Alternate Preparing a Version 2.0 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231)
tially back and forth for more than five minutes, the AP is unable to find its Primary WLAN Security Switch (2270).
Check the connection between the AP and the WLAN Security Switch (2270), and make sure the AP and the WLAN
Security Switch (2270) are either on the same subnet or that the AP has a route back to its Primary WLAN Security
Switch (2270). Also, if the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/2231) is not on the same subnet as the WLAN
Security Switch (2270), make sure there is a DHCP server on the same subnet as the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access
Port (2230/2231).
After you have prepared all WLAN Access Ports (2230/2231), reconfigure the WLAN Security Switch (2270) so it is not the
Master. A Master WLAN Security Switch (2270) should only be used for configuring WLAN Access Ports (2230/2231) and not in
a working network.
After completing
Step 2: Configuring the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) Before Installation
for all WLAN Access Ports (2230/
2231), continue with
Step 3: Preparing Mounting Locations

lternate Preparing a Version 2.0 Nortel Netw ork s WLAN - Access Port (22 30/22 31)
If your WLAN Access Port (2230/2231) has Operating System 2.0 or a later version loaded on it, you may choose to use this
procedure.
Note:
This procedure assumes that you are preparing a version 2.0 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Port (2230/
2231) to interoperate with a version 2.0 WLAN Security Switch (2270). It also assumes that your WLAN Security
Switch (2270) is already operating in
LWAPP Layer 3 Mode
. It also assumes that you are using the Internet
Software Consortium (ISC) DHCP Server V3.0pl1. Finally, it assumes that if you have deployed multiple WLAN
Security Switches (2270), that the WLAN Security Switch (2270) you use to initialize the WLAN Access Port (2230/
2231) is in an Nortel Networks Mobility Group with the Primary WLAN Security Switch (2270) you want to assign to
the new WLAN Access Port (2230/2231).

Configure the Internet Software Consortium (ISC) V3.0pl1 DHCP Server to provide the vendor-specific Option 43
using the following entries:
option nortel-controller code 43 = text;
option nortel-controller “Nortel-Controller: <Switch IP Address>”;
in which
<Switch IP Address>
is the IP address of the WLAN Security Switch (2270) you are going to use to
prepare the WLAN Access Port (2230/2231).
