Both tunnels start at the thin AP.
The Thin AP has zero configurations in its initial state. During its power-on stage, it firstly discovers the WLC by DHCP
protocol and obtains up to 4 WLC IP addresses settled in DHCP Option 43, and then uses the first WLC IP address to
establish the primary CAPWAP tunnel, and the others as the redundant WLC purpose. Then, thin AP downloads the
profiles from the WLC through the CAPWAP tunnel to complete its configuration; while user clients associate to thin AP
and start authentication and data services through WLTP tunnel.
The 1’st internet service initiated by user client through WLTP data tunnel will be intercepted by WLC to check whether
it is an legal user, if not, this accessing will be redirected to the Captive Portal where the user name and password input
and then authenticated by Radius server.

There are two configuration modes for WLC management: one is the CLI (Command Line Interface) mode which is
entered by SSH, Telnet and RS232 serial console accessing; another is the web mode which is entered by using browser
to access the management web page for provisioning.
The Web provisioning mode (HTTP/HTTPS) is a user-friendly management method and can be accessed by using any
standard Web browsing software, like Internet Explorer or Chrome. The Web interface simplifies system management
and configuration, even if the administrator is a junior engineer. The CLI mode, however, is for the advanced customer
and can be entered by SSH, Telnet, and the RS-232 console accessing. More knowledge about network communication
protocols and command instructions are required to effectively configure and manage the WLC through the CLI mode.
The following section will briefly explain how to connect WLC for its configuration and management:
•
Ethernet Connection
：
Configuration host connects to the WLC Mgmt port over Ethernet cable.
• RS232 Serial Connection
：
Configuration host connects to the WLC console port over RJ45-RS232 serial cable. The
console port serial baud rate is 38400 .

The following default IP addresses are preset in the WLC:
•
The default management IP address of the WLC through the Mgmt port is 192.168.2.228 . The host PC or
notebook must be assigned with an IP address in the same subnet, for example, 192.168.2.100 .
•
The default service IP address of the WLC through the VIF port is 192.168.3.228 . The host PC or notebook must be
assigned with an IP address in the same subnet, for example, 192.168.3.100 .
Software tools which support SSH, Telnet and Serial communications, such as SecureCRT , XShell , or PuTTY, can be
