ProSAFE Wireless Controller
Stacked Controller Configuration
A stacked controller configuration can consist of up to three wireless controllers and up to
600 access points.
Note: If the stack members are on different floors or in different buildings, you
could configure a separate access point profile group for each building or
floor.
 To set up a stacked controller configuration:
Step Configuration Web Management Interface Path
1. On each individual wireless controller that you intend to make a
stack member, configure the system and network settings of the
wireless controller:
1. Configure the country code of operation.
Configuration > System > General
2. Configure the time settings.
Configuration > System > Time
3. Configure the IP address of the wireless controller.
Configuration > System > IP/VLAN
4. Verify that VLAN 1 is set as the management VLAN and is
marked as untagged.
By default, VLAN 1 an untagged management VLAN.
5. If no network DHCP server is accessible to the access points,
configure the wireless controller’s DHCP server.
Configuration > System > DHCP
Server
2. Configure the master wireless controller and deploy it in the
network.
Configure up to eight access point profile groups, and for each
access point profile in a group, do at least the following:
1. Configure an SSID for WiFi access.
Configuration > Profile > Advanced
2. Configure the network authentication and data encryption.
3. Assign the VLAN.
4. If necessary for the selected network authentication option,
configure the authentication server.
Configuration > Security >
Advanced > Authentication Server
