Verifying the Wireless LAN Controller Software Version
On the Summary page, you can verify the software version that the wireless LAN controller is running.
If a version update is necessary, refer to the appropriate controller configuration documentation.
Recording the Access Point MAC Address
Use a text file to record the MAC address of all the access points you intend to deploy in your network.
Having a file of access point MAC addresses will be of considerable value for future testing. While you
are compiling the list, you might want to change the name of the access point to something you can
easily remember. The name can contain up to 32 characters. The following example, fisher_street:ea:co
contains the last four HEX characters of the access point MAC address.
Adding the Access Point MAC Address to the Wireless LAN Controller
Filter List
The wireless LAN controller maintains an access point authorization MAC address list and responds
to discovery requests from access points on that list. To add the access point MAC address (or MAC
addresses) to the Wireless LAN controller filter list, follow these steps:
Step 1 If you are not logged onto the wireless LAN controller, log on now. The Summary page
appears.
Step 2 On the menu bar, click SECURITY. The Security RADIUS Authentication Server page
appears.
Step 3 Under AAA in the left frame, click MAC Filtering. The Security MAC Filtering page appears.
Step 4 Click New. The MAC Filters New page appears.
