Features
See the following sections for information about the feature changes:
•Support for External Captive Portal on page 7
•Support for Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) on page 7
•Bonjour Gateway support on page 8
For information on the WMS enhancements and on Avaya Command Line Interface (CLI)
commands, see Using WMS and EDM on Avaya WLAN 8100, NN47251-108 and ACLI Commands
Reference for Avaya WLAN 8100, NN47251-107 respectively.
For more information on feature fundamentals, see Feature Overview for Avaya WLAN 8100,
NN47251-102.
Support for External Captive Portal
Wireless LAN Cotroller 8100 can support external captive portal with patented floating CPIP
mapping method and RFC 5176 Change of Authorization (CoA) to achieve a linearly scaling
standalone external captive portal solution that is designed for both large and small deployment.
WLAN 8100 users can provide their own external captive portal based on design guideline from
Avaya.
The WLAN controller leverages RFC 5176 CoA (Change of Authorization) to support small, medium,
and large scale deployments.
Support for Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a data link layer protocol in the Internet Protocol Suite
used by network devices for neighbor identity and capability discovery. Avaya AP advertises its
status to the neighbors and relays the information and status about the LLDP neighbors to its
managing wireless controller.

Comments? [email protected]

LLDP support on AP can advertise its status, capabilities, and process information from other LLDP
neighbors. Eg. PoE switches.
Bonjour Gateway support
Bonjour is a service discovery protocol of Apple. Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other
computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network using multicast domain
name system (mDNS) service records. Bonjour can be extended across subnets by using Avaya
WLAN 8100 Bonjour Gateway feature, which selectively relays service discovery packets across
networks without using external gateway or custom router configuration.

Chapter 3: Wireless LAN (WLAN) 8100
configuration overview
The wireless LAN (WLAN) 8100 solution supports the following deployment models:
•Avaya Overlay:
In this deployment, the Wireless Controller 8180 (WC) controls/manages Access Points (AP)
over a control channel and data is tunneled between APs and the WC over an access tunnel.
Two or more WCs in the domain form a cluster, with a mesh of control channels and data
tunnels between each other.
•Avaya VENA Unified Access:
In this deployment, the Wireless Controller is deployed in the control-plane only mode of
operation of the 8180 platform. This device then hosts only wireless control function and is
called a wireless control point (WCP). A switch such as the Avaya ERS 8600/8800 introduced
into the network, tunnels traffic (data) and is known as the wireless switching point (WSP). The
APs and WSPs tunnel traffic between each other over an access tunnel and the WSPs tunnel
traffic between each other over a mobility tunnel.
For more information about these deployment models and the complete solution, see the WLAN
8100 product documentation suite at http://www.avaya.com.
Important:
This document describes the WLAN configuration for the Overlay deployment only. For
information on wireless LAN configuration for Unified Access deployments, see Quick Start
Unified Access Deployment Configuration for Avaya WLAN 8100, NN47251-111.

from Avaya Data Licensing portal. To obtain a license from the Avaya Data Licensing portal,
see Obtaining licenses from the Avaya Data Licensing portal on page 108.
• Ensure that you have copied the license file(s) on to a TFTP server that the WC can reach, or
you have stored the file(s) on a USB stick. This procedure provides the appropriate commands
to apply the license file using the command line interface (CLI).
Procedure
1. Use Telnet or the console port on the WC to connect to the WLAN 8100 Controller CLI.
2. Log in as the Administrator if the user name and password is configured.
3. On the MENU screen of the WC 8180, select Command Line Interface to go to the CLI.
4. Apply the license file from a TFTP server. Execute the following command from the WLAN
8100 CLI in privExec (#) mode.
copy tftp license address <IP Address> filename <License filename>
where <IP Address> is the IP address of the TFTP server.
Note:
The correct license file contains the MAC address of the controller that the license file is
being copied onto. After you download the licence file onto the WC, you must reboot the
WC using the boot command.
5. Alternatively, execute the following command to apply the license file from a USB stick.
copy usb license filename <License filename>
6. Verify that the license is installed correctly.
WC8180#show wireless controller license-info
Platform AP Capacity : 512
Licensed AP Capacity : Unlimited
AP License Count : 64
AP License Used Count : 0
WC8180#
If the license is installed correctly, the AP License Count indicates the correct number of
licensed access point (s) (AP) that can connect to the controller.
7. Read the WLAN 8100 online documentation for more detailed information and store your
License Certificate in a secure place for future reference.
