Getting Started with the Wireless LAN Solution Engine

The following topics provide a n overview of the Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE) and assistance in getting started:

• Overview of the Wireless LAN Solution Engine, page 1-1

Overview of the Wireless LAN Solution Engine

78-14092-01

The WLSE is a hardware and software soluti on for manag ing Cisco wi reless devices. The WLSE has th e following m ajor f eature s:

• Configuration

Allows you to apply a set of configuration changes to a group of access points and connected switc h ports.

• Reporting

Allows you to display reports for tracking device, client and security information. R eport s can be ema il ed, pri nte d, or expo rte d.

Date and Time Disp lay on the WLSE

• Fault and Policy Monito ring

Provides device monitoring for fault and performance conditions, monitoring of LEAP server resp onses , a nd mon itori ng of p ol icy misc onfigura tions .

The WLSE works by gathering fault, performance, and configuration information about the Cisco wir eless d evices tha t it dis covers in your n etwor k. T he WL SE allows you to manage t he d iscovered devices. You can customize configuration templates and apply them, display reports on managed devices and wireless clients, and monitor device faul ts.

When you log in to the WLSE, a dashboard appears with the following tabs:

Tab Allows you to ... See...

Faults Display device faults, specify fault thresholds,

specify policies, and enable syslog and traps.

Configure Create and appl y configurat ion te mpla tes and

manage jobs. Reports Run, view and email reports. Using Reports, page 4-1 . Administration Perform administrative tasks such as

discovering devices, managi ng user pr ofiles,

and managing the appliance.

Fault Monitoring, page 2-1.

Configuring Devices, page 3-1.

Performing Administr ative Tasks, page 5-1.

Date and Time Display on the WLSE

The WLSE uses browser (client) time in most of its displays. The format of timestamps depends on the br owser you are using :

• In Internet Explorer, the timestamp is date, tim (hours:minutes:seconds),

timezone, and y ea r; for exam ple : Mon Mar 25 13:29:21 PST 2002

• In Netscape Navigator, the timestamp is date, time (hours:minutes:seconds),

offset from GMT/UTC, timezone , and year ; for example: Mon Mar 25 13:29:21 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time) 2002

In some WLSE tables, the timestamp is hours:minutes:seconds month /day/year; for example, 19:2 3:44 06 /29/200 2. T he t ime is browser (cl ien t) t im e.

Getting Started

The WLSE’s syst em time is Univ ersal Coordinated T ime (UTC), and UTC is used in certain displays, such as the Disc o ver y Run Log. To disp lay or r eset the system time, see the instructions in the Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide for the CiscoWorks 1105 Wireless LAN Solution Engine.

Getting Started

Before you can use WLSE monitoring, configuration, and reporting, you must set up your devices, initiate discovery, and move devices into the managed state. To get started, follow the directions in the Quick Start Guide or use the following task list.

Task Description and References

1. Set up devices (access points, bridges, rout ers, swit ches, and LEAP servers).

2. Log in to the WLSE using a Web browser.

3. Enter device credent ials. D evice comm unity stri ngs must be en tered on the

4. Initiate di scovery fro m the WL SE or import devices from a file or from CiscoWorks.

5. Verify the discovery. On the WLSE, verify that devices were disc overed. See

See Set Up Devices, page 5-4 for de tail s.

Enter the WLSE’s IP address, followed by:1741; for example, http://209 .1 65. 202.12 8: 1741.

WLSE. See Setting Device Credentials, page 5-17. For access point configuration tasks, th e HTTP

username and password must be entere d on the WLSE. See Specify the HTTP Username and Password,

page 5-20.

If you are using discovery from the WLSE, add seed devices and enable discovery. You can initiate an immediate one-time discovery or schedule discovery for a later time. See Managing Device Discovery, page 5-2 .

View Discovery History and St atu s, page 5- 12.

Logging Out

Task Description and References

6. Set device stat e to “managed” and run inventory polling.

7. Create other users and user roles as needed.

You must move devices to the managed st ate on t he WLSE before you can use configuration, reporting, and monitoring featu res. After moving devices to the managed state, y ou shou l d p erfor m an i mm edi ate inventory polling to obtain device information needed to use such WLSE features as reports and automatic grouping. See Using Discovery and M anag ing D evices,

page 5-2.

The WLSE has one predefined user (the system administrator) and four predefined user roles. User roles are used to spec ify the WLSE fun ctions a gi v e n user can have acc ess to. To allow other users access t o the WLSE, the system administrator must add users. The system administrator can also create roles to customize user access. SeeAdministering Users, page 5-60.

Fault Monitoring

The Faults tab displays inform ation t o help you mon itor your devices. All th e device information shown under this tab is poll ed from the devices in your network.

Following are the subtabs under Faults:

Note Some of the subtabs may no t be v isible to some u sers.

• Display Faults—See Displaying Faults, page 2-1

• Specify Fault Thresholds—See Specifying Fault Thresholds, page 2-7

• Specify Policies—See Specifying Policies, page 2 -13

• Fault Forwarding—See Forwarding Faults, page 2-15

Displaying Faults

This window displays device fault information. A fault is an abnormal condition that occurs when a system component exceeds a performance threshold or is not functioning properly. (See Specifying Fault Thresholds, page 2-7 to set threshold levels.)

A fault can also occur when a system policy is violated. (See Specifying Policies,

page 2-13 to set policies.)
