4 Installing the D-Link Unified Access System Table 3. Basic Wireless Global Configuration Field WLAN Switch Disable Reason IP Address AP Authentication AP MAC Validation Country Code Description If the status is disabled, this field appears and one of the following reasons is listed: • None-The cause for the disabled status is unknown. • Administrator disabled-The Enable WLAN Switch check box has been cleared. • No IP Address-The WLAN interface does not have an IP address. • No SSL Files-The D-Link Unified Switch communicates with the APs it manages by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections. The first time you power on the Unified Switch, it automatically generates a server certificate that will be used to set up the SSL connections. The SSL certificate and key generation can take up to an hour to complete. If routing is enabled on the switch, the operational status might be disabled due to one of the following reasons: • No Loopback Interface-The switch does not have a loopback interface. • Global Routing Disabled-Even if the routing mode is enabled on the WLAN switch interface, it must also be enabled globally for the operational status to be enabled. For information about how to configure a loopback interface and enable routing, see "D-Link Unified Switch with Routing Enabled" on page 65. This field shows the IP address of the WLAN interface on the switch. If routing is disabled, the IP address is the network interface. If routing is enabled, this is the IP address of the routing or loopback interface you configure for the Unified Switch features. Select the check box to require APs to be authenticated before they can associate with the switch. Select the database to use for AP validation. • Local-If you select this option, you must add the MAC address of each AP to the local Valid AP database. • RADIUS-If you select this option, you must configure the MAC address of each AP in an external RADIUS server. Select the country code for the country where your switch and APs operate. A popup window asks you to confirm the change. Wireless regulations vary from country to country. Make sure you select the correct country code so that your WLAN system complies with the regulations in your country. Some WLAN modes, such as the Atheros modes, are not available in some countries. Changing the country code disables and re-enables the switch. Any channel and radio mode settings that are invalid for the regulatory domain are reset to the default values. The country code (IEEE 802.11d) is transmitted in beacons and probe responses from the access points. From the CLI, you can view the same information that is available on the Wireless Global Configuration page with the show wireless command in Privileged EXEC mode. If you need to change the country code, you can view the list of available countries and their twoletter codes with the show wireless country-code command. Enabling the WLAN Features on the Switch 57
