Chapter 3 Configuring Ports and Interfaces
Configuring the Management, AP-Manager, Virtual, and Service-Port Interfaces
Virtual Interface
• Any fictitious, unassigned, and unused gateway IP address, such as 1.1.1.1
• DNS gateway host name
Note To ensure connectivity and web authentication, the DNS server should always point to the
virtual interface. If a DNS host name is configured for the virtual interface, then the same
DNS host name must be configured on the DNS server(s) used by the client.
Service-Port Interface
Note The service-port interface uses the controller’s factory-set service-port MAC address.
• DHCP protocol (enabled) or
• DHCP protocol (disabled) and IP address and IP netmask
Step 4 Click Save Configuration to save your changes.
Step 5 If you made any changes to the virtual interface, reboot the controller so your changes take effect.
Using the CLI to Configure the Management, AP-Manager, Virtual, and
Service-Port Interfaces
This section provides instructions for displaying and configuring the management, AP-manager, virtual,
and service-port interfaces using the CLI.
Using the CLI to Configure the Management Interface
Follow these steps to display and configure the management interface parameters using the CLI.
Step 1 Enter show interface detailed management to view the current management interface settings.
Note The management interface uses the controller’s factory-set distribution system MAC address.
Step 2 Enter config wlan disable wlan-number 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 vlan management {vlan-id | 0}
Note Enter 0 for an untagged VLAN or a non-zero value for a tagged VLAN. Cisco recommends
that only tagged VLANs be used on the controller.
• config interface port management physical-ds-port-number
