Specify host information, if necessary.
The Aruba 50 uses the default host name aruba-master to find the host Aruba WLAN
Switch. This assumes that your DNS has been configured to resolve aruba-master to the
master Aruba WLAN Switch IP address.
z If you are not using DNS, you must manually configure the Aruba 50 with the IP address
of the master Aruba WLAN Switch:
apboot> setenv serverip 
z If you are using DNS but wish to specify a different host name, use the following commands:
apboot> setenv master 
apboot> setenv serverip 
Save the configuration and reboot the Aruba 50.
apboot> save
apboot> boot
Once the Aruba 50 boots, disconnect it and mount it in its intended service location (see
instructions on page 14).
