Install the C-130E
This chapter contains the step wise procedure to install the C-130E device.
Zero-Configuration of C-130E as Access Point
Zero-configuration is supported under the following conditions:
• The device is in AP mode with background scanning on and no SSID configured.
• A DNS entry wifi-security-server is set up on all the DNS servers. This entry should point to the IP address
of the server. By default, the AP looks for the DNS entry wifi-security-server.
• The AP is on a subnet that is DHCP enabled.
Important: If the device is placed on a network segment that is separated from the server by a firewall,
you must first open port 3851 for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transport Control Protocol (TCP)
bidirectional traffic on that firewall. This port number is assigned to Arista Networks. If multiple devices
are set up to connect to multiple servers, zero-configuration is not possible. In this case, you must manually
configure the APs. See the Access Point Configuration Guide on our website at
https://www.arista.com/en/support/product-documentation
.
Take a configured AP; that is, ensure that a static IP is assigned to the AP or the settings have been changed for
DHCP. Note down the MAC address and the IP address of the AP in a safe place before it is installed in a
hard-to-reach location. The MAC address of the AP is printed on a label at the bottom of the product.

Important: To prevent disconnection or tampering by unauthorized personnel, it is extremely important
to install the device such that it is difficult to unplug the device from the network or from the power outlet.
Note: You should label the devices using MAC addresses or at least your own convention. For example,
use serial numbers, so that you can easily identify the devices.
