Zero-Touch Provisioning and Ongoing Management
Most customers employ the Xirrus Management System (XMS) for the initial setup and
continuing management of Riverbed devices. XMS users can readily set up their new devices
for zero-touch provisioning and ongoing maintenance via the following platforms. Wait five
minutes after powering up the AP to automatically discover it, then use XMS to view and
manage it. Newly discovered APs are automatically assigned to your specified profile, if any,
else to the XMS default profile. APs will receive the configuration defined for their profile.
XMS-Cloud—performs zero-touch provisioning. Your new APs appear in XMS even before
you receive your equipment. When the email arrives with your login information, use XMS-
Cloud to specify the initial settings for your APs. A Guided Tour will walk you through the
basic steps of creating a profile containing configuration settings, including creating SSIDs
and firewall/application control rules. Once the installed AP has Internet connectivity, it
will automatically contact Riverbed for cloud-based zero-touch provisioning per your
settings, install the latest applicable license, and upgrade the AP to the latest software
version as appropriate.
XMS-Enterprise—automatically detects and provisions new Riverbed devices deployed in
your network via a similar zero-touch provisioning approach. Create and configure a
default profile for newly added APs—these new devices will automatically receive the
configuration defined in your default profile.
If you are not using XMS, please see the
Riverbed Wireless Access Point User's Guide for AOS
to
configure your AP manually via the Express Setup menu option. The User Guide is
