23 WSS overview 23 Software features WLAN 2300 System Software (WSS Software) provides a combination of standard wired LAN features and wireless LAN features that enable you to integrate the switch into your wired network and provide network access for wired or wireless users. Management features Serial and network command-line interface (CLI) access You can access the CLI through a direct serial connection or through the network using Secure Shell (SSH) or Telnet. WLAN Management Software management application WLAN Management Software is an extensive GUI application for planning, configuring, deploying, and managing a Nortel network and its users. WLAN Management Software uses Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) to interact with WSS Software. Software and configuration management You can store multiple software images and configuration files in the WSS s nonvolatile storage. Web View manager Web View is a Web-based application for configuring and managing a single WSS through a Web browser. Web View creates a secure connection by using Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS). Layer 2 switching features Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) WSS Software supports Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST+). PVST+ allows a separate spanning tree in each virtual LAN (VLAN). Optional fast convergence features allow you to quickly resume traffic forwarding after a topology change. Load-sharing port groups You can configure multiple physical ports into a single logical link for traffic load sharing and physical link redundancy. Virtual LANs (VLANs) WSS Software supports logical segmentation of a switch s ports into separate Layer 2 broadcast domains. A port can be a member of one or more VLANs. Each VLAN can have its own IP interface. WSS Software supports the 802.1Q tag format. Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping for multicast containment The WSS can learn about the multicast sources and receivers in the network and restrict forwarding for a multicast group to the users for that group. IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 are supported. IP services IP interfaces You can configure an IP interface for each VLAN. IP ping and traceroute You can test IP connectivity between the WSS and other devices. Domain Name Service (DNS) You can configure the switch to use DNS servers for name resolution. You also can configure a default domain name to append to hostnames. Network Time Protocol (NTP) A WSS can sets its time and date by polling an NTP server. System log A WSS generates log messages to log system events. The log messages are stored locally and also can be exported to syslog servers. Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series Installation and Basic Configuration Guide

24 24 WSS overview Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) A WSS can be configured to generate SNMP traps for major system events. Authentication, authorization, and accounting 802.1X A WSS can authenticate users based on 802.1X protocols. Based on authentication, users are assigned VLAN membership, access control, and roaming boundaries. MAC authentication If a device does not support 802.1X, you can configure authentication based on the source MAC address to assign VLAN membership, access control, and roaming boundaries. Guest authentication Guests can be authenticated by a shared set of authorization attributes that assign VLAN membership, access control, and roaming boundaries. Local and remote authentication You can authenticate users locally using information configured on the WSS, or use a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server. When you use a remote server, the WSS can enhance performance by performing some of the AAA tasks locally or distributing the load across multiple servers. Roaming AP roaming You can configure the WSS to allow users to roam from one AP to another on the same WSS. Mobility Domain roaming You also can configure a group of WSSs to allow users to roam from one switch to another. Regardless of the wired subnet connections, each user maintains the same IP address and session across the network. Session management You can display session information and statistics for users. RF management RF Auto-Tuning WSS Software can automatically assign channels and power settings to APs based on RF information collected from the network. Radio frequency (RF) topology With WLAN Management Software, you can verify site coverage and capacity. Rogue detection and countermeasures APs can be used to gather RF information for validating an RF deployment plan, and for detecting and combatting rogue access points. User-based RF You can gather statistics on a per-user basis as users roam across the network. NN ( D Version 01.02)

37 Installing and connecting a WSS 37 Installation requirements and recommendations For best results, follow these requirements and recommendations before installing a WSS. WLAN Management software network plan If you are using WLAN Management Software to plan your Nortel WLAN 2300 System installation, Nortel recommends that you create and verify a network plan for the entire Nortel network installation before installing WSSs or APs. A network plan provides the following information: Number of WSSs required at your site, and where to install them Number of APs required for adequate WLAN capacity in each coverage area, and where to install them Configuration settings for all the WSSs and APs in the WLAN, which can be automatically deployed to the devices by WLAN Management Software. (For information about installing WLAN Management Software and creating and verifying a network plan, see the Nortel WLAN Management Software User s Guide.) Installation location Caution! For installations in Japan: Provide an earthing connection before you connect the mains plug to the mains. When disconnecting the earthing connection, make sure to disconnect only after you pull out the mains plug for the mains. Caution! Do not stack 2350 switches. Stacked 2350 switches can overheat and cause loss of equipment functionality or permanent damage. Caution! Ensure adequate airflow around 2350 switches. The 2350 switch uses natural convection cooling and requires free entry of air. Airflow blockage can cause the system to overheat and result in a loss of equipment functionality or permanent damage switch fans and air inlets are located on the sides of the switch. 2360/2361 switch fans are located in the rear of the switch and air inlets are located on the sides of the switch. In the 2380 switches, separate power supply fans are located on the front. Make sure these areas have adequate ventilation after installation. Do not block air vents.

