4/1/05 Configuring Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Interfaces
OL-7426-02
• Note that the Cisco 4100 Series Wireless LAN Controller also has a Service-Port Interface, but
that Interface can only be applied to the front-panel Service Port.
If you have not already done so, you must decide which physical port(s) you want to use, and then
create and assign the following:
• Verifying and Changing the Management Interface
• Creating and Assigning the AP-Manager Interface
• Creating, Assigning and Deleting Operator-Defined Interfaces
• Verifying and Changing the Virtual Interface
Continue with the next section to configure the Distribution System IP Address.
Verifying and Changing the Management InterfaceVerifying and Changing the Management Interface
Normally, the static Management Interface parameters are defined when the Cisco Wireless LAN
Controller is initially configured using the Startup Wizard
. However, you may want to verify and/or
change its parameters:
• Use the show interface detailed management command to view the current Management
Interface settings. Note that the Management Interface uses the burned-in MAC address.
• To change any of the parameters, disable all WLANs.
>show wlan summary
>config wlan disable <1-16, or 17 for Third-Party APs> (repeat for all enabled
WLANs)
• And then use the following:
>config interface address management <IP addr> <IP netmask> [optional
gateway]
>config interface vlan management <VLAN ID|’0’ for untagged>
>config interface port management <Physical DS Port Number>
>config interface dhcp management <IP addr of Primary DHCP server> <IP addr
of optional Secondary DHCP server>
>config interface acl management <Access Control List Name> (Note)
using the values collected from the network planner in Collecting Cisco Wireless LAN Controller
Parameters.
Use the show interface detailed management command to verify that the Cisco Wireless LAN
Controller has correctly stored your inputs. Note that this Interface cannot be deleted. Continue with
the next section.
Creating and Assigning the AP-Manager InterfaceCreating and Assigning the AP-Manager Interface
The static AP-Manager Interface only exists when the Cisco SWAN is operating in LWAPP Layer 3 Mode
(see Layer 2 and Layer 3 LWAPP Operation
).
• Use the show interface summary command to view the current Interfaces.
If the Cisco SWAN is operating in Layer 2 Mode, the
ap-manager interface will not be listed.
Either skip this section and continue with Creating, Assigning and Deleting Operator-Defined
Interfaces, or go to Converting a Cisco SWAN from Layer 2 to Layer 3 Mode.
Note: If you are applying an Access Control List (ACL) to the Management Interface,
you must first configure the ACL using the Creating Access Control Lists section.
