Command Reference Guide

set auto-config 47
Usage — A network administrator at the corporate office can
preconfigure the switch in a 3Com Wireless Switch Manager network
plan. The switch configuration must have a name for the switch, the
model must be WXR100, and the serial number must match the switch’s
serial number. The configuration should also include all other settings
required for the deployment, including MAP configuration, SSIDs, AAA
settings, and so on.
When the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager server in the corporate
network receives the configuration request, the server looks in the
currently open network plan for a switch configuration with the same
model and serial number as the one in the configuration request.
 If the network plan contains a configuration with a matching model
and serial number, the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager sends the
configuration to the switch and restarts the switch. The switch boots
using the configuration it received from the 3Com Wireless Switch
Manager.
 If the network plan does not have a configuration with a matching
model and serial number, a verification warning appears in the 3Com
Wireless Switch Manager. The warning lists the switch’s serial number
and IP address. The network administrator can upload the switch into
the network plan, configure switch parameters, and deploy the
configuration to the switch.
To use the auto-config option with a new (unconfigured) WXR100, insert
a paperclip or similar object into the WXR100’s Fn hole to press the
switch. The Fn switch must be held for about 3 seconds while the Fn LED
(the right LED above port 1) is lit. Normally, this LED remains solidly lit for
3 seconds after power on. However, when the Fn switch is pressed, the
LED flashes for 3 seconds instead.
If you want another WX switch model to be able to access a 3Com
Wireless Switch Manager server for a configuration, you also must
preconfigure the WX with the following information:
 IP address
 Gateway address
 Domain name and DNS server address
