Initial Configuration Steps - Aruba AP-80MB Installation Manual

Initial Configuration Steps

Setting the Country Code – Regulations for wireless products differ from country to country. Setting the
country code restricts the wireless bridge to use only the radio channels and power settings permitted in the
specified country of operation. If the wireless bridge unit is shipped with a preset country code, you are not
permitted to change it, as required by country regulations. If the unit is set to the default "99," you must set the
country code to the country of operation.
At the Exec prompt, type "country ?" to display the list of country codes. Check the code for your country, then
enter the country command again followed by your country code (e.g., IE for Ireland).

Setting the IP Address – By default, the wireless bridge is configured with the IP address 192.168.1.1. You
may also use the CLI to assign an IP address that is compatible with your network.
Type "configure" to enter configuration mode, then type "interface ethernet" to access the Ethernet
interface-configuration mode.
Aruba Networks AP-80MB #configure
Aruba Networks AP-80MB (config)#interface ethernet
Aruba Networks AP-80MB (config-if)#
Type "ip address ip-address netmask gateway," where "ip-address" is the wireless bridge's IP address,
"netmask" is the network mask for the network, and "gateway" is the default gateway router. Check with your
system administrator to obtain an IP address that is compatible with your network.
Aruba Networks AP-80MB (if-ethernet)#ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.254
Aruba Networks AP-80MB (if-ethernet)#
After configuring the wireless bridge's IP parameters, you can access the management interface from
anywhere within the attached network. The command line interface can also be accessed using Telnet from
any computer attached to the network.
