Figure 7: Adding option 43 to the DHCP scope
You can use an IP address list or a hostname list, but not both. If the list contains both types of values, the AP does not
attempt to use the list.
If you use the host option, you must configure the network’s DNS server with address records that map the hostnames
in the list to the WSS IP addresses. Valid characters in hostnames are limited to uppercase and lowercase letters,
numbers, periods (.), and hyphens (–).
After receiving a DHCP, acknowledgement containing a valid string for option 43, a AP sends a unicast message to
the each WSS in the list, to request a software image and configuration. If the AP does not receive a reply to the
request after one minute, the AP starts the boot process over with a new DHCP Discover message, this time from AP
port 2.
No configuration is required on the WSS itself.
Accessing the WSS CLI quickstart wizard
Estimated timing: 10 minutes
To access the CLI quickstart wizard, use the following procedure:
Step Action
1 Attach a PC to the WSS serial console port, as described in “Powering on a 2382” on
page 18.
2 Enter enable to access the configuration level of the CLI.
The password to gain access to privileged mode is not set. When prompted for the
password, press Enter to continue.
Note: Be sure to removed the default leading period before entering an
ASCII IP address. The DHCP configuration will not work correctly if this
period remains in front of the IP address.
Note: The quickstart wizard places the Ethernet port in VLAN 1. If your
requires that the Ethernet port be in a different VLAN or tagged, then you
must manually configure and save those settings using the CLI.
