Step 3 – Installing the hardware
Install the HiPath Wireless Controller C10/C100/C1000. For more information, see the HiPath
Wireless Controller, Access Points and Convergence Software Controller C10/C100/C1000
Installation Instructions.
Install the HiPath Wireless Controller C2400. For more information, see the HiPath Wireless
Controller, Access Points and Convergence Software Controller C2400 Installation
Instructions.
Step 4 – Performing the first-time setup
Perform the first-time Setup of the HiPath Wireless Controller on the physical network, which
includes configuring the physical port IP:
Configure the default IP address to be the relevant subnet point of attachment to the
●
existing network. The default IP address is 10.0.#.1.
Setup the routing protocol table.
●
To configure a physical port to attach to a VLAN, define the VLAN as part of the IP address
●
assignment.
Applying the product license key
Apply a product license key file. If a product license key is not applied, the HiPath Wireless
Controller functions with some features enabled in demonstration mode. Not all features are
enabled in demonstration mode. For example, mobility is not enabled and cannot be used.
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 192.168.1.x/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 HiPath Wireless 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.
For more information, see Section 4.2, "Performing the first-time setup of the HiPath Wireless
Controller", on page 47.
