Extreme Networks Evaluation Guide: Altitude 4511 Access Point

Common Conﬁguration Mistakes

This section will be updated during the course of the

evaluation period. It will contain common conﬁguration

mistakes and the corrections recommended by

Extreme Networks support.

The Most Common Mistake

All conﬁgurations must be committed to the Running

conﬁguration before they are active. Be sure to click the

Commit button in the upper right corner of the conﬁgu-

ration screen. If anything doesn’t appear to be working,

click Commit before doing any further diagnostics. Click

Save before rebooting or turning the AP o.

No Default Gateway Assigned to the

Management Interface

Within the Controller proﬁle, select Network -> Static

Routes. Click Add Rows and enter 0.0.0.0/0 as the

network address and your router IP address as the

Gateway. This will set the default gateway for the system.

WLAN is not Broadcasting on My

Test Laptop

This usually means then WLANs are not mapped to a

radio. Within the Controller and Dependent AP proﬁles,

select Interface -> Radios. Select radio1 and click Edit.

Select WLAN Mapping and ensure WLANs are mapped

to the radio on the left side of the box. Click OK, then

exit. It may also mean the wrong country was selected.

Wrong Country Selected

US FCC certiﬁcation requires that an access point used in

the United States can only have a US country option. If

the AP presents other country options in a list, the

WLAN will be disabled if the AP is a US SKU. Be sure to

check the label on the rear of the unit to see if you have

a WR (worldwide RoHS) or a US (United States) SKU.

The WR and US are appended to the end of the part

number. Use the information in the Diagnostics section

to view the State of the radio.
