This document describes how to do the following:

■

Use the quickstart command to perform basic 

system configuration of a Wireless LAN switch (WX) 

running Mobility System Software Version 3.0.

■

Configure a Mobility Domain for roaming. 

■

Open the sample 3WXM network plan 

3ComStarterExample, which contains the configura-

tion values used in the CLI examples. You can use the 

network plan to build on the configuration, if you do 

not want to continue to use the CLI.

What Does the quickstart Command Configure?

The quickstart command runs a script that interactively 

helps you configure the following items:

■

System name

■

Country code (regulatory domain)

■

System IP address

■

Default route

■

Administrative users and passwords

■

System time and date parameters

■

Unencrypted (clear) SSID names

■

Usernames and passwords for guest access using 

Web AAA

■

Encrypted (crypto) SSID names and dynamic WEP 

encryption for encrypted SSIDs’ wireless traffic

■

Usernames and passwords for secure access using 

802.1X authentication using PEAP-MSCHAPv2 and 

secure wireless data encryption using dynamic Wired 

Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

■

Managed Access Points (MAPs) that are directly con-

nected to WX switches

■

Distributed MAPs, which are connected to WX 

switches through an intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3 

network

The quickstart command displays a prompt for each of 

these items, and lists the default if applicable. You can 

advance to the next item, and accept the default if 

applicable, by pressing Enter.

Depending on your input, the command also automati-

cally generates the following key pairs and self-signed 

certificates:

■

SSH key pair (always generated)

■

Admin key pair and self-signed certificate (always 

generated)
