Set Up Using a WLSE Configuration Template

You can perform initial configuration on access points by using the WLSE’s
startup template feature. Startup configuration works in conjunction with a DHCP
server. The access points get their IP addresses from the DHCP server. If you
prefer static IP addressing, you can either configure the D HCP server like a
BOOTP server (using MAC address-to-IP address mapping) or configure the
static IP address individually on each access point afterwards.
For information on using a startup template, see the online help or the “Managing
Device Configuration” chapter in the User Guide for the CiscoWorks Wireless
LAN Solution Engine, Release 2.7.
Setting Up IOS Access Points
This section provides:
•Procedures to prepare IOS access points for basic network management by
the WLSE—See Basic Network Management Setup—IOS Devices, page 5-4.
•Procedures to prepare IOS access points and the WLSE for participation in
the Cisco Structured Wireless-Aware Network (SWAN)—See Radio
Management Setup—IOS Devices, page 5-10.

Basic Network Management Setup—IOS Devices

You can set up IOS access points and bridges in the following ways:
•Log into each device by using Telnet or SSH and use the device’s CLI
commands—See Using the AP CLI for Network Management Setup,
page 5-5.
•Log into each device’s Web interface—See Using the AP Web Interface for
Network Management Set Up, page 5-7.
•Use the WLSE’s automatic configuration option for first-time device
configuration and applying a configuration template to a number of access
points—See Chapter 7, Managing Device Configuration, in the User Guide
for the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine, Release 2.7.