47 Installing and connecting a WSS 47 Powering on a WSS Warning! The WSS relies on the building s installation for overcurrent protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15 A U.S. (240 VAC, 10 A international) is used on the phase conductors. Caution! If a 2350 or 2360/2361 is connected to Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), it is possible for the switch to remain powered on even when the power cord is unplugged. PSE can be a dedicated PoE injector or even another networking switch such as the WSS that is capable of supplying PoE. To completely power off a 2350 or 2360/2361, unplug the power cord, then unplug all Ethernet cables that are connected to other PoE devices. Powering on a 2360/2361, or 2380 To power on a 2360/2361, 2380 switch: 1 Make sure any insertable power supply is fully seated in the WSS. 2 For each power supply that you are using on the WSS, attach a power cord to an AC power source. Note. If the WSS has two power supplies, use a separate AC power source for each supply to add redundancy. If one power source fails, the switch can continue to operate using the other power source. 3 Plug each power cord into a WSS power supply. The WSS begins booting as soon as you plug in the power cord(s). 4 Observe the power supply LED for each connected power supply to verify that the LED is steadily glowing green. This indicates normal power supply operation. 5 On the 2380 switch only, wait a few seconds, then observe the Mgmt LED to verify that it is breathing (repeatedly flashing bright green, then fading) to indicate that the WSS has successfully booted and is operating normally.

48 48 Installing and connecting a WSS Powering on a 2350 To power on a 2350 switch: 1 Plug the power supply into an AC power source. 2 Plug the power supply into the Power port. The LED turns green when the 2350 is receiving power. Connecting to a serial management console Initial configuration of the WSS requires a connection to the switch s CLI through the serial console port. Figure 11 shows how to install a serial cable on a switch. The procedure is the same for the 2350, 2360, 2361, or 2380 switch. Refer to this figure as you perform the procedure. (For cable requirements, see Serial console cable on page 38.) Figure 11. Serial Cable Installation Serial port Serial cable Serial port on computer To connect a PC to the serial console port: 1 Insert the serial cable into the PC port as shown in Figure Insert the other end of the cable into the serial console port on the WSS as shown in Figure Start a standard VT100 terminal emulation application on the PC, and configure the following modem settings: 9600 bps 8 bits 1 stop No parity Hardware flow control off or disabled NN ( D Version 01.02)

49 Installing and connecting a WSS 49 4 Open a connection on a serial port. If the WSS is already powered on, press Enter three times to display a command prompt: 2380> Note. For simplicity, the command prompt examples in the documentation show the CLI access level (> for restricted access or # for enabled access) only. The default command prompt on your WSS shows your switch s model number and also contains the last three octets of the switch s MAC address. For example, the default command prompt on a 2360 switch with MAC address 00:0B:0E:00:04:0A is WSS A>. If a command prompt does not appear, go to Troubleshooting a serial management connection. To quickly perform basic setup of the WSS, see the Nortel WLAN 2300 System Software Quick Start Guide For syntax descriptions, additional configuration, and a glossary of terms, see the Nortel WLAN 2300 System Software Command Reference and the Nortel WLAN 2300 System Software Configuration Guide Troubleshooting a serial management connection 1 Verify that the WSS is powered on. 2 Verify that the serial cable is fully inserted in the PC and WSS ports. 3 Verify that the correct modem settings are configured in the terminal emulation application: 9600 bps 8 bits 1 stop No parity Hardware flow control off or disabled 4 Verify that you opened the connection on the PC port connected to the WSS. For example, if you inserted the cable in PC port COM1, make sure you open the connection on COM1 instead of COM2 or another port. If none of the previous steps results in a management connection, use another serial cable. Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series Installation and Basic Configuration Guide

