Getting Started with Device Management
Before you can use WLSE monitoring, configuration, firmware upgrading (or
downgrading), and reporting, you must set up your devices, initiate discovery , and
move devices into the managed state. To get started, follow the directions in the
Quick Start Guide for the CiscoWorks 1105 Wireless LAN Solution Engine or use
the following task list as a general guide.
Table1-2 Basic Initial Tasks
Task Description and References
1. Set up devices (access points, bridges,
routers, switches, and AAA servers). See Set Up Devices, page 6-12 for details.
2. Log into the WLSE using a Web browser. Enter the WLSE’s IP address, followed by:1741; for
example, http://209.165.202.128:1741. Use the admin
username and the password you created during initial
setup of the WLSE.
3. Enter device credentials. Device community strings for all managed devices must
be entered on the WLSE. See Specifying Device
Credentials, page 6-6.
For access point configuration tasks, HTTP usernames
and passwords must be entered on the WLSE. See
Specify the HTTP Username and Password, page 6-9.
4. Initiate discovery from the WLSE or
import devices from a file or from a
CiscoWorks2000 server.
If you are using discovery from the WLSE, add seed
devices and enable discovery. You can initiate an
immediate one-time discovery or schedule discovery for
a later time. See Managing Device Discovery, page6-10.
5. Verify the discovery. On the WLSE, verify that devices were discovered. See
Viewing Inventory and Discovery Task History,
page6-27.
