Chapter 1: Introduction
Use this Quick Start Guide to configure the Avaya WLAN 8100 system to provide basic Wireless LAN
services using Open Authentication. This document does not cover all the functionality required for a
typical enterprise network and is intended to be used in a demo/test environment.
To configure the Wireless LAN services on the WLAN 8100, complete the following steps:
• complete the preliminary configuration on the WLAN Controller (WC) 8180.
• configure the WC 8180 using the command line interface.
• configure the WC using the Wireless Management System.
• configure the WC using the Enterprise Device Manager.
Avaya WLAN 8100 system components
The WLAN 8100 Solution comprises the following components:
• WLAN Controller 8180
• WLANAccess Point 8120
• Access Point 8120 with ExternalAntenna
• WLAN Management Software 8100
Warning:
The AP8120 and the AP8120 with External Antenna are both designed for indoor use only
and must not be installed outdoors.
Warning:
The AP8120 with External Antenna must be installed by a professional installer.
For more information about these components and the complete solution, see the WLAN 8100
product documentation suite at www.avaya.com.
Important:
The WC 8180 Controller requires licenses to manage the Access Points. The license
activationcode for thecontroller and theinstructions to generatethe license fileare included

Chapter 2: Completing the preliminary
controller configuration
This chapter provides the procedure to complete the preliminary configuration on the Wireless Controller
(WC) 8180 before you complete the wireless configuration.
Before you begin
Remove the WC 8180 from its packaging and ensure you have the following components and materials:
• WC 8180 device
• console cable
Procedure
1. Power on the WC 8180.
2. When the WC 8180 is up, connect the console cable.
3. Press Ctrl+Y to start.
4. From the MENU screen, select Command Line Interface to go to the CLI.
You are now connected to the WC 8180 device.
5. Use the following command sequence to configure the Layer 2 VLAN. The following example
uses vlan 20 as the VLAN to provide management and wireless services.
WC8180>en
WC8180#configure t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
WC8180(config)#vlan create 20 name mgmt-wireless type port
WC8180(config)#vlan members remove 1 1-26
WARNING: STP configuration may be lost on selected ports. You may
need to reconfigure the ports manually.
WC8180(config)#vlan members add 20 1-4
WC8180(config)#vlan mgmt 20
Note:
Before you create the interface IP, select Management Vlan.After you create the interface
IP, you cannot make further changes to the management VLAN.
6. Use the following command sequence to configure Layer 3.
WC8180(config)#interface vlan 20
WC8180(config-if)#ip address 20.20.20.45 255.255.255.0
WC8180(config-if)#exit
WC8180(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 20.20.20.1 1

8. Use the following command sequence to enable TELNET and SNMP access.
WC8180(config)#
WC8180(config)#telnet-access enable
WC8180(config)#
WC8180(config)#snmp-server enable
WC8180(config)#
9. Install and verify the license.
You mustplace theWC 8180license fileon aTFTPserverthatthe WCcan reach.Alternatively,
you can load the license file onto the WC from a USB stick where the license is stored.
For more details on generating the license for the WC, see Obtaining a license for the Wireless
Controller on page 69
After you load the license onto the WC, the WC reboots.
In the following example, 640024B51F7F00.lic is the 64 AP License file downloaded for the
controller.
WC8180#copy tftp license address 20.20.20.9 filename 640024B51F7F00.lic
License successfully downloaded.
NOTE: system must be rebooted to activate license.
WC8180#boot Reboot the unit(s) (y/n) ? yRebooting . . .
Or
WC8180#copy usb license filename 640024B51F7F00.lic
License successfully downloaded.
NOTE: system must be rebooted to activate license.
WC8180#boot Reboot the unit(s) (y/n) ? yRebooting . . .
10. Verify that the licenses are installed correctly. TheAP License Count should indicate the
number of APs the controller is licensed to connect to.
WC8180#show wireless controller license-info
Platform AP Capacity : 256
Licensed AP Capacity : Unlimited

11. Enable the Wireless system and configure the Wireless system interface.
Use VLAN 20 for the Management interface, Wireless system interface, and Wireless client
connectivity. In production networks, these can be separate VLANs to isolate network
management traffic from wireless traffic.
WC8180#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
WC8180(config)#wireless
WC8180(config-wireless)#interface-ip 20.20.20.45
WC8180(config-wireless)#enable
WC8180(config-wireless)#
WC8180(config-wireless)#show wireless
Status : Enabled
Interface IP : 20.20.20.45
TCP/UDP base port : 61000
WC8180(config-wireless)#
12. Configure the controller to be MDC capable.
WC8180(config-wireless)#
WC8180(config-wireless)#controller mdc-capable
% Domain password should be between 10-15 characters long.
% Password must contain a minimum of 2 upper, 2 lowercase letters
% 2 numbers and 2 special characters like !@#$%^&*()
Enter domain password: *****
Verify Domain password: *****
WC8180(config-wireless)#
The WC 8180 is now configured to provision the controller for Wireless services.

Chapter 3: Configuring the Wireless
Controller using the CLI
Completethis procedureto configurethe WirelessController (WC)8180 usingthe command lineinterface
(CLI).
Before you begin
You must complete the preliminary controller configuration before you can configure the WC.
Procedure
1. Use the following command sequence to join the WC with the Mobility Domain.
WC8180#wireless controller join-domain domain-name AVAYA mdc-address 20.20.20.45
Enter Domain Secret: *****
Use 'show wireless controller domain-membership' to see join status.
WC8180#show wireless controller domain-membership
Domain Name : AVAYA
Domain Role : Active MDC
Domain Action Status : Join Success
Action Failure Reason : None
WC8180#
2. Connect Access Points (AP) to the network.
Note:
The AP 8120 is powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE). You can connect a PoE switch or
an external power injector to the AP.
3. Configure the DHCP server forAP discovery.
TheAvayaAP8120 discovers the controller IP addresses using DHCP option 43 or DNS.This
following example uses the DHCP option. The Option 43 setting must be 08 08 41 56 41 59
41 20 41 50 01 04 14 14 14 2D, where 14 14 14 2D is the HEX representation of the controller
IP 20.20.20.45. For details on how to configure the DHCP server, see DHCP server
configuration for access points on page 67.
4. Discover the APs. Power on the APs by connecting them to the PoE switch or external power
injector.
5. Ensure the APs are connected to the DHCP server.
6. Once theAP receives the controller information from the DHCPserver, theAP connects to the
controller.
All the discovered APs are placed in the discovered AP Table on the controller.
7. Use the following command sequence to verify that the connected AP is discovered by the
controller.
WC8180(config-wireless)#show wireless domain ap discovered
Total number of discovered AP: 3

command.
WC8180(config-wireless)#
Note:
You can also manually add APs to the domain AP database (insert x-ref to step: which will
be explained later in the flow of this section).
9. Use the following command sequence to display the AP status. The following commands
display the Managed Status of the APs and other relevant information. All APs must have a
status of Managed to provide the configured Wireless services.
