Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide

Quickstart example

This example configures the following parameters:
System name: 2350-mrktg
Country code (regulatory domain): US
System IP address: 172.16.0.21, on IP interface 172.16.0.21 255.255.255.0
Default route: 172.16.0.20
Administrative user wssadmin, with password letmein. The only management access the switch allows by default is
CLI access through the serial connection.
System Time and date parameters:
Date: 31st of March, 2006
Time: 4:36 PM
Timezone: PST (Pacific Standard Time), with an offset of -8 hours from Universal Coordinated Time
(UTC)
Unencrypted SSID name: public
Username user1 and password pass1 for Web-based AAA
Encrypted SSID name: corporate
Username bob and password bobpass for 802.1X authentication
Directly connected AP on port 2, model 2330
The IP addresses, usernames, and passwords in this document are examples. Use values that are appropriate for your
organization.
If you configure time and date parameters, you will be required to enter a name for the timezone, and then enter the value
of the timezone (the offset from UTC) separately. You can use a string of up to 32 alphabetic characters as the timezone
name.
Figure 2 shows an example. Users bob and alice can access encrypted SSID corporate on either of the APs. Users user1
and user2 can use the same APs to access unencrypted SSID public. Although the same hardware supports both SSIDs
and sets of users, AAA ensures that only the users who are authorized to access an SSID can access that SSID. Users of
separate SSIDs can even be in the same VLAN, as they are in this example.
Note. The quickstart script asks for an IP address and subnet mask for the
system IP address, and converts the input into an IP interface with a subnet mask,
and a system IP address that uses that interface. Likewise, if you configure this
information manually instead of using the quickstart command, you must
configure the interface and system IP address separately.
