Restarting system.
To verify that the controller is accessible on the network, ping the loopback address from a workstation on the
network.
Configuring the System Clock
You can manually set the clock on the controller, or configure the controller to use a Network Time Protocol
(NTP) server to synchronize its system clock with a central time source. For more information about setting the
controller’s clock, see Setting the System Clock on page 824.
Installing Licenses
ArubaOS consists of a base operating system with optional software modules that you can activate by
installing license keys. If you use the Setup Wizard during the initial setup phase, you will have the opportunity
to install software licenses at that time. Refer to Software Licenses on page 130 for detailed information on
Licenses.
Connecting the Controller to the Network
Connect the ports on the controller to the appropriately-configured ports on an L2 switch or router. Make sure
that you have the correct cables and that the port LEDs indicate proper connections. Refer to the Installation
Guide for the controller for port LED and cable descriptions.
In many deployment scenarios, an external firewall is situated between various Dell devices. External Firewall
Configuration on page 626 describes the network ports that must be configured on the external firewall to allow
proper operation of the network.
To verify that the controller is accessible on the network:
l If you are using VLAN 1 to connect the controller to the network (Deployment Scenario #2: APs All on One
Subnet Different from Controller Subnet on page 95 and Deployment Scenario #3: APs on Multiple
Different Subnets from Controllers on page 96), ping the VLAN 1 IP address from a workstation on the
network.
l If you created and configured a new VLAN (Deployment Scenario #3: APs on Multiple Different Subnets
from Controllers on page 96), ping the IP address of the new VLAN from a workstation on the network.
Enabling Wireless Connectivity
Wireless users can connect to the SSID but because you have not yet configured authentication, policies, or
user roles, they will not have access to the network. Other chapters in the Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS
