Chapter 2

NOTE: The master and serverip environment variables also affect how source files are selected and should be cleared when using this approach. To clear a variable, enter the setenv variable command with no host or address value.

When finished, proceed to Step 2.

zMy network uses direct IP addresses instead of DNS.

If using direct IP addresses in your network, use the following commands:

apboot> setenv serverip <Mobility Controller IP address> apboot> setenv master <Mobility Controller IP address>

NOTE: If the servername variable is configured in this scenario, it will be ignored.

2.Specify an IP address for a specific AP, if necessary.

If using DHCP, the AP will obtain its IP address automatically and you can skip this step. Otherwise, configure the AP with a static IP address using the following commands:

apboot> setenv ipaddr <static IP address for the AP> apboot> setenv netmask <static IP address mask> apboot> setenv gatewayip <default gateway IP address>

3.Set the location for the specific AP, if necessary.

Location settings depend on how much control you want over configuring logical groups of APs in the future.

zDefault Locations

If you wish all APs treated as a single entity for configuration and accounting purposes, you can use the default location profile (255.255.65535) and skip to Step 4.

NOTE: If using default locations during initial provisioning, you can later reconfigure the APs to use specific location IDs using the Aruba Mobility Controller management tools.

zSpecific Locations

By setting specific location IDs for each AP, you can later apply configuration changes or collect statistics and information for specific groups of APs (for example, all APs on a particular floor in a particular building).

To set a specific location for an individual AP, the following command is used:

setenv location <building number>.<floor number>.<device number>
