Prerequisites

Before installing an AP, you need to gather certain network information. The following section identifies the information

you need.

NOTE

Passwords must be configured with at least 6 characters in length.

Network Name (SSID of the wireless cards) You must assign the Access Point a Primary Network Name before wireless users can

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 Read-Write Password Each Access Point requires a password to allow get and set requests from an SNMP

manager. The default password is “public”. This password must be at least 6 characters in

length.

SNMPv3 Authentication Password If Secure Management is enabled, each Access Point requires a password for sending

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 Secret This is a password shared between the Access Point and the RADIUS authentication

server (so both passwords must be the same), and is typically provided by the network

administrator.

Authentication Server Authentication Port This is a port number (default is 1812) and is typically provided by the network

administrator.

Client IP Address Pool Allocation Scheme The Access Point can automatically provide IP addresses to clients as they sign on. The

network administrator typically provides the IP Pool range.

DNS Server IP Address The network administrator typically provides this IP Address.
