WEBVTT 1 00:00.000 --> 00:04.560 The important part of a challenge like this is not only just making sure we 2 00:04.560 --> 00:05.760 know the architecture, 3 00:05.760 --> 00:10.190 but also how do we go about configuring it? Where in this interface do specific 4 00:10.190 --> 00:11.360 elements exist? 5 00:11.360 --> 00:15.520 For example, which of these tabs allows us to configure interfaces? 6 00:15.520 --> 00:19.020 So for the most part, that last diagram we looked at a couple videos ago, that 7 00:19.020 --> 00:19.240 is what 8 00:19.240 --> 00:22.920 we have to keep in mind. I have to make sure I get my interfaces correctly 9 00:22.920 --> 00:23.800 configured, 10 00:23.800 --> 00:27.310 I have to get my AP groups correctly configured, I have to make sure my access 11 00:27.310 --> 00:28.720 points can discover 12 00:28.720 --> 00:32.720 the wireless LAN controller and there's a few key important parts to that. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 12 00:28.720 --> 00:32.720 the wireless LAN controller and there's a few key important parts to that. 13 00:32.720 --> 00:35.940 So let's go and go through this together. First of all, we are to create an 14 00:35.940 --> 00:36.360 interface 15 00:36.360 --> 00:39.840 that will be used for AP attachment, to create interfaces, I go to controller 16 00:39.840 --> 00:41.280 and then interfaces, 17 00:41.280 --> 00:48.800 and then I would add a dynamic interface here, enter a VLAN ID, let's say 15, 18 00:48.800 --> 00:49.680 click apply, 19 00:49.680 --> 00:55.330 and we would need to add the important IP address information in here, as well 20 00:55.330 --> 00:56.240 as select backup 21 00:56.240 --> 01:00.340 port numbers if we're not lagged, and importantly decide whether we're going to WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 21 00:56.240 --> 01:00.340 port numbers if we're not lagged, and importantly decide whether we're going to 22 01:00.340 --> 01:01.920 attach access points 23 01:01.920 --> 01:06.920 to this interface. So for us here, I guess I did create it here, but we're just 24 01:06.920 --> 01:07.600 going to use 25 01:07.600 --> 01:12.560 management, and once again, management does have dynamic AP management enabled 26 01:12.560 --> 01:13.200 for the sake of 27 01:13.200 --> 01:18.490 attaching the access point. We then need to make sure that we are creating an 28 01:18.490 --> 01:19.680 AP group for our 29 01:19.680 --> 01:23.900 access points, that is a tricky part of this. If we don't know where we're 30 01:23.900 --> 01:25.120 going for AP groups, 31 01:25.120 --> 01:29.200 we might not suspect it's under WLANs, but that's where it is. And even when I 32 01:29.200 --> 01:30.080 go to the WLANs WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 32 01:29.200 --> 01:30.080 go to the WLANs 33 01:30.080 --> 01:33.460 tab, I don't see anything about AP groups here, it's actually hidden under 34 01:33.460 --> 01:34.560 advanced. So I have to 35 01:34.560 --> 01:39.750 go over here to AP groups, click add group, give it a name. And once I have my 36 01:39.750 --> 01:41.600 group, then we will 37 01:41.600 --> 01:44.520 eventually configure it, but for now there's not much to do, we just want to 38 01:44.520 --> 01:45.520 make sure there is a 39 01:45.520 --> 01:50.000 group. Now after we've discovered our access point, which should be doable by 40 01:50.000 --> 01:50.960 one of our discovery 41 01:50.960 --> 01:55.130 methods, if we again can't get it to connect via broadcast in a lab environment 42 01:55.130 --> 01:56.320 , chances are we 43 01:56.320 --> 02:01.880 have to go over to our interfaces and make sure that the dynamic AP management WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 43 01:56.320 --> 02:01.880 have to go over to our interfaces and make sure that the dynamic AP management 44 02:01.880 --> 02:03.440 has been enabled. 45 02:03.440 --> 02:07.950 But once we do have our access points, let's actually go to wireless, look at 46 02:07.950 --> 02:09.120 our access points, 47 02:09.120 --> 02:12.980 click on this. And then when I go over to advanced, I'm going to see the drop 48 02:12.980 --> 02:14.080 down for the group. So I 49 02:14.080 --> 02:19.320 want to make sure it's in the right group. And at that point, I'm ready to add 50 02:19.320 --> 02:20.880 SSIDs. Now SSIDs 51 02:20.880 --> 02:25.520 are added via WLANs. We come over here to WLANs. I'm going to click, you know, 52 02:25.520 --> 02:25.920 first of all, 53 02:25.920 --> 02:31.510 make sure it's on create new and then click go, create a profile name like lab WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 53 02:25.920 --> 02:31.510 make sure it's on create new and then click go, create a profile name like lab 54 02:31.510 --> 02:33.440 test, SSID lab test, 55 02:33.440 --> 02:39.730 like apply here. And the big thing that we need to do first of all, besides 56 02:39.730 --> 02:40.640 enabling it, which is 57 02:40.640 --> 02:44.550 important, is to select the correct interface. So I'm going to place this onto 58 02:44.550 --> 02:45.440 the management 59 02:45.440 --> 02:50.370 interface, decide whether or not to broadcast it. And by the way, go ahead and 60 02:50.370 --> 02:51.200 disable layer 61 02:51.200 --> 02:55.110 to security, because we're not quite ready for that. And we will get to that 62 02:55.110 --> 02:57.200 eventually. So lastly, 63 02:57.200 --> 03:02.230 we need to make sure that this WLAN gets added onto the AP group. So I come WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 63 02:57.200 --> 03:02.230 we need to make sure that this WLAN gets added onto the AP group. So I come 64 03:02.230 --> 03:03.600 under CBT and group. 65 03:03.600 --> 03:10.640 And I go over here to WLANs, and I make sure that we add our lab test and their 66 03:10.640 --> 03:11.520 proper interface 67 03:12.000 --> 03:19.760 into the, into the AP group. So this is how we go about configuring an SSID and 68 03:19.760 --> 03:20.640 making it show up 69 03:20.640 --> 03:25.740 on the network. It's not that long and end once we get the process down, but it 70 03:25.740 --> 03:26.320 's just going to 71 03:26.320 --> 03:29.890 take doing it a few times to make sure that I understand the components that 72 03:29.890 --> 03:30.720 come together, WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 72 03:29.890 --> 03:30.720 come together, 73 03:30.720 --> 03:34.320 including the interfaces and everything we've been talking about, and then also 74 03:34.320 --> 03:35.040 where I go in 75 03:35.040 --> 03:38.150 the interface in order to make the configuration happen. I hope this has been 76 03:38.150 --> 03:39.040 informative for you, 77 03:39.040 --> 03:41.320 and I'd like to thank you for viewing.
