Optional Information

The Setup Wizard to also allows you to:

Create virtual local area networks (VLANs) into which wireless users are placed after authentication

Modify default port settings

Enable the Uplink firewall, and configure the following Management and Dell interface types

Management Interfaces: SSH, HTTPS, SNMP and DHCP.

Dell Interfaces: RAP, VIA, VIA Mac and Site-to-Site VPN

Install licenses for ArubaOS software modules

Configure internal and guest WLANs

Specify IP address pools to define the inner IP addresses assigned to VPN clients and access points connecting to a local controller, or to a standalone or master controller with remote APs.

If you plan on adding controller licenses or configuring additional VLANs, WLANs, or port settings on your controller, make a note of the desired licenses or settings before you launch the Setup wizard.

NOTE: These optional configuration settings cannot be configured when running initial setup on a serial port connection.

Initial Setup on a Serial Port Connection

The serial port is located on the front panel of the controller. You can start the Initial Setup dialog when you connect a terminal, PC or workstation running a terminal emulation program to the serial port on the controller.

The serial port connection only allows you to configure the basic configuration required to connect the controller to the network. The recommended browser-based Setup Wizard allows you to also install software licenses and configure internal and guest WLANs (see ““Initial Setup Using the WebUI Setup Wizard” on page 1). If you use the Initial Setup dialog to configure the controller, the browser-based Setup Wizard will not be available unless you reset the controller to its factory default configuration. To run the Initial Setup dialog from a serial connection:

1. Configure your terminal or terminal emulation program to use the following communication settings:

2.Connect your terminal or PC/workstation to the serial port on the controller using an RS-232 serial cable. All accessory kits shipped with Dell controllers contain an RJ-45 cable and DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter. You may need to provide a USB adapter to connect the serial cable to your PC.

3.Boot up the Dell controller. After the controller boots up, you should see a screen similar to the following:
