Wireless Switch Configuration Tasks
•Usernames and passwords for secure access using 802.1X authentication using
PEAP‐MSCHAP‐V2 and secure wireless data encryption using dynamic Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
•Directly connected access points
•Distributed access points
The quickstart command displays a prompt for each of these items, and lists the default if applicable. You can advance to the next item, and accept the default if applicable, by pressing Enter.
Depending on your input, the command also automatically generates the following key pairs and self‐signed certificates:
•SSH key pair (always generated)
•Admin key pair and self‐signed certificate (always generated)
•EAP (802.1X) key pair and self‐signed certificate (generated if you type usernames and passwords for users of encrypted SSIDs)
•WebAAA key pair and self‐signed certificate (generated if you type usernames and passwords for users of unencrypted SSIDs)
Note: The quickstart command is for configuration of a new wireless switch only. After prompting you for verification, the command erases the switch’s configuration before continuing. If you run this command on a switch that already has a configuration, the configuration will be erased. In addition, error messages such as Critical AP Notice for directly connected APs can appear.
One of the questions the script asks is the country code. For a list of valid country codes, refer to either the RoamAbout Mobility System Software Configuration Guide or the RoamAbout Mobility System Software Command Line Interface Reference.
Another question the script asks is, “Do you wish to configure wireless?” If you answer y, the script goes on to ask you for SSID and user information, for unencrypted and encrypted SSIDs. If you answer n, the script generates key pairs for SSH and the administrative users you entered, generates a self‐signed administrative certificate, and then ends.
quickstart Command Procedure
To run the quickstart command:
1.Using the null modem cable shipped with the RBT‐8200, attach a PC to the RoamAbout wireless switch’s serial console port. Use these modem settings:
–9600 bps, 8 bits
–1 stop
–No parity
–Hardware flow control disabled
Note: Do not attempt to connect a monitor, keyboard, or mouse to the switch. Use only a null modem cable connected to the serial console port.