51 Installing and connecting a WSS 51 For connection to another switch, use a crossover cable. (For cable requirements, see Network cables on page 39.) Note. The 10/100 Ethernet ports on the 2360/2361 switches provide automatic MDI/MDX. 2 If the cable is directly attached to an AP: For a first-time installation, set the port type to activate the link. (For information, see Setting the Port Type in the Nortel WLAN 2300 System Software Configuration Guide If the port type is already set for an AP, observe the appearance of the AP LED for the port: AP LED Appearance Solid green Alternating green and amber Solid amber Blinking amber Unlit Meaning For an AP s active link, with PoE enabled, all the following are true: AP has booted. AP has received a valid configuration from the WSS. Management link with an AP is operational. For an AP s secondary link, the link is present. AP is booting with an image received from the WSS. PoE is on, but no AP is connected to the link. AP is unresponsive or there is a PoE problem. PoE is off. 3 If the cable is attached to a wired end station that uses AAA through the WSS to access the network: For a first-time installation, set the port type to activate the link. (For information, see Setting a Port for a Wired Authentication User in the Nortel WLAN 2300 System Software Configuration Guide If the port type is already set for a wired authentication port, go on to step 4. 4 If the cable is directly attached to a device other than an AP: a Observe the appearance of the Link LED for the port: Link LED Appearance Solid green Solid amber Blinking green Blinking amber Unlit Meaning 100-Mbps link is operational. 10-Mbps link is operational.

59 59 WSS troubleshooting Table 13 contains remedies for some common problems that can occur during basic installation and setup of a WSS. Table 13: WSS Setup Problems and Remedies Symptom Diagnosis Remedy WLAN Management Software or a web browser (if you are using Web View) warns that the WSS s certificate date is invalid. WSS does not accept configuration information for an AP or a radio. The switch s time and date are currently incorrect, or were incorrect when you generated the self-signed certificate or certificate request. The country code might not be set or might be set for another country. 1. Use set timezone to set the time zone in which you are operating the switch. (See Setting the Time Zone in the the Nortel WLAN 2300 System Software Configuration Guide.) 2. Use set timedate to configure the current time and date in that time zone. (See Statically Configuring the System Time and Date in the Nortel WLAN 2300 System Software Configuration Guide.) 3. Reconfigure the administrative certificate(s). (See Creating Keys and Certificates in the in the Nortel WLAN 2300 System Software Configuration Guide.) 4. If you have already configured a certificate on the switch for authentication by network users, you must recreate this certificate, too. 1. Type the show system command to display the country code configured on the switch. 2. If the value in the System Countrycode field is NONE or is for a country other than the one in which you are operating the switch, use the set system countrycode command to configure the correct country code. (See Specifying the Country of Operation in the Nortel WLAN 2300 System Software Configuration Guide.) Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series Installation and Basic Configuration Guide

60 60 WSS troubleshooting Client cannot access the network. Configuration information disappears after a software reload. Mgmt LED is quickly blinking amber. CLI stops at boot prompt (boot>). Table 13: WSS Setup Problems and Remedies (continued) Symptom Diagnosis Remedy This symptom has more than one possible cause: The client might be failing authentication or might not be authorized for a VLAN. If the client and switch configurations are correct, a VLAN might be disconnected. A client connected to a VLAN that is disconnected is unable to access the network. The configuration changes were not saved. The WSS was unable to load the system image file. 1. Type the show aaa command to check the authentication rules on the WSS, to ensure that the client can be authenticated. 2. Check the authorization rules in the switch s local database (show aaa) or on the RADIUS servers to ensure the client is authorized to join a VLAN that is configured on at least one of the WSS switches in the Mobility Domain. 1. Type the show vlan config command to check the status of each VLAN. 2. If a VLAN is disconnected (VLAN state is Down), check the network cables for the VLAN s ports. At least one of the ports in a VLAN must have a physical link to the network for the VLAN to be connected. 1. Retype the commands for the missing configuration information. 2. Type the save config command to save the changes. Type the boot command at the boot prompt. NN ( D Version 01.02)
