Adding a Local Switch 35
Chapter 5
Configuring the L2 / L3 Settings
The VLANs, subnets, and IP address on the local switch need to be
configured on the local switch for IP connectivity. (Refer to “Configuring
Network Parameters” on page 9.)
Verify connectivity to the master switch by pinging the master switch from
the local switch.
On the master switch ensure that the master switch recognizes the new
switch as its local switch.
The local switch will be listed with type
local in the All Alcatel Mobility
Controllers
page on the master. It will take about 4 – 5 minutes for the master
and local switches to sync up configurations.
Configuring Trusted Ports
Navigate to the Configuration > Switch > Port page and make sure that the port
on the local switch connecting the master is trusted. Repeat for the port on
the master switch connecting to the local switch.
Configure the APs
For APs that will boot off of the local switch, you must configure the LMS-IP
address. This configuration has to be done on the master switch. When the
changes are applied, the master switch will push out these configurations to
the local switch.
1. Navigate to the Wireless LAN > Advanced > General page. Select the AP that
has to bootstrap from the local switch.
2 Configure the LMS-IP for the APs under the AP’s location ID on the master.
3 Apply the configuration on the master.
