Place Your
Equipment

You will need to unpack and physically install your WX switches and
MAPs. For information about installing your equipment, see “Equipment
Installation” on page 42.

Configure Initial
WX Switch
Connectivity

After installing a WX switch, you must prepare it for configuration and
management by 3WXM, by configuring IP connectivity between the WX
and 3WXM. Use the Web Quick Start (if available), or enter the
quickstart command at the CLI prompt.

For more information about configuring initial WX switch connectivity,
see the

Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Quick Start Guide

.

An administrative certificate is also required on the WX switch to enable
management access by 3WXM. If the switch does not already have
certificates, MSS automatically generates them the first time you boot
using MSS Version 4.2 or later. You do not need to install certificates
unless you want to replace the ones automatically generated by MSS. (For
more information, see the “Certificates Automatically Generated by
MSS” section in the “Managing Keys and Certificates” chapter of the

Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Configuration Guide

.)
