Prerequisites
Before installing an
Network Name (SSID of the | You must assign the Access Point a Network Name before wireless users can |
wireless cards) | communicate with it. The clients also need the same Network Name. This is not the |
| same as the System Name, which applies only to the Access Point. The network |
| administrator typically provides the Network Name. |
AP’s IP Address | If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, then you need to assign the |
| Access Point an IP address that is valid on your network. |
HTTP Password | Each Access Point requires a read/write password to access the web interface. The |
| default password is “public”. |
CLI Password | Each Access Point requires a read/write password to access the CLI interface. The |
| default password is “public”. |
SNMP Read Password | Each Access Point requires a password to allow get requests from an SNMP |
| manager. The default password is “public”. |
SNMP | Each Access Point requires a password to allow get and set requests from an SNMP |
| manager. The default password is “public”. |
SNMPv3 Authentication | If Secure Management is enabled, each Access Point requires a password for sending |
Password | authenticated SNMPv3 messages. The default password is “public”. The default |
| SNMPv3 username is administrator, with SHA authentication, and DES privacy |
| protocol. |
SNMPv3 Privacy Password | If Secure Management is enabled, each Access Point requires a password when |
| sending encrypted SNMPv3 data. The default password is “public”. |
Security Settings | You need to determine what security features you will enable on the Access Point. |
Authentication Method | A primary authentication server may be configured; a backup authentication server is |
| optional. The network administrator typically provides this information. |
Authentication Server Shared | This is a password shared between the Access Point and the RADIUS authentication |
Secret | server (so both passwords must be the same), and is typically provided by the network |
| administrator. |
Authentication Server | This is a port number (default is 1812) and is typically provided by the network |
Authentication Port | administrator. |
