
Setting up an administration station (laptop) on subnet 192.168.10.0/24. By default, the controller's
●
interface is configured with static IP 192.168.10.1.
Configuring the system management interface.
●
Configuring the data interfaces.
●
Set up the Summit WM Controller on the network by configuring the physical data ports and their
function as "host port", "router port", or "3rd party AP port".
Configure the routing table.
●
Configure static routes or OSPF parameters for any port defined as a router port, if appropriate to
the network.

Step 5 – Configuring the WM-AD
Research and then configure the traffic topologies your network must support. Set up one or more
virtual subnetworks on the Summit WM Controller. For each WM-AD, configure the following:
Topology – Configure the WM-AD.
●
RF – Assign the Wireless APs' radios to the WM-AD.
●
Authentication and Accounting – Configure the authentication method for the wireless device user
●
and enable the accounting method. The authentication and accounting configuration is optional. It
only applies to Captive Portal or AAA WM-ADs.
RAD Policy – Define filter ID values and WM-AD Groups. This configuration is optional.
●
Filtering – Define filtering rules to control network access
●
Multicast – Define groups of IP addresses for multicast traffic. This configuration is optional. By
●
default, the multicast feature is disabled.
Privacy – Select and configure the wireless security method on the WM-AD.
●
QoS Policy – Configure the Qos Policy.
●

Step 6 – Registering and assigning APs to the WM-AD
Deploy Wireless APs to their corresponding network locations. Connect the Wireless APs to the Summit
WM Controller. Once the Wireless APs are powered on, they automatically begin the Discovery process
of the Summit WM Controller, based on factors that include:
Their Registration mode (in the Wireless AP Registration screen)
●
The enterprise network services that will support the discovery process
●
The default AP configuration allows for a definition of a default configuration template, whereby APs
automatically receive complete configuration. For typical deployments where all APs are to all have
same configuration, this feature will expedite deployment, as an AP will automatically receive full
configuration (including WM-AD assignment) upon initial registration with the Summit WM Controller.
If applicable, modify the properties or settings of the Wireless APs.
