Cisco Cisco 2106 Wireless LAN Controller Guide De Montage

AP Manager Interface IP Address

Enter the IP address of the access point manager 
interface.

The AP manager interface manages all Layer 3 
communications between the controller and 
lightweight access points after the access points 
have joined the controller.

Virtual Gateway IP Address

Enter the IP address of the controller’s virtual 
interface. You should enter a fictitious, 
unassigned IP address, such as 1.1.1.1.

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.

Mobility/RF Group Name

If desired, enter the name of the mobility 
group/RF group to which you want the controller 
to belong.

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 
redundancy while an RF group facilitates 
scalable, system-wide dynamic RF management.

Network Name (SSID)

Enter the network name, or service set identifier 
(SSID). This is the default SSID that the access 
points use when they join a controller.

Allow Static IP Addresses

Enter YES to allow clients to assign their own IP 
address or no to make clients request an IP 
address from a DHCP server. The default setting 
is YES.
