1.4 Wireless
Configuration
You configure and monitor all wireless settings from the WLAN tab on the navigation
panel. Since the deployment is an L2 Edge and there are no subnet boundaries to cross,
the switch can use the network management IP address for the wireless functions (
Note:
the wireless switch component uses an IP address to manage the APs and peer-switches.
In a L2 environment like this scenario no inter-subnet routing is required. If however
the scenario involves a L3 environment where wireless components including APs and
peer-switches cross subnet boundaries, a routing interface must be used, such as a
loopback interface to allow routing of control traffic between the Wireless switch and
APs and peer switches.)
It is important to set the correct country code on the switch so that the APs operate in
the correct regulatory domain.
1. To configure wireless features, select the
WLAN
tab from the left pane and
traverse down the navigation tree to
Administration
Æ
Basic Setup
.
2. Select the Global tab in the right pane and make sure
Wireless Switch
Mode
is
enabled
3. Select the appropriate country code then click the
Submit
to submit the request.
Note:
This scenario uses the default AP profile configuration, so you do not need to
configure any AAA/RADIUS, Radio, or SSID settings.
Note:
The IP address on the Wireless Global Configuration page is the default
management IP address of the switch (10.90.90.90). This address is “chosen” by the
system for use by the Wireless component for communications with the APs and Peer
Switches. If a loopback interface is available, this will be selected first.
