Provisioning the Wireless Controller
Step Configuration
1. For initial discovery and configuration of the access points,
temporarily configure management VLAN 100 as an untagged
management VLAN on both the wireless controller and the PoE
switch.
2. Configure the basic system settings:
1. Configure the country code of operation.
2. Configure the IP address of wireless controller.
3. Configure the management VLAN as VLAN 100.
4. Clear the Untagged Vlan check box. This changes VLAN 1
to a tagged VLAN.
3. Add a DHCP server that uses VLAN 100:
1. Configure the IP address range for VLAN 100.
2. Configure the other DHCP server fields, including the
gateway and DNS servers.
4. Configure the following profiles, and configure network
authentication and data encryption for these profiles:
1. A profile with SSID 1 and VLAN 10.
2. A profile with SSID 2 and VLAN 20.
5. Connect the wireless controller to the PoE switch.
6. Before you connect the access points to the PoE switch, verify
that the switch ports to which you intend to connect the access
points are configured as access ports in management VLAN 100.
7. Deploy the access points and connect them to the designated
PoE switch ports.
8. Wait until the access points are up and running, run the Discovery
Wizard, specify the network layout by selecting the Same L2
network radio button, and select the access points that you want to
be managed by the wireless controller.
Note: By adding the access points to managed list, you enable
them to receive an IP address from the DHCP server over
management VLAN 100.
