NOTE—The IPSec settings are designed to protect all traffic (control and data)
between a remote AP and a Wireless LAN switch. AP data is always encrypted,
but without an IPSec tunnel, AP control traffic is sent in the clear. To set up an
IPSec tunnel, configure the preshared key, user name (the AP PAP username that
is configured on the switch), and the user name password. Also configure the
VPN on the switch so that the switch end of the IPSec tunnel is also defined.
6 Plug the AP into one of the ports configured for provisioning.
If your AP is already plugged into the port, unplug it and plug it in again.
If AP is connected through POE, enter (in interface mode) no poe followed by
poe.
The AP will come up with an IP from the provisioning subnet
After the AP comes up it should be in the provisioning list. Provisioning list
shows the list of APs which are plugged into the provisioning ports.
7 When the AP entry redisplays, the Clear Table button appears after an
entry in the list appears.
To erase all the table entries, click Clear Table. (You cannot clear selected
entries.) If a number of APs are provisioned and you click Clear Table, only the
entries which come up afterwards can be provisioned.
If the entry does not show up in the AP list, check network connectivity. Go to
the AP console and verify if the AP has come up with the IP from the
provisioning subnet.
8 After the entry shows up on the page, configure the location, Host
IP/Name, Master IP address.
If AP is going to be assigned a static IP, click Use the following IP Address and
enter the IP address, Netmask, Gateway IP.
If the AP is going to obtain an IP address using DHCP, click Use IP Address
Using DHCP.
9 After configuring the required parameters, select the entry from the list (AP
to which the configuration has to be applied) and click Apply.
The State field changes from U (Unprovisioned) to In Progress.
10 When the AP is provisioned, the State will have changed to P
(Provisioned).
N
OTE—Check that the configured parameters are reflected in the AP list entry.
NOTE—Alcatel Networks recommends that you provision each AP for a unique location as suggested
by site-survey planning. Label each AP with this location information and place the AP in its proper
location. Failure to place APs in the location for which they were provisioned will reduce the effective-
ness of such RF features as triangulation.
