All rights reserved. Cisco ConfidentialBCMSN 6 - 611Getting started…The bulk of the configuration tasks required to setup a Centralized WLAN solution are performed on the Wireless LAN Controller.Lightweight Access Points are designed to be “zero touch” and are not directly configured by the administrator.The very basic configuration tasks required on the WLC are done via CLI, while more complex tasks are completed after the web interface is accessible.© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco ConfidentialBCMSN 6 - 612WLC and Lightweight AP ConfigurationThese are the basic steps to getting the controller and APs online: Have a DHCP server present so that the APs can acquire a network address.Note: Option 43 is used if the APs reside in a different subnet. Configure the WLC for basic operation. Configure the switch for the WLC. Configure the switch for the APs. Register the lightweight APs to the WLCs.© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc.
