Introduction to the Controller

The 2504 controller works in conjunction with Cisco lightweight access points and the Cisco Wireless
Control System (WCS) to provide system-wide wireless LAN functions. As a component of the Cisco
Unified Wireless Network (CUWN), the 2504 controller provides real-time communication between
wireless access points and other devices to deliver centralized security policies, guest access, Wireless
Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS), context-aware (location), award-winning RF management, quality
of services for mobility services such as voice and video, and OEAP support for the Teleworker solution.

The 2504 controllers supports up to 50 lightweight access points in increments of 5 access points with
a minimum of 5 access points, making it a cost-effective solution for retail, enterprise branches, and
small and medium-sized businesses. The 2504 controller comes with four 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

The 2504 controller offers robust coverage with 802.11 a/b/g and delivers unprecedented reliability
using 802.11n with Cisco Next-Generation Wireless Solutions and Cisco Enterprise Wireless Mesh.

CONSOLE CPU console port The CPU console port is an RS-232 port that supports a

RJ-45 connector. At boot-up the controller configures the
RS-232 port as a console port with default settings of
9600, N, 8, 1. The boot-loader supports baud rates of
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and

115200. A default baud-rate recovery mechanism is not
available; however the bootloader ensures that the stored
baud rate setting matches one of the allowed values
before setting the baud rate. If a nonstandard value is
detected the baud rate will default to 9600.

Unpacking and Preparing the Controller for Operation

• A system (controller name), such as controller. The system name can contain up to 32 printable

ASCII characters.

• An administrative username and password, which can contain up to 24 printable ASCII characters.

Note You must enter a username and password and the configured username and password cannot be the same.

• A management interface (DS Port or network interface port) IP address, such as 10.40.0.4.

• A management interface netmask address, such as 255.255.255.0.

• A management interface default router IP address, such as 10.40.0.5.

• A VLAN identifier if the management interface is assigned to a VLAN, such as 40 or 0 for an

untagged VLAN.

• A management interface port, such as 1.

• A management interface DHCP server IP address, such as 10.40.0.6 (the IP address of the default

DHCP server that will supply IP addresses to clients and the management interface.

• A virtual gateway IP address (a fictitious, unassigned IP address, such as 192.0.2.1, used by all Cisco

wireless controller Layer 3 security and mobility managers).

• A Cisco wireless controller mobility or RF group name, such as rfgrp40 if required. An RF group

• Status of Radio Resource Management (RRM), either enabled or disabled.

Configuring Management Interface

When you save the controller's configuration, the controller stores it in XML format in flash memory.
Controller software release 5.2 or later releases enable you to easily read and modify the configuration
file by converting it to CLI format. When you upload the configuration file to a TFTP/FTP/SFTP server,
the controller initiates the conversion from XML to CLI. You can then read or edit the configuration file
in a CLI format on the server. When you are finished, you download the file back to the controller, where
it is reconverted to an XML format and saved.

The controller does not support the uploading and downloading of port configuration CLI commands. If
you want to configure the controller ports, enter these commands:

Cisco 2500 Series Wireless Controller Getting Started Guide

• config port linktrap {port | all} {enable | disable}-Enables or disables the up and down link traps

for a specific controller port or for all ports.

• configport adminmode {port | all} {enable |disable}-Enables or disables the administrative mode

for a specific controller port or for all ports.

The management interface is the default interface for in-band management of the controller and
connectivity to enterprise services such as AAA servers. It is also used for communications between the
controller and access points. The management interface has the only consistently “pingable” in-band
interface IP address on the controller. You can access the GUI of the controller by entering the
management interface IP address of the controller in the address field of either Internet Explorer or
Mozilla Firefox browser.

Following are the steps to configure the management interface:

Step 1 Enter the show interface detailed management command to view the current management interface

settings.

Note The management interface uses the controller’s factory-set distribution system MAC address.

Step 2 Enter the config wlan disable wlan-number command to disable each WLAN that uses the management

interface for distribution system communication.

Step 3 Enter these commands to define the management interface:

–

config interface address management ip-addr ip-netmask gateway

–

config interface quarantine vlan management vlan_id

Note Use the config interface quarantine vlan management vlan_id command to configure a

quarantine VLAN on the management interface.

–

config interface vlan management {vlan-id | 0}

Note Enter 0 for an untagged VLAN or a nonzero value for a tagged VLAN. We recommend using

tagged VLANs for the management interface.

–

config interface port management physical-ds-port-number

–

config interface dhcp management ip-address-of-primary-dhcp-server
[ip-address-of-secondary-dhcp-server]

–

config interface acl management access-control-list-name
