Configure Controller Parameters From the CLI

 Whether or not Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is enforced. For installations

within the United States, enforcing DFS means that channels 52-64 (5.25-5.35

GHz), 100-116 (5.47-5.725 GHz), and 136-140 (5.68-5.70 GHz) conform to DFS

regulations, protecting radar from interference on these channels.

 The number of minutes of station inactivity that causes a client to time out is set

by the Station Aging Out Period.

 Whether or not inter-controller roaming will be used. Enabling the Roaming

Domain sets IP-IP tunnel-based routing between a named group of controllers that

is configured elsewhere. For more information, see the chapter on Intercontroller

Roaming.

Configure UDP Broadcast with Web UI

You can enable all UDP ports at once with the CLI commands for upstream and downstream

traffic. Meru does not recommend that you enable this feature on a production network

because it could lead to broadcast storms leading to network outages. This feature is

provided for testing purposes only.

You need to assign each ESS (see the chapter Configuring an ESS) to a specific VLAN (see

the chapter Configuring VLANs) before enabling all UDP broadcast ports. Having multiple

ESS’s in the default VLAN and enabling all UDP broadcast ports does not work.

To configure UDP broadcast upstream/downstream for all ports, follow these steps:

1. Click Configuration > Devices > System Settings.

2. Click the tab UDP Broadcast Up.

3. Click Add, provide a UDP Port Number in the range 1-65355, and then click OK.

The port number now appears in the Upstream UDP Broadcast Port list.

4. Click the tab UDP Broadcast Down.

Click Add, provide a UDP Port Number in the range 1-65355, and then click OK.

The port number now appears in the Downstream UDP Broadcast Port list.

Reset System and System Passwords from the CLI

The passwords for the system users “admin' and “guest” can be reset to their default

values during a system boot. When the controller prompts “accepting reset request”

displays, type pass to reset the passwords.

To reset the settings for the entire system to their default values, type reset at the

reset system values prompt.
