Manually Configuring Controller Information Using the Access Point CLI
Manually Configuring Controller Information Using the Access
Point CLI
In a new installation, when your access point is unable to reach a DHCP server, you can manually
configure needed controller information using the access point CLI. For information on how to connect
to the console port, see the “Connecting to the Access Point Locally” section on page 7-9.
Note The CLI commands in this section can be used only on an access point that is not associated to a
controller.
The static information configured with the CLI commands are used by the access point to connect with
a controller. After connecting with the controller, the controller reconfigures the access point with new
controller settings, but the static IP addresses for the access point and the default gateway are not
changed.
Configuring Controller Information
To manually configure controller information on a new (out-of -the-box) access point using the access
point CLI interface, you can use these EXEC mode CLI commands:
AP# lwapp ap ip address < IP address > < subnet mask >
AP# lwapp ip default-gateway
IP-address
AP# lwapp controller ip address IP-address
AP# lwapp ap hostname name
Where name is the access point name on the controller.
Note The default (out-of-box) Enable password is Cisco.
Clearing Manually Entered Controller Information
When you move your access point to a different location in your network, you must clear the manually
entered controller information to allow your access point to associate with a different controller.
Note This command requires the controller configured Enable password to enter the CLI EXEC mode.
To clear or remove the manually entered controller information, you can use these EXEC mode CLI
commands:
clear lwapp ap ip address
clear lwapp ip default-gateway
clear lwapp controller ip address
clear lwapp ap hostname
