Step 1 |
Connect your PC to the service port and configure an IPv4 address to use the same subnet as the switch. The switch is loaded with IOS XE image and the service port interface is configured as gigabitethernet 0/0. |
Step 2 |
Start Internet Explorer 10 (or later), Firefox 2.0.0.11 (or later), or Google Chrome on your PC and enter the management interface IP address on the browser window. The management interface IP address is same as the gigabitethernet 0/0 (also known as service port interface). When you log in for the first time, you need to enter HTTP username and password. By default, the username is admin and the password is cisco. You can use both HTTP and HTTPS when using the service port interface. HTTPS is enabled by default and HTTP can also be enabled. When you log in for the first time, the <Model Number> <Hostname> page appears. |
Step 3 |
On the page, click the Wireless Web GUI link to access switch web GUI Home page. |
Step 4 |
Choose to perform all steps that you need to configure the switch initially. The Admin Users page appears. |
Step 5 |
On the Admin Users page, enter the administrative username to be assigned to this switch in the User Name text box and the administrative password to be assigned to this switch in the Password and Confirm Password text boxes. Click Next. The default username is admin and the default password is cisco. You can also create a new administrator user for the switch. You can enter up to 24 ASCII characters for username and password. The SNMP System Summary page appears. |
Step 6 |
On the SNMP System Summary page, enter the following SNMP system parameters for the switch, and click Next:
-

-
Choose enabled to send SNMP notifications for various SNMP traps or disabled not to send SNMP notifications for various SNMP traps from the SNMP Global Trap drop-down list.
-
Choose enabled to send system log messages or disabled not to send system log messages from the SNMP Logging drop-down list.
Note |
The SNMP trap server, must be reachable through the distribution ports (and not through the gigabitethernet0/0 service or management interface). |
The Management Port page appears. |
Step 7 |
In the Management Port page, enter the following parameters for the management port interface (gigabitethernet 0/0) and click Next.
-
Interface IP address that you assigned for the service port in the IP Address text box.
-
Network mask address of the management port interface in the Netmask text box.
-
The IPv4 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) address for the selected port in the IPv4 DHCP Server text box.
The Wireless Management page appears. |
Step 8 |
In the Wireless Management page, enter the following wireless interface management details, and click Next.
-
Choose the interface—VLAN, or Ten Gigabit Ethernet from the Select Interface drop-down list.
-
VLAN tag identifier, or 0 for no VLAN tag in the VLAN id text box.
-
IP address of wireless management interface where access points are connected in the IP Address text box.
-
Network mask address of the wireless management interface in the Netmask text box.
-
DHCP IPv4 IP address in the IPv4 DHCP Server text box.
When selecting VLAN as interface, you can specify the ports as –Trunk or Access ports from the selected list displayed in the Switch Port Configuration text box. The RF Mobility and Country Code page appears. |
Step 9 |
In the RF Mobility and Country Code page, enter the RF mobility domain name in the RF Mobility text box, choose current country code from the Country Code drop-down list, and click Next. From the GUI, you can select only one country code.
Note |
Before configuring RF grouping parameters and mobility configuration, ensure that you refer to the relevant conceptual content and then proceed with the configuration. |
The Mobility Configuration page with mobility global configuration settings appears. |
Step 10 |
In the Mobility Configuration page, view and enter the following mobility global configuration settings, and click Next.
-
Choose
Mobility Controller or
Mobility Agent from the Mobility Role drop-down list:
-
If Mobility Agent is chosen, enter the mobility controller IP address in the Mobility Controller IP Address text box and mobility controller IP address in the Mobility Controller Public IP Address text box.
-
If Mobility Controller is chosen, then the mobility controller IP address and mobility controller public IP address are displayed in the respective text boxes.
-
Displays mobility protocol port number in the Mobility Protocol Port text box.
-
Displays the mobility switch peer group name in the Mobility Switch Peer Group Name text box.
-
Displays whether DTLS is enabled in the DTLS Mode text box. DTLS is a standards-track Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) protocol based on TLS.
-
Displays mobility domain identifier for 802.11 radios in the Mobility Domain ID for 802.11 radios text box.
-
The amount of time (in seconds) between each ping request sent to an peer switch in the Mobility Keepalive Interval (1-30)sec text box. Valid range is from 1 to 30 seconds, and the default value is 10 seconds.
-
Number of times a ping request is sent to an peer switch before the peer is considered to be unreachable in the Mobility Keepalive Count (3-20) text box. The valid range is from 3 to 20, and the default value is 3.
-
The DSCP value that you can set for the mobility switch in the Mobility Control Message DSCP Value (0-63) text box. The valid range is 0 to 63, and the default value is 0.
-
Displays the number of mobility switch peer group member configured in the Switch Peer Group Members Configured text box.
The WLANs page appears. |
Step 11 |
In the WLANs page, enter the following WLAN configuration parameters, and click Next.
-
WLAN identifier in the WLAN ID text box.
-
SSID of the WLAN that the client is associated with in the SSID text box.
-
Name of the WLAN used by the client in the Profile Name text box.
The 802.11 Configuration page appears. |
Step 12 |
In the 802.11 Configuration page, check either one or both 802.11a/n/ac and 802.11b/g/n check boxes to enable the 802.11 radios, and click Next. The Set Time page appears. |
Step 13 |
In the Set Time page, you can configure the time and date on the switch based on the following parameters, and click Next.
-
Displays current timestamp on the switch in the Current Time text box.
-

The Save Wizard page appears. |
Step 14 |
In the Save Wizard page, you can review the configuration settings performed on the switch using these steps, and if you wish to change any configuration value, click Previous and navigate to that page. You can save the switch configuration created using the wizard only if a success message is displayed for all the wizards. If the Save Wizard page displays errors, you must recreate the wizard for initial configuration of the switch. |
