Wireless Switch Configuration Tasks

Once

 

the

 

wireless

 

switch

 

is

 

physically

 

installed

 

and

 

powered

 

on,

 

you

 

can

 

set

 

up

 

its

 

configuration.

 

This

 

section

 

describes

 

two

 

ways

 

to

 

configure

 

a

 

newly

installed

 

wireless

 

switch—using

 

the

 

quickstart

 

CLI

 

command

 

at

 

the

 

switch’s

 

serial

 

console

 

port,

 

and

 

remotely

 

configuring

 

the

 

switch

 

using

 

RoamAbout

 

Switch

 

Manager.

Using the CLI quickstart Command

You

 

can

 

use

 

the

 

quickstart

 

command

 

to

 

quickly

 

configure

 

a

 

new,

 

previously

 

unconfigured

 

wireless

 

switch.

 

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

Unencrypted

 

(clear)

 

SSID

 

names

Usernames

 

and

 

passwords

 

for

 

guest

 

access

 

using

 

WebAAA

Encrypted

 

(crypto)

 

SSID

 

names

 

and

 

dynamic

 

WEP

 

encryption

 

for

 

encrypted

 

SSIDs’

 

wireless

 

traffic
