C H A P T E R 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE This chapter describes how to configure the CiscoWorks 1105 and CiscoWorks 1130 WLSEs and how to set up devices for management. Configuration Quick Reference Table 4-1 provides a high-level overview of the initial configuration process. Detailed procedures are provided in this chapter. After configuration is complete, see the User Guide for the Wireless LAN Solution Engine or the WLSE online help for information on day-to-day operations.
Chapter 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE Configuration Quick Reference Table 4-1 Quick Reference (continued) Task Steps Configure the Web browser on the client. 1. Verify that client system is using a supported browser. 2. Configure the browser. Log in and verify HTTP and HTTPS connectivity. 1. Log in to the Web interface. 2. Verify that you can connect to the WLSE via HTTP and HTTPS. Prepare devices and the WLSE for device management. 1. Set up devices. 2.
Chapter 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE Configuring the WLSE’s Network Information Configuring the WLSE’s Network Information Use the setup program to configure the WLSE when you boot it for the first time, and if you ever have to erase the configuration. • Press the Backspace or Delete key to delete characters when entering a response to a prompt. • You cannot edit a response after you press the Enter key.
Chapter 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE Configuring the WLSE’s Network Information Step 3 At the login prompt, enter setup. When you boot the system for the first time, it is not configured. Logging in as setup allows you to configure the system. Step 4 Table 4-2 Enter responses to the first set of prompts to configure the WLSE’s connectivity. Table 4-2 describes how to respond to the prompts. After each response, press Enter to proceed to the next prompt.
Chapter 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE Configuring the WLSE’s Network Information Answer the next set of prompts to create a self-signed certificate. This certificate will allow you to access the WLSE securely, using HTTPS, until you are able to obtain a certificate from a certificate authority (CA). Table 4-3 describes how to respond to the prompts. To make changes in the certificate after running setup, see Changing the Configuration After Running Setup, page 4-6.
Chapter 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE Configuring Name Resolution Changing the Configuration After Running Setup To change the information in the setup configuration, use the following CLI commands at any time. For more information about CLI commands, see the User Guide for the Wireless LAN Solution Engine, Release 2.5. You can use CLI commands by connecting to the WLSE through the console or by using Telnet or SSH.
Chapter 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE Verifying the Configuration • Discovery will be slow. • Connecting to the WLSE via Telnet will be slow. You will be able to connect to the WLSE only after name resolution on the client times out. • Ping and traceroute commands will result in 100% packet losses in 4 out of 5 ICMP packets. This occurs because the WLSE times out when attempting reverse DNS lookup. • IP addresses will appear instead of hostnames in WLSE displays.
Chapter 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE Verifying the Configuration Note Step 2 For security reasons, Telnet is disabled on the WLSE by default. If you want to connect to the CLI interface using Telnet, you can enable it by using the telnetenable enable CLI command. • For the WLSE 1105, use the serial port on the front panel; do not use the serial port on the back panel as a console port. • For the WLSE 1130, the serial/console port is on the back panel.
Chapter 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE Configuring the Web Browser Configuring the Web Browser Normally, all WLSE tasks are performed in the Web interface. Before you connect to the Web interface, make sure you are using a supported browser and that the browser is properly configured.
Chapter 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE Configuring the Web Browser Configuring Internet Explorer To configure Internet Explorer 6.0, perform the following steps: Step 1 Enable JavaScript: a. Select Tools > Internet Options > Security. b. Make sure that the Internet icon is selected, and click Custom Level. c. Scroll to Scripting and select the following: – Select Enable for Active scripting. – Select Enable for Allow paste operations via script.
Chapter 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE Configuring the Web Browser Note Windows XP does not come with the Java Plugin installed on Internet Explorer 6.0. This causes problems when upgrading a WLSE to 2.5 software. If you plan to use a Windows XP client or server to update WLSE software, configure the browser as described in the procedure for creating a remote repository in the online help or in the User Guide for the Wireless LAN Solution Engine, Release 2.5.
Chapter 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE Next Steps—Finish Initial Configuration Next Steps—Finish Initial Configuration For the remainder of the configuration, you use the WLSE’s Web interface. Table 4-5 Quick Reference for WLSE Configuration and Device Setup Task Steps References Log in and verify connectivity. Verify that you can connect to the WLSE via HTTP and HTTPS.
Chapter 4 Configuring the CiscoWorks 1105 and 1130 WLSE Logging into the Web Interface and Verifying Connectivity Logging into the Web Interface and Verifying Connectivity To verify HTTP and HTTPS connectivity, connect to the WLSE using a supported, properly configured Web browser and perform the following steps: Step 1 To verify HTTP connectivity, enter the system IP address, followed by :1741 (the default port number). For example, if the system IP address is 209.165.202.128, enter http://209.165.202.
