Using the MAR3200 in Mobile Environments
Step 2
Use the show ip route command to verify the routing table on each router. From the FA, you should be
able to ping 10.10.10.1, which is the loopback address of the HA.
able to ping 10.10.10.1, which is the loopback address of the HA.
Configuring IP Address, DHCP, and VLAN on the MR
To configure the IP address, the DHCP, and the VLAN on the MR, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Connect to and log in to the MR.
Step 2
Create a loopback interface and assign IP address:
MR1(config)# Interface loopback 0
Step 3
Create VLAN 2 in VLAN database using the vlan database command. Configure VLAN 1 and VLAN
2 interface. VLAN 1 is used for 2.4 GHz WMIC2 (W2) acting as AP and VLAN 2 is for 4.9GHz WMIC
(W3). Configure FA2/0, FA2/1 and FA2/3 to be in VLAN 1, and FA 2/2 to be in VLAN 2.
2 interface. VLAN 1 is used for 2.4 GHz WMIC2 (W2) acting as AP and VLAN 2 is for 4.9GHz WMIC
(W3). Configure FA2/0, FA2/1 and FA2/3 to be in VLAN 1, and FA 2/2 to be in VLAN 2.
Step 4
Configure the wireless client’s DHCP pool:
MR1(config)# ip dhcp pool mypool
MR1(dhcp-config)# network 10.40.10.0 /28
MR1(dhcp-config)# default-router 10.40.10.1
MR1(dhcp-config)# ip dhcp excluded-address 10.40.10.1 10.40.10.3
Configuring a 2.4GHz Access Point on the MR
To configure a 2.4GHz access point on the MR, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Connect the console cable between the PC and the console port for 2.4GHz WMIC2 (W2) and log into
it using the default password.
it using the default password.
Step 2
Configure the IP address on BVI interface and the default gateway. Verify the management connection
between WMIC and MARC:
between WMIC and MARC:
MR1(config-if)# ip address
network interface address netmask
MR1(config-if)# exit
MR1(config)# ip default-gateway
address of default gateway
MR1(config)# exit
MR1# show ip interface brief
Step 3
Configure radio interface to have AP station role and SSID home pod#:
MR1(config)#
interface Dot11Radio0
MR1(config-if)#
ssid home
pod#
MR1(config-if)#
authentication open
MR1(config-if)# channel 6
