Cisco Flex 7500 Series Wireless Controller Installation Guide
Chapter 1 Cisco Flex 7500 Series Wireless Controller Installation Guide
Using the Startup Wizard
Note
The AutoInstall feature downloads a configuration file from a TFTP server and then loads the
configuration onto the controller automatically.
Step 2
Enter the system name, which is the name you want to assign to the controller. You can enter up to
31 ASCII characters.
System Name [Cisco_d9:3d:66] (31 characters max):
AUTO-INSTALL: no interfaces registered.
AUTO-INSTALL: process terminated -- no configuration loaded
Step 3
Enter the administrative username and password to be assigned to this controller. You can enter up to 24
ASCII characters for each.
Enter Administrative User Name (24 characters max): admin
Enter Administrative Password (3 to 24 characters): ******
Re-enter Administrative Password : ******
Step 4
If you want the controller’s service-port interface to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, enter
DHCP
. If you do not want to use the service port or if you want to assign a static IP address to the
service-port interface, enter
static
.
Service Interface IP Address Configuration [static][DHCP]: static
Note
The
service-port interface
controls communications through the service port. Its IP address must
be on a different subnet from the management interface. This configuration enables you to
manage the controller directly or through a dedicated management network to ensure service
access during network downtime.
The service port works with auto-negotiation and in full duplex mode only. The other device such as
switch and access point that communicates with the controller must be set to full duplex and
auto-negotiation mode.
You can use the command
show interface detailed service-port
to check all the service port interface
parameters on the controller.
Step 5
If you entered
static
in
Step 4
, enter the IP address and netmask for the service-port interface on the next
two lines.
Service Interface IP Address: 172.19.30.18
Service Interface Netmask: 255.255.254.0
Step 6
Enter the IP address, netmask, default router IP address, optional VLAN identifier (a valid VLAN
identifier or 0 for an untagged VLAN), and the port number for the management interface.
Note
The VLAN identifier should be set to match the switch interface configuration.
Management Interface IP Address: 192.168.1.10
Management Interface Netmask: 255.255.0.0
Management Interface Default Router: 192.168.1.1
Management Interface VLAN Identifier (0 = untagged): 192
Management Interface Port Num [1 to 2]: 1
