Creating and Assigning the AP-Manager InterfaceCreating and Assigning the AP-Manager Interface
The static AP-Manager Interface only exists when the Cisco WLAN Solution is operating in LWAPP
Layer 3 Mode (see Layer 2 and Layer 3 LWAPP Operation).
• Use the show interface summary command to view the current Interfaces.
If the Cisco WLAN Solution is operating in Layer 2 Mode, the
ap-manager interface will not be
listed. Either skip this section and continue with Creating, Assigning and Deleting Oper-
ator-Defined Interfaces, or go to Converting a Cisco WLAN Solution from Layer 2 to Layer 3
Mode.
• Use the show interface detailed ap-manager command to view the current AP-Manager
Interface settings.
• To change any of the parameters, disable all WLANs.
>show wlan summary
>config wlan disable <1-16> (repeat for all enabled WLANs)
• And then use the following:
>config interface address ap-manager <IP addr> <IP netmask> [optional
gateway]
>config interface vlan ap-manager <VLAN ID|’0’ for untagged>
>config interface port ap-manager <Physical DS Port Number>
>config interface dhcp ap-manager <IP addr of Primary DHCP server> <IP addr
of optional Secondary DHCP server>
>config interface acl ap-manager <Access Control List Name> (Note)
using the values collected from the network planner in Collecting Cisco Wireless LAN Controller
Parameters.
Use the show interface detailed ap-manager command to verify that the Cisco Wireless LAN
Controller has correctly stored your inputs. Note that this Interface cannot be deleted. Continue with
the next section.
Creating, Assigning and Deleting Operator-Defined InterfacesCreating, Assigning and Deleting Operator-Defined Interfaces
Each Cisco Wireless LAN Controller can support up to 512 dynamic Operator-Defined Interfaces. Each
Operator-Defined Interface controls VLAN and other communications between Cisco Wireless LAN
Controllers and all other network devices. Between one and 512 Operator-Defined Interfaces can be
assigned to Cisco WLAN Solution WLANs
, physical Distribution System Ports, the Layer 2 Management
Interface, and the Layer 3 AP-Manager Interface.
• Use the show interface summary command to view the current Operator-Defined Interfaces.
They can be identified by the ‘dynamic’ Interface type.
Note: If you are applying an Access Control List (ACL) to the Management Interface,
you must first configure the ACL using the Creating Access Control Lists section.
Note: Operator-Defined Interfaces cannot be assigned to the dedicated Cisco 4100
Series Wireless LAN Controller or Cisco 4400 Series Wireless LAN Controller Service
Port.
CAUTION: Operator-Defined Interface names cannot have spaces in them. If an
Operator-Defined Interface name contains a space, you may not be able to edit its
configuration using the Command Line Interface.
