Chapter 3 Configuring Ports and Interfaces
Configuring the Management, AP-Manager, Virtual, and Service-Port Interfaces
Step 3 Enter these commands to define the virtual interface:
• config interface address virtual ip-address
Note For ip-address, enter any fictitious, unassigned, and unused gateway IP address, such as
1.1.1.1.
• config interface hostname virtual dns-host-name
Step 4 Enter reset system. At the confirmation prompt, enter Y to save your configuration changes to NVRAM.
The controller reboots.
Step 5 Enter show interface detailed virtual to verify that your changes have been saved.
Using the CLI to Configure the Service-Port Interface
Follow these steps to display and configure the service-port interface parameters using the CLI.
Step 1 Enter show interface detailed service-port to view the current service-port interface settings.
Note The service-port interface uses the controller’s factory-set service-port MAC address.
Step 2 Enter these commands to define the service-port interface:
• To configure the DHCP server: config interface dhcp service-port ip-address-of-primary-dhcp-
server [ip-address-of-secondary-dhcp-server]
• To disable the DHCP server: config interface dhcp service-port none
• To configure the IP address: config interface address service-port ip-addr ip-netmask
Step 3 The service port is used for out-of-band management of the controller. If the management workstation
is in a remote subnet, you may need to add a route on the controller in order to manage the controller
from that remote workstation. To do so, enter this command:
config route add network-ip-addr ip-netmask gateway
Step 4 Enter save config to save your changes.
Step 5 Enter show interface detailed service-port to verify that your changes have been saved.
