n If you are using VLAN 1 to connect the switch to the network (Deployment Scenario #2: APs All on One
Subnet Different from Switch Subnet on page 36 and Deployment Scenario #3: APs on Multiple Different
Subnets from Switches on page 37), ping the VLAN 1 IP address from a workstation on the network.
n If you created and configured a new VLAN (Deployment Scenario #3: APs on Multiple Different Subnets
from Switches on page 37), ping the IP address of the new VLAN from a workstation on the network.
Enabling Wireless Connectivity
Wireless users can connect to the SSID but because you have not yet configured authentication, policies, or
user roles, they will not have access to the network. Other chapters in the AOS-W User Guide describe how to
build upon this basic deployment to configure user roles, firewall policies, authentication, authentication
servers, and other wireless features.

Configuring Your User-Centric Network
Configuring your switch and AP is done through either the Web User Interface (WebUI) or the command line
interface (CLI).
n WebUI is accessible through a standard Web browser from a remote management console or workstation.
The WebUI includes configuration wizards that step you through easy-to-follow configuration tasks. Each
wizard has embedded online help. The wizards are:
l AP Wizard—basic AP configurations including LAN, Remote, LAN Mesh and Remote Mesh deployment
scenarios
l Switch Wizard—basic switch configuration including system settings, Control Plane security, cluster
settings and licenses
l WLAN/LAN Wizard—creating and configuring new WLANs and LANs associated with the “default” ap-
group. Includes campus only and remote networking.
l License Wizard—installation and activation of software licenses (see Software Licenses on page 79)
Clicking Cancel from the Wizards return you to where you launched the wizard. Any configuration changes you
entered are not saved.
n The command line interface (CLI) allows you to configure and manage switches. The CLI is accessible from a
local console connected to the serial port on the switch or through a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) session
from a remote management console or workstation.
By default, you can only access the CLI from the serial port or from an SSH session. To use the CLI in a Telnet
session, you must explicitly enable Telnet on the switch.
Replacing a Switch
The procedures below describe the steps to replace an existing standalone master switch and/or a redundant
master switch. Best practices are to replace the backup master switch first, and replace the active master switch
