Configuring Organization String
The Organization string is a set of colon-separated strings created by the W-AirWave administrator to
accurately represent the deployment of each W-IAP. This string is defined by the installation personnel on the
site.
You can use any of the following strings:
l AMP Role— "Org Admin" (initially disabled)
l AMP User— "Org Admin" (assigned to the role "Org Admin")
l Folder— "Org" (under the Top folder in AMP)
l Configuration Group— "Org"
You can also assign additional strings to create a hierarchy of sub folders under the folder named "Org". For
example:
n subfolder1 for a folder under the "Org" folder
n subfolder2 for a folder under subfolder1
Shared Key
The Shared Secret key is an optional field used by the administrator to manually authorize the first Virtual
Controller for an organization. Any string is acceptable.
Configuring W-AirWave Information
You can configure W-AirWave information using the Instant UI or CLI.
In the Instant UI
1. Click the W-AirWave Set Up Now link in the bottom-middle region of the main window. The System
window is displayed with the W-AirWave parameters on the Admin tab.
2. Enter the name of your organization in the Organization name text box. The name defined for
organization is displayed under the Groups tab in the W-AirWave user interface.
3. Enter the IP address or domain name of the W-AirWave server in the AirWave server text box.
4. Enter the IP address or domain name of a backup W-AirWave server in the AirWave backup server text
box. The backup server provides connectivity when the primary server is down. If the W-IAP cannot send
data to the primary server, the Virtual Controller switches to the backup server automatically.
5. Enter the shared key in the Shared key text box and reconfirm. This shared key is used for configuring the
first AP in theInstant network.
6. Click OK.
In the CLI
To configure W-AirWave information in Instant:
(Instant AP)(config)# organization <name>
(Instant AP)(config)# ams-ip <IP-address or domain name>
(Instant AP)(config)# ams-backup-ip <IP-address or domain name>
(Instant AP)(config)# ams-key <key>
(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Configuring for W-AirWave Discovery through DHCP
The W-AirWave can be discovered through DHCP server. You can configure this only if W-AirWave was not
configured earlier or if you have deleted the precedent configuration.
