• Local TFTP server (required for downloading operating system software updates). Cisco uses an integral TFTP server. This means that third-party TFTP servers cannot run on the same workstation as the Cisco WCS because Cisco WCS and third-party TFTP servers use the same communication port. Initial System Configuration Information Obtain the following initial configuration parameters from your wireless LAN or network administrator: • A system (controller name), such as controller. The system name can contain up to 32 printable ASCII characters. • An administrative username and password, which can contain up to 24 printable ASCII characters. Note You must enter a username and password and the configured username and password cannot be the same. • A management interface (DS Port or network interface port) IP address, such as 10.40.0.4. • A management interface netmask address, such as 255.255.255.0. • A management interface default router IP address, such as 10.40.0.5. • A VLAN identifier if the management interface is assigned to a VLAN, such as 40 or 0 for an untagged VLAN. • A management interface port, such as 1. • A management interface DHCP server IP address, such as 10.40.0.6 (the IP address of the default DHCP server that will supply IP addresses to clients and the management interface. • A virtual gateway IP address (a fictitious, unassigned IP address, such as 1.1.1.1, used by all Cisco wireless controller Layer 3 security and mobility managers). • A Cisco wireless controller mobility or RF group name, such as rfgrp40 if required.
