© 2011 Extreme Networks, Inc. All rights reserved.
Use Case Two
One WLAN will be configured with open authentication.
The access points will bridge all packets and VLANs will
not be used anywhere in the network. This Use Case will
use the setup wizard. Reset the unit to the factory
default before beginning this use case.
Set static IP addresses on test PCs for this test.
Extreme Networks® equipment required:
Two (2) or Three (3) Altitude 4511s. One will serve as the
Controller for the network.
Third-party equipment required:
The uplink LAN ports of the access points can be
connected to a Layer-2 network switch or to an Internet
router. A PC with a wireless network card can be used to
test the network.
Test Setup
1. Reset the unit to factory defaults. Consult the
Appendix for instructions
2. Connect three APs to a Layer-2 switch
3. Connect a upstream test PC to the upstream
Layer-2 switch
4. To connect to the AP you wish to designate as the
Controller, use the zero-conf IP address:
• Set the upstream Test PC to a manual IP address
in the 169.254.x.x network
• Convert the last two bytes of the AP MAC
address to decimal (see Appendix)
5. When the configuration is done; set the IP address
of the upstream Test PC to 192.168.100.2.
Diagnostics
• Verify the wireless test PC and upstream PC have IP
addresses in the same subnet.
• Verify the AP actually has a WLAN associated. Use
the information in the Diagnostics section to view
the WLANs and wireless clients on each AP
