GoBeam8000 Quick Configuration Guide
This document demonstrates a quick configuration of a new device with software version
4.0.x.x. For more details, it is recommended that you refer to the GoBeam8000 CLI Reference
Guide.
The CLI can be accessed via Telnet, SSH or RS232 (RS232 option is only available on devices
with an RS232 port). Use a standard straight Ethernet cable or a standard RS232-interface
cable to connect to the device. The default configuration of the device is to receive a dynamic
IP address from a DHCP server without VLAN tagging.
1. Configure the Management IP and VLAN
The following command configures the management connectivity by setting the IP address,
subnet mask, management VLAN and default gateway:
a. Configure the management IP address and VLAN:
/configure ip vlan <vlan number> <address ip-address>
<mask ip-address> default-gateway <gateway ip-address>
b. Save the configuration: copy running-config startup-config
Example:
/configure ip vlan 7 192.168.30.102 255.255.255.0
default-gateway 192.168.30.254
copy running-config startup-config
2. Upgrade the software version (optional)
This procedure is only required if you want to upgrade the unit with the latest software
version.
a. Log in using the predefined “super” user (user: super; password: super).
b. Ping to verify connectivity to a HTTP server:
ping {<dest ip-address> | <url string>}
Once connectivity has been verified, press CTRL+C, to exit the ping mode.
c. Download the latest software from a HTTP server to the device’s flash memory: import
image from url <url string+filename string>
d. Restart the device: reload
e. Log in using the predefined “super” user.
f. Delete the old software configuration from the device: delete startup-config
g. Restart the device: reload
h. Log in using the predefined “super” user.
i. Reconfigure the management IP address and VLAN, if required (see step 1).

Example, where the HTTP IP address is 192.168.30.103:
ping 192.168.30.103
CTRL+C
import image from url http://192.168.30.103/mbw-WLS_WLP-3.0.x
28413.img.gni
reload

delete startup-config
reload

3. Mesh Link Configuration (5GHz)
The following are the steps to configure the device for operation in the mesh:
a. Define the mesh mode of the device. The device should be defined as a Mesh-Gateway if it
is connected to a WAN via the Ethernet port:
/configure mesh mode {gateway | node}
b. Define the Network ID for the device. The Network ID must be the same for all devices in
the mesh network and must be unique for each mesh network:
/configure mesh network-id <network-id>
c. If the device is configured as a Mesh-Gateway, define the backhaul radio channel:
/configure interface Dot11Radio <interface number>
channel <channel number>
d. Save the configuration: copy running-config startup-config
NOTE: For more information on the different type of radio interfaces your device contains
and the interface numbers for the backhaul radio interfaces see the Radio Interfaces
table.
Example for a Mesh-Gateway on a GoBeam 8000:
/configure mesh mode gateway
/configure mesh network-id MY_MESH_NAME
/configure interface Dot11Radio 1 channel 165
copy running-config startup-config
Example for a Mesh-Node:
/configure mesh mode node
/configure mesh network-id MY_MESH_NAME
copy running-config startup-config
4. Configure an SSID for the access clients (2.4GHz)
The following steps define an SSID for the access clients:
a. Create a new SSID entry:
/configure ssid <index number> name <ssid string>
vlan 0 privacy-method none type bssid
