Front Panel System Status LED Indicators Front Panel System Status LED Indicators The front panel contains five LEDs, which are viewable with or without the front bezel to display the system’s operating state.
Front Panel System Status LED Indicators Power/Sleep LED The BIOS controls the front panel Power LED as described in the following table.
Front Panel System Status LED Indicators Non-Critical Condition • Temperature, voltage, or fan non‐critical threshold crossing. • Chassis intrusion. • Satellite controller sends a non‐critical state, via the Set Fault Indication command, to the BMC. • Set Fault Indication command from system BIOS. The BIOS may use the Set Fault Indication command to indicate additional, non‐critical status such as system memory or CPU configuration changes.
2 Configuration Once a RoamAbout Wireless Switch has been physically installed into a rack, you need to power it on and go through the initial configuration process described in this chapter. For more information about configuration of the Mobility System Software on a wireless switch, refer to the RoamAbout Mobility System Software Configuration Guide and the RoamAbout Mobility System Software Command Line Interface Reference.
Wireless Switch Configuration Tasks • Usernames and passwords for secure access using 802.1X authentication using PEAP‐MSCHAP‐V2 and secure wireless data encryption using dynamic Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) • Directly connected access points • Distributed access points The quickstart command displays a prompt for each of these items, and lists the default if applicable. You can advance to the next item, and accept the default if applicable, by pressing Enter.
Wireless Switch Configuration Tasks 2. Press Enter three times, to display a username prompt (Username:), a password prompt (Password:), and then a command prompt such as the following: RBT-8200-aabbcc> (Each switch has a unique system name that contains the model number and the last half of the switch’s MAC address.) 3. Access the enabled level (the configuration level) of the CLI: RBT-8200-aabbcc> enable 4. Press Enter at the Enter password prompt. 5. Type quickstart.
Wireless Switch Configuration Tasks Configuring RoamAbout Wireless Switches Using RASM You can use RASM running in your corporate network to configure distributed RoamAbout wireless switches. You can stage any model of wireless switch by preconfiguring IP connectivity and enabling auto‐config, then sending the switch to the remote office. The switch contacts RASM in the corporate network to complete its configuration.
Wireless Switch Configuration Tasks Preparing the Switch Preconfigure the RoamAbout wireless switch with the following information: • IP address • Gateway address • Domain name and DNS server address You can enable the switch to use the MSS DHCP client to obtain this information from a DHCP server in the local network where the switch will be deployed. Alternatively, you can statically configure the information. The IP address and DNS information are configured independently.
Wireless Switch Configuration Tasks 5. Save the configuration changes: RBT-8200# save config 6. Power off or restart the switch. Example 2: Deployment Site Has No DHCP and No DNS The deployment site in this example does not have a DHCP server or a local DNS server. Therefore, IP and DNS information must be statically configured. Because no DNS server is available, an IP alias is configured to map the RASM server’s IP address to the well‐known hostname wlan‐config‐srv. 1.
Wireless Switch Configuration Tasks 5. Configure DNS server information: RBT-8200# set ip dns server 192.168.11.2 6. Enable the MSS DNS client: RBT-8200# set ip dns server enable 7. Enable the auto‐config option: RBT-8200# set auto-config enable 8. Create a self‐signed administrative certificate, to enable RASM or WebView to communicate with the RoamAbout wireless switch. (See Step 4 in Example 1: Deployment Site Has DHCP and Local DNS on page 2‐5.) 9.
Preparing the Network for Distributed Access Points Preparing the Network for Distributed Access Points An AP that is not directly connected to a RoamAbout wireless switch is considered a Distributed AP. Distributed APs require the following support in order to find a RoamAbout wireless switch to configure and manage the AP: • Power—Power over Ethernet (PoE) must be provided on one of the Ethernet connections to the AP. Use a PoE injection device that has been tested by Enterasys Networks.
