About the Startup Wizard
When an Cisco Wireless LAN Controller is powered up with a new factory Operating System software load or after being reset to factory defaults, the bootup script runs the Startup Wizard, which prompts the installer for initial configuration. The Startup Wizard:
•Ensures that the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller has a System Name, up to 32 characters.
•Adds an Administrative username and password, each up to 24 characters.
•Ensures that the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller can communicate with the CLI, Cisco WCS, or Web User interfaces (either directly or indirectly) through the Service Port by accepting a valid IP configuration protocol (none or DHCP), and if ‘none’, IP Address and netmask. If you do not want to use the Service port, enter 0.0.0.0 for the IP Address and netmask.
•Ensures that the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller can communicate with the network (802.11 Distribution System) through the Management Interface by collecting a valid static IP Address, netmask, default router IP address, VLAN identifier, and physical port assignment.
•Prompts for the IP address of the DHCP server used to supply IP addresses to clients, the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Management Interface, and optionally to the Service Port Interface.
•Asks for the LWAPP Transport Mode, described in Layer 2 and Layer 3 LWAPP Operation.
•Collects the Virtual Gateway IP Address; any fictitious, unassigned IP address (such as 1.1.1.1) to be used by Layer 3 Security and Mobility managers.
•Allows you to enter the Cisco WLAN Solution Mobility Group (RF Group) Name.
•Collects the WLAN 1 802.11 SSID, or Network Name.
•Asks you to define whether or not clients can use static IP addresses. Yes = more convenient, but lower security (session can be hijacked), clients can supply their own IP Address, better for devices that cannot use DHCP. No = less convenient, higher security, clients must DHCP for an IP Address, works well for Windows XP devices.
•If you want to configure a RADIUS server from the Startup Wizard, the RADIUS server IP address, communication port, and Secret.
•Collects the Country Code. (Refer to Cisco WLAN Solution Supported Country Codes.)
•Enables and/or disables the 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point networks.
•Enables or disables Radio Resource Management (RRM).
