SCP Required Settings in Templates
Supporting Multiple Radio Types via a Single IOS Template
Configuring Single and Dual-Radio APs via a Single IOS Template
Applying Startup-config Files
Each of the APs in the Group copies its unique startup-config file from AirWave via TFTP or SCP.
If the Reboot Devices after Configuration Changes option is selected, then AirWave instructs the AP to copy
the configuration from AirWave to the startup-config file of the AP and reboot the AP.
If the Reboot Devices after Configuration Changes option is not selected, then AirWave instructs the AP to
copy the configuration to the startup-config file and then tell the AP to copy the startup config file to the
running-config file. Use the reboot option when possible. Copying the configuration from startup to running
merges the two configurations and can cause undesired configuration lines to remain active on the AP.
WDS Settings in Templates
A group template supports Cisco WDS settings. APs functioning in a WDS environment communicate with the
Cisco WLSE via a WDS master. IOS APs can function in Master or Slave mode. Slave APs report their rogue
findings to the WDS Master (AP or WLSM which reports the data back to the WLSE. On the APs/Devices >
Manage configuration page, select the proper role for the AP in the WDS Role drop down menu.
The following example sets an AP as a WDS Slave with the following lines:
%if wds_role=client%
wlccp ap username wlse password 7 XXXXXXXXXX
%endif%
The following example sets an AP as a WDS Master with the following lines:
%if wds_role=master%
aaa authentication login method_wds group wds
aaa group server radius wds server
10.2.25.162 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
wlccp authentication-server infrastructure method_wds
wlccp wds priority 200 interface BVI1
wlccp ap username wlse password 7 095B421A1C
%endif%
The following example sets an AP as a WDS Master Backup with the following lines:
%if wds_role=backup%
aaa authentication login method_wds group wds
aaa group server radius wds server
10.2.25.162 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
wlccp authentication-server infrastructure method_wds
wlccp wds priority 250 interface BVI1
wlccp ap username wlse password 7 095B421A1C
%endif%
SCP Required Settings in Templates
A few things must be set up before enabling SCP on the Groups > Basic configuration page. The credentials
used by AirWave to login to the AP must have level 15 privileges. Without them AirWave is not able to
communicate with the AP via SCP. The line "
aaa authorization exec default local
" must be in the APs
NOTE: Changes made on the standard AirWave Group configuration pages, to include Basic, Radio, Security, VLANs, and so forth,
are not applied to any template-based APs.
