Step 5: Configure Interfaces for POE

1.Enter the interface connected to the AP:

RSL_RACK_1_SW(config)#int eth 1/1/20 RSL_RACK_1_SW(config-if-e1000-1/1/20)#

2.Provide a port name description for what is connected:

RSL_RACK_1_SW(config-if-e1000-1/1/20)#port-name Connected to BR-AP7131

3.Enable the port POE:

RSL_RACK_1_SW(config-if-e1000-1/1/20)#inline power

CONFIGURING THE BROCADE RFS7000 CONTROLLER

Step 1: Provide power to the controller

Step 2: Set up the controller console port

To add the Brocade Mobility RFS7000 Controller to the network and prepare it for initial configuration:

1.Using the console cable provided, connect the Mobility RFS7000 Controller serial port to an RS-232 (DB-9) serial port on a separate computer (the “configuration computer”).

2.On the configuration computer, configure a terminal emulation application (such as HyperTerminal):

-19200bps transfer rate

-8 data bits

-No parity

-1 stop bit

-No flow control

-No hardware compression

Step 3: Set the IP address for the controller

1.Connect to the RFS7000 console port.

2.Initial login:

-login: cli

-User Access Verification

-Username: admin

-Password: admin123

-Brocade WLAN Controller

-BR-RFS7000>

3.Enter Privileged Mode

BR-RFS7000>enable BR-RFS7000#
