Set Up Using a WLSE Configuration Template
You can perform initial configuration on access points by using the WLSE’s
startup template feature. Startup configuration works in conjunction with a DHCP
server. The access points get their IP addresses from the DHCP server. If you
prefer static IP addressing, you can either configure the DHCP server like a
BOOTP server (using MAC address-to-IP address mapping) or configure the
static IP address individually on each access point afterwards.
For information on using a startup template, see the online help or the “Managing
Device Configuration” chapter in the
User Guide for the CiscoWorks Wireless
LAN Solution Engine, Release 2.7
