Creating a Wireless Controller Profile

Using the Command Line Interface to Configure the WLAN

The first step in creating a WLAN is to configure a profile defining the parameters applied to a
wireless controller.

To create a profile:

rfs4000(config)#profile rfs4000 Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1)#

This creates a profile with the name Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1 and moves the cursor
into its context. Any configuration made under this profile is available when it is applied to a device.

Configure a VLAN

Create the VLAN to use with the WLAN configuration. This can be done using the following
commands:

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1)#interface vlan 2

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1-if-vlan2)#ip address

172.16.11.1/24

The above command assigns the IP address 172.16.11.1 with the mask of 255.255.255.0 to VLAN
2. Exit the VLAN 2 context.

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1-if-vlan2)#exit

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1)#

The next step is to assign this newly created VLAN to a physical interface. In this case, VLAN 2 is
mapped to GE3 and GE4 to support two access points, an Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point and
an Brocade Mobility 71XX Access Point. The Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point is connected to the
gigabit interface GE3 and the Brocade Mobility 71XX Access Point to the GE4 interface.

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1)#interface ge 3

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1-if-ge3)#

Map VLAN 2 to this interface. This assigns the IP address to the selected physical interface.

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1-if-ge3)#switchport

access vlan 2

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1-if-ge3)#exit

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1)#

Similarly, map the defined VLAN 2 to the GE4 interface.

rfs4000(config-profile-1_UseCase1)#interface ge 4

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1-if-ge4)#switchport

access vlan 2

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1-if-ge4)#exit

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1)#

Exit the profile and save it.

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility RFS4000_UseCase1)#exit

rfs4000(config)#commit write
