Configuring the HiPath Wireless Controller
Performing the first-time setup of the HiPath Wireless Controller
Subnet mask – The appropriate subnet mask for the IP address, which separates the
●
network portion from the host portion of the address (typically 255.255.255.0).
MTU – The Maximum Transmission Unit or maximum packet size for this port. The
●
default setting is 1500. If you change this setting and are using OSPF, be sure that the
MTU of each port in the OSPF link matches.
If the routed connection to an AP traverses a link that imposes a lower MTU than
>
the default 1500 bytes, the HiPath Wireless Controller and AP both participate
in MTU discovery to automatically learn the correct MTU and adjust their
settings accordingly. At the HiPath Wireless Controller, MTU adjustments are
tracked on a per AP basis.
5. Select a Function from the drop-down list:
Host Port – Specifies a port for connecting Wireless APs, with no dynamic routing.
●
Third-Party AP Port – Specifies a port to which you will connect third-party access
●
points.
Router Port – Specifies a port that you want to connect to an upstream, next-hop
●
router in the network.
For OSPF routing on a port, the port must be configured as a router port. Only
>
one port should be configured as a router port.
6. To enable management traffic, select the Mgmt checkbox. Enabling management provides
access to SNMP (v2, get), SSH, and HTTPs management interfaces.
This option does not override the built-in protection filters on the port.
>
The built-in protection filters for the port, which are restrictive in the types of
packets that are allowed to reach the management plane, are extended with a
set of definitions that allow for access to system management services through
that interface (SSH, SNMP, HTTPS:5825).
7. To enable the SLP protocol, select the SLP checkbox.
Wireless APs use this port for discovery and registration. Other controllers can use this
port to enable inter-controller device mobility if this port is configured to use SLP or the
HiPath Wireless Controller is running as a manager and SLP is the discovery protocol used
by the agents.
8. To allow Multicast Support, select Enabled from the drop-down list.
9. To save your changes, click Save.
