Configuring Local WFS709TPs

A single master WFS709TP configuration can be one WFS709TP or a master redundant configuration with one master WFS709TP and the VRRP redundant backup WFS709TP. This chapter covers migration to both of those scenarios.

The steps involved in migrating from a single-switch to a multi-switch WFS709TPenvironment are:

1.Configure the role of the local WFS709TP to local and specify the IP address of the master.

2.Configure the Layer 2 / Layer 3 settings on the local WFS709TP (VLANs, IP subnets, IP routes).

3.Configure as trusted ports the ports the master and local WFS709TP use to communicate with each other.

4.For those APs that need to boot off the local WFS709TP, configure the LMS IP address to point to the new local WFS709TP.

5.Reboot the APs that are already on the network, so that they now connect to the local WFS709TP.

Configuring the Local WFS709TP

To set the WFS709TP as local:

•Set the mode of the WFS709TP to local.

•Set the master IP address to the IP address of the master WFS709TP. If master redundancy is enabled on the master, this address should be the VRRP address for the VLAN instance corresponding to the IP address of the WFS709TP (see Figure 10-1).

Configuring L2/L3 Settings

•Configure the VLANs, subnets, and IP address on the local WFS709TP for IP connectivity.
