Management access options
Managing the access point includes viewing network statistics and setting configuration options.
Statistics track the network activity of associated MUs and data transfers on the AP interfaces.
The access point requires one of the following connection methods to perform a custom
installation and manage the network:
• Secure Java-Based WEB UI - (use Sun Microsystems’ JRE 1.5 or higher available from Sun’s
Web site and be sure to disable Microsoft’s Java Virtual Machine if installed)
• Command Line Interface (CLI) via Serial, Telnet and SSH
• Config file - Human-readable; Importable/Exportable via SFTP
MIB (Management Information Base) accessing the access point SNMP function using a MIB
Browser. The access point’s download site contains MIB files supporting the access point:
Make configuration changes to access point’s individually. Optionally, use the access point
import/export configuration function to download settings to other access points.
For detailed information, see “Importing/exporting configurations” on page 92.
MAC address assignment
• MAC address assignments are as follows:
• LAN (GE1) - The access point MAC address can be found underneath the access point chassis.
• WAN (GE2) - WAN MAC address + 1.
• LAN2 - A virtual LAN not mapped to the LAN Ethernet port. This address is the lowest of the two
radio MAC addresses.
• Radio1 (802.11b/g/n) - Random address located on the Web UI, CLI and SNMP interfaces.
• Radio2 (802.11a/n) - Random address located on the Web UI, CLI and SNMP interfaces.
The access point’s BSS (virtual AP) MAC addresses are calculated as follows:
• BSS1 - The same as the corresponding base radio’s MAC address.
• BSS2 - Base radio MAC address +1
• BSS3 - Base radio MAC address +2
• BSS4 - Base radio MAC address +3
