This document describes how to do the following:

Use the 

quickstart

 command to perform basic 

system configuration of a Wireless LAN switch (WX) 
running Mobility System Software Version 3.0.

Configure a Mobility Domain for roaming. 

Open the sample 3WXM network plan 

3ComStarterExample

, which contains the configura-

tion values used in the CLI examples. You can use the 
network plan to build on the configuration, if you do 
not want to continue to use the CLI.

What Does the quickstart Command Configure?

The 

quickstart

 command runs a script that interactively 

helps you configure the following items:

System name

Country code (regulatory domain)

System IP address

Default route

Administrative users and passwords

System time and date parameters

Unencrypted (clear) SSID names

Usernames and passwords for guest access using 
Web AAA

Encrypted (crypto) SSID names and dynamic WEP 
encryption for encrypted SSIDs’ wireless traffic

Usernames and passwords for secure access using 
802.1X authentication using PEAP-MSCHAPv2 and 
secure wireless data encryption using dynamic Wired 
Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

Managed Access Points (MAPs) that are directly con-
nected to WX switches

Distributed MAPs, which are connected to WX 
switches through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 
network

The 

quickstart

 command displays a prompt for each of 

these items, and lists the default if applicable. You can 
advance to the next item, and accept the default if 
applicable, by pressing Enter.

Depending on your input, the command also automati-
cally generates the following key pairs and self-signed 
certificates:

SSH key pair (always generated)

Admin key pair and self-signed certificate (always 
generated)
