Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller Installation Guide

Unpacking the Controller

Electrical Grounding Requirements
The controller must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must
install the equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250,
as well as any local and regional building codes. In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance
with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code. In all other countries, you
must install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring codes, such as
the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7.
Furthermore, you must verify that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch
wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified grounding-type devices. Because of the high
ground-leakage currents associated with multiple systems connected to the same power source, Cisco
recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or
includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or
those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for this purpose. Using common power outlet
strips for the controller is not recommended.

Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller Power Features
Specific steps to power-on the Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller are provided in Powering On the
Controller, page 1-41.
When the controller is connected to an AC power source, or a DC power for source for the
AIR-CT85DC-K9, but is not turned on, the operating system does not run, and all core logic except for
the service processor (the Integrated Management Module) is shut down; however, the controller can
respond to requests to the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the controller. The
power-on LED flashes to indicate that the controller is connected to power but is not turned on.

Grounding the Chassis

Turning on the Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller
Approximately 5 seconds after the controller is connected to power, one or more fans might start running
to provide cooling while the system is connected to power, and the power-on button LED will blink
quickly. Approximately 20 to 40 seconds after the controller is connected to power, the power-control
button becomes active (the power-on LED will blink slowly), and one or more fans might start running
to provide cooling while the controller is connected to power. You can turn on the controller by pressing
the power-control button.
If a power failure occurs while the controller is turned on, the system will restart automatically when
power is restored.

Turning off the Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller
When you turn off the controller and leave it connected to power, it can respond to requests to the service
processor, such as a remote request to turn on the controller. While the controller remains connected to
power, one or more fans might continue to run. To remove all power from the controller, you must
disconnect it from the power source.

Caution

The power control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the
electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To
remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the
power source.

The integrated management module (IMM) can turn off the controller as an automatic response to a
critical system failure.

Grounding the Chassis
Caution

All power supplies must be grounded. The receptacles of the AC power cables used to provide power to
the chassis must be the grounding type, and the grounding conductors should connect to protective earth
ground at the service equipment.

Preventing ESD Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage occurs when electronic cards or components are improperly
handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.
Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact. Connect
the strap to any unpainted surface on the chassis

Powering On the Controller

Powering On the Controller
Connecting the AC Version of the 8500 [AIR-CT8510-K9] to a Power Source
When you apply AC power to a controller, the bootup script initializes the operating system and its stored
configurations. You are prompted to enter a user ID and password and enter key configuration details.
Follow these steps to power up the controller.
Step 1

Plug an AC power cord into the back of the two power supplies (Figure 1-6 on page 1-24). If only one
power supply is connected to a power source, the system will still function correctly but the monitoring
components of the controller will detect the absence of the second power supply and will raise an alarm.
Connect the other end of the power cord to a properly grounded 100 to 240 VAC 50/60 Hz electrical
outlet.
The end of the power cord that plugs into the controller conforms with the IEC 320 standard.

Step 2

Use the front-panel Power On/Standby button, located in the operator information panel, to turn the
controller on (Figure 1-3 on page 1-19).

Step 3

At the login prompt, enter the controller operating user ID and password. The default user ID is root and
the default password is password.
The user ID and password are case sensitive.
You are now logged into the controller operating system.
Continue to the “Running the Bootup Script and Power-On Self Test” section on page 1-41.

Chapter 1

Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller Installation Guide

Using the Startup Wizard

Note

The available options appear in brackets after each configuration parameter. The default value appears
in all uppercase letters.

Note

Press the hyphen key if you need to return to the previous command line.
To configure the controller for basic operation using the Startup Wizard, follow these steps:

Step 1

When prompted to terminate the AutoInstall process, enter yes. If you do not enter yes, the AutoInstall
process begins after 30 seconds.
Welcome to the Cisco Wizard Configuration Tool
Use the '-' character to backup
Would you like to terminate autoinstall? [yes]:
AUTO-INSTALL: starting now...
rc = 0

Note

Step 2

The AutoInstall feature downloads a configuration file from a TFTP server and then loads the
configuration onto the controller automatically.

