The following instructions show how the IP address can be set on the managed APs.
The IP address of the WLAN controller is also entered, otherwise, the APs are not visible by the WLAN controller.
In the basic configuration, the APs have no fixed IP addresses, but obtain them via DHCP protocol from a corresponding DHCP server.
This DHCP server shows which IP address the AP has obtained.
An appropriate SSH client (eg Putty or similar) allows access to the AP.
show interface all
Displays the currently obtained IP address.
The following commands are used to configure the IP address:
Router> configure terminal
Router (config) # interface br0
Router (config-if-brg) # ip address 192.168.1.25 255.255.255.0
Router (config-if-brg) # ip gateway 192.168.1.254
Router (config-if-brg) # exit
Router (config) # exit
Router # write
Finally, the IP address of the WLAN controller must be entered:
Router> configure terminal
Router (config) # capwap ap ac-ip 192.168.1.254 192.168.1.254 <- The IP address of the controller must be specified twice !!
Router (config) # exit
Router # write
The following command shows the successful programming:
show capwap ap info
