3Com Wireless LAN WX1200 - Manual (Page 49)

set auto-config 49
When the 3WXM server in the corporate network receives the
configuration request, the server looks in the currently open network
plan for a switch configuration with the same model and serial number as
the one in the configuration request.
„
If the network plan contains a configuration with a matching model
and serial number, 3WXM sends the configuration to the switch and
restarts the switch. The switch boots using the configuration it
received from 3WXM.
„
If the network plan does not have a configuration with a matching
model and serial number, a verification warning appears in 3WXM.
The warning lists the switch’s serial number and IP address. The
network administrator can upload the switch into the network plan,
configure switch parameters, and deploy the configuration to the
switch.
To use the auto-config option with a new (unconfigured) WXR100, insert
a paperclip or similar object into the WXR100’s factory reset hole to press
the switch. The factory reset switch must be held for about 3 seconds
while the factory reset LED (the right LED above port 1) is lit. Normally,
this LED remains solidly lit for 3 seconds after power on. However, when
the factory reset switch is pressed, the LED flashes for 3 seconds instead.
If you want another WX switch model to be able to access a 3WXM
server for a configuration, you also must preconfigure the WX with the
following information:
„
IP address
„
Gateway address
„
Domain name and DNS server address
You can enable the switch to use the MSS DHCP client to obtain this
information from a DHCP server in the local network where the switch
will be deployed. Alternatively, you can statically configure the
information.
The IP address and DNS information are configured independently. You
can configure the combination of settings that work with the network
resources available at the deployment site. The following examples show
some of the combinations you can configure.
