• 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. An RF group name can contain up to 19 printable ASCII characters. • An 802.11 network name (SSID), such as wlan1. An SSID can contain up to 32 printable, case-sensitive ASCII characters. • DHCP bridging • Whether or not to allow static IP addresses from clients, either Yes or No. - Yes is more convenient, but has lower security (session can be hijacked). - No is less convenient, but has higher security and works well for Windows XP devices. 10

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. An RF group
name can contain up to 19 printable ASCII characters.
•
An 802.11 network name (SSID), such as
