48CHAPTER 3: SYSTEM SERVICE COMMANDS

You can enable the switch to use the MSS DHCP client to obtain this information from a DHCP server in the local network where the switch will be deployed. Alternatively, you can statically configure the information.

The IP address and DNS information are configured independently. You can configure the combination of settings that work with the network resources available at the deployment site. The following examples show some of the combinations you can configure.

Examples — The following commands stage a WX-1200 switch to use the auto-config option. The network where the switch is installed has a DHCP server, so the switch is configured to use the MSS DHCP client to obtain an IP address, default gateway address, DNS domain name, and DNS server IP addresses.

Configure a VLAN:

WX-1200# set vlan 1 port 7 success: change accepted.

Enable the DHCP client on VLAN 1:

WX-1200# set interface 1 ip dhcp-client enable success: change accepted.

Enable the auto-config option:

WX-1200# set auto-config enable success: change accepted.

Create a self-signed administrative certificate, to enable the WX-1200 to communicate with the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager server.
