Cisco Structured Wireless-Aware Network (SWAN) Implementation Guide

Implementing the Cisco SWAN Framework

Subsequent to these steps, customers can configure additional parameters like VLANs, SSIDs, and encryption settings. Customers may choose to use the CiscoWorks WLSE to do these configurations in bulk after the CiscoWorks WLSE has discovered the WDS-host and the infrastructure access points.

Managing the WLSM and Access Points with the CiscoWorks WLSE

When WLSM is active and all of the infrastructure access points are registered, the access points must be discovered and managed on the CiscoWorks WLSE. Follow these steps to manage the WLSM:

Step 1 Log into the CiscoWorks WLSE.

Step 2 Navigate to Devices > Discover. Select Managed/Unmanaged in the table of contents on the left-hand side.

Step 3 The WLSM WDS device displays in the New folder on the right-hand side action pane.

Step 4 Select the WLSM and then Manage. The negotiation of security between the WDS and CiscoWorks WLSE begins. After the encryption keys are negotiated, the WDS is interrogated. The WDS device reports its registered access points to the CiscoWorks WLSE. The CiscoWorks WLSE then interrogates the registered access points. This process may take 5 to 10 minutes depending on the number of access points.

The infrastructure access points are managed in the CiscoWorks WLSE by completing Steps 2 through 4.

Note This procedure is unnecessary if the advanced discovery auto-manage option was configured prior to WDS-host discovery.

Validating the Setup

The IOS command line on the WLSM is used to validate the configurations. To validate the WDS configuration, enter this command:

show wlccp wds ap

All registered access points and infrastructure access points are listed.

wlsm# show wlccp wds ap

MAC-ADDR IP-ADDR STATE LIFETIME 000d.28f2.33ea 10.1.12.19 REGISTERED 171 000d.28f2.3426 10.1.12.23 REGISTERED 173 000d.28f2.3436 10.1.12.22 REGISTERED 183 000c.8576.326e 10.1.12.18 REGISTERED 497

To validate that the CiscoWorks WLSE is correctly registered, enter this command:

show wlccp wnm status

The CiscoWorks WLSE IP address is listed and Security Keys Setup appears in the status field.

wlsm# show wlccp wnm status

WNM IP Address : 172.20.98.221 Status : SECURITY KEYS SETUP
