Single Controller Configuration with Basic Profile Group
A basic configuration consists of a single wireless controller that controls a collection of
access points that are organized into the basic default group.
To set up a single wireless controller system with a basic profile group:
WPA2
AES or TKIP+AES
One of the following authentication servers:
• External RADIUS server
• Internal authentication server
• External LDAP server
WPA and WPA2
TKIP+AES
One of the following authentication servers:
• External RADIUS server
• Internal authentication server
• External LDAP server
Step
Configuration
Web management interface path
1.
Optional: Create an RF plan.
Plans > Layout
2.
If you have not yet done so, configure the system settings of the
wireless controller:
1.
Configure the country code of operation.
Configuration > System > General
2.
Configure the IP address of wireless controller.
Configuration > System > IP/VLAN
3.
Verify that VLAN 1 is set as the management VLAN and is
marked as untagged, which is the default setting.
3.
Configure up to 8 profiles, and for each profile, do at least the
following:
1.
Configure an SSID for wireless access.
Configuration > Profile > Basic
2.
Configure the network authentication and data encryption.
3.
Assign the VLAN.
If required, configure the authentication server.
Configuration > Security > Basic >
Authentication Server
4.
Run the Discovery Wizard and add the access points to the
managed access point list.
