ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600 The access points and wireless controller are connected in the same subnet and same VLAN and use the same IP address range that is assigned for that subnet. The configuration does not include any routers between the access points and the wireless controller. The access points are connected to a PoE switch, which, in turn, is connected to the Layer 3 switch or router that provides Internet access. This network configuration has the following prerequisites: • VLANs 10, 20, and 100 are tagged VLANs and are configured on the wireless controller and the PoE switch. • The wireless controller is connected to the PoE switch through default VLAN 1. You manage the wireless controller from a computer over VLAN 1 through the PoE switch. • The DHCP server on the wireless controller is configured in management VLAN 100 to enable the access points to receive an IP address through VLAN 100. • The PoE switch port to which the wireless controller is connected is configured as a tagged port to allow tagged traffic from VLAN 100. To provision the wireless controller: Step Configuration 1. Configure the basic system settings: 1. Configure the country code of operation. 2. Configure the time settings. 3. Configure the IP address of wireless controller. 4. For initial discovery and configuration of the access points, temporarily configure management VLAN 100 as an untagged management VLAN on the wireless controller. 5. Change default VLAN 1 to a tagged VLAN. 2. For initial discovery and configuration of the access points, temporarily configure management VLAN 100 as an untagged management on the PoE switch. 3. Configure either the network's DHCP server or the wireless controller's DHCP server to use VLAN 100. If you use the wireless controller's DHCP server: 1. Configure the IP address range for VLAN 100. 2. Configure the other DHCP server fields, including the gateway and DNS servers.
