System information

The table below gives the IP addresses used in this scenario. The following steps will guide you
through the configuration of the Unified Switch and the Access Point.
Device Subnet
Unified Switch 10.90.90.90/8 (default)
AP1 10.90.90.91/8 (default)
AP2 10.90.90.92/8
Client Address Pool 10.90.91.1 – 10.90.91.254
To begin the Unified Switch configuration, connect to port 12 (or any other unused port) from a
PC that is on the same subnet (10.0.0.0/8) and launch the web browser using this IP address,
10.90.90.90. The Unified Switches and the APs will be connected after completing the entire
configuration.
NOTE: Do not power down the switch before saving configuration.
NOTE: The default username is “admin” and there is no password.
1.1 Configure AP Network Settings
DHCP client is enabled by default on the APs. However, for this scenario the APs use static IP
addresses. For AP1, you can use the default static IP address of 10.90.90.91, but you must access
the AP CLI to disable DHCP (otherwise, the AP would receive an address from the switch DHCP
server, which you configure in section 1.1. For AP2, you must access the CLI to disable DHCP
and to set a new static IP address so that it does not use the same IP address as AP1.
To access and configure AP1 and AP2 by using the access point CLI, use the following steps
(Note: you will only have CLI access to the APs prior to them becoming managed by the Unified
Switch. Once they reach managed state, the switch will disable CLI access to the APs such that a
user cannot modify the configuration of the AP while in managed mode since in this mode the
switch provides configuration information to the AP. It is possible to place a managed AP in
“debug” mode in order to temporarily allow CLI access to the AP for configuration changes.)
1. Physically connect a PC in the 10.0.0.0 subnet to AP1.
2. Telnet to the AP by using the default IP address of 10.90.90.91. Use the default
username/password of admin/admin.
3. Enter the following command to disable DHCP:
set management dhcp-status down
4. Enter the command “save-running” to save the current AP configuration.
5. Physically connect a PC in the 10.0.0.0 subnet to AP2.
6. Telnet to the AP by using the default IP address of 10.90.90.91.
7. Enter the following command to change the IP address:
set management static-ip 10.90.90.92
8. Telnet to the AP again by using the IP address of 10.90.90.92 since your initial session will
be dropped upon changing the address.
9. Enter the following command to disable DHCP:
set management dhcp-status down
10. Enter the command “save-running” to save the current AP configuration.
11. Enter the command “Exit” to logout the AP.