Enter the system name, which is the name you want to assign to the controller. You can enter up to
31 ASCII characters.
System Name [Cisco_d9:3d:66] (31 characters max):
AUTO-INSTALL: no interfaces registered.
AUTO-INSTALL: process terminated -- no configuration loaded

Step 3

Enter the administrative username and password to be assigned to this controller. You can enter up to 24
ASCII characters for each.
Enter Administrative User Name (24 characters max): admin
Enter Administrative Password (3 to 24 characters): ******
Re-enter Administrative Password
: ******

Step 4

If you want the controller’s service-port interface to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, enter
DHCP. If you do not want to use the service port or if you want to assign a static IP address to the
service-port interface, enter static.
Service Interface IP Address Configuration [static][DHCP]: static

Note

Step 5

The service-port interface controls communications through the service port. Its IP address must
be on a different subnet from the management interface. This configuration enables you to
manage the controller directly or through a dedicated management network to ensure service
access during network downtime.

If you entered static in Step 4, enter the IP address and netmask for the service-port interface on the next
two lines.
Service Interface IP Address: 172.19.30.18
Service Interface Netmask: 255.255.254.0

Port Num [1 to 2]: 1

Enter the IP address of the default DHCP server that will supply IP addresses to clients, the controller’s
management interface.
Management Interface DHCP Server IP Address: 192.168.1.1

Note

Step 8

The management interface is the default interface for in-band management of the controller and
connectivity to enterprise such as AAA servers.

Enter the IP address of the controller’s virtual interface, which will be used by all controller Layer 3
security and mobility managers. You should enter a fictitious, unassigned IP address, such as 1.1.1.1.
Virtual Gateway IP Address: 1.1.1.1

Note

Step 9

The virtual interface is used to support mobility management, DHCP relay, and embedded Layer
3 security such as guest web authentication and VPN termination. All controllers within a
mobility group must be configured with the same virtual interface IP address.

If desired, enter the name of the mobility group/RF group to which you want the controller to belong.
Mobility/RF Group Name: amb

Note

Step 10

Although the name that you enter here is assigned to both the mobility group and the RF group,
these groups are not identical. Both groups define clusters of controllers, but they have different
purposes. All of the controllers in an RF group are usually also in the same mobility group and
vice versa. However, a mobility group facilitates scalable, system-wide mobility and controller

Using the Startup Wizard

Connecting the Network (Distribution System)
The SFP+ module supported by the Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller is the Cisco SFP-10G-SR.
Cisco SFP-10G-SR: The Cisco 10GBASE-SR Module supports a link length of 26m on standard Fiber
Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)-grade multimode fiber (MMF). Using 2000 MHz*km MMF(OM3),
up to 300m link lengths are possible.
Depending on the distribution system physical port to be assigned, use only standard compliant
fiber-optic cables to connect the network equipment to the controller

Note

Only connections with patch cords with PC or UPC connectors are supported. Patch cords with APC
connectors are not supported. All cables and cable assemblies used must be compliant with the standards
specified in the standards section.

Connecting the Controller’s Service Port (Optional)
The service port is controlled by the service-port interface and is reserved for out-of-band management
of the controller and system recovery and maintenance in the event of a network failure. The service-port
interface enables the controller to be managed on an interface different from the one used for your
network traffic. Use of the service port is optional.
You can perform out-of-band controller management from a PC running a terminal emulation program
or a PC running Cisco WCS, a network management tool that enables you to configure and monitor a
network of controllers, or the controller GUI. However, you must first connect the PC to the controller’s
service port in one of two ways:
•

Use an Ethernet cross-over cable to connect the PC directly to the controller’s service port.

•

For a remote connection (using Telnet or SSH) through a dedicated management network, use a
Category 5, Category 5e, Category 6, or Category 7 Ethernet cable to connect the management
network to the controller’s service port and the appropriate cable to connect the PC to the
management network.

Connecting Access Points
After you have configured the controller, use Category-5, Category-5e, Category-6, or Category-7
Ethernet cables to connect Cisco lightweight access points to the network.
As soon as the controller is operational, it starts to scan for access points. When it detects an access point,
it records the access-point MAC address in its database. The controller radio resource management
(RRM) feature then automatically configures the access point to start sending and allowing clients to
associate.
You have prepared the controller for basic operation. Refer to the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller
Configuration Guide, Release 7.0, for information on configuring the controller to meet the specific
needs of your wireless network.
