Chapter 9: Common Configuration Examples

NOTE: For a summary of how SmartPath APs use CAPWAP to discover and connect to SmartPath EMS VMA, see “How SmartPath

APs Connect to SmartPath EMS VMA” in Section 8.4, Connecting SmartPath APs to SmartPath EMS VMA.

Using MAC Addresses

With this approach, you write down the MAC address labelled on the underside of each SmartPath AP and its location while

installing the SmartPath APs throughout the buildings. The MAC address on the label is for the mgt0 interface. Because the MAC

addresses of all SmartPath APs begin with the MAC OUI 008C:10, you only need to record the last six numerals in the address.

For example, if the MAC OUI is 008C:1000:0120, you only need to write "000120" to be able to distinguish it from other

SmartPath APs later.

NOTE: 008C:10 is the Black Box MAC address portion. You need to change this.

1. Make copies of the maps uploaded to SmartPath EMS VMA, label them, and take them along when installing the SmartPath

APs.

2. When you install a SmartPath AP, write the last six digits of its MAC address at its location on the map.

When SmartPath APs automatically connect with SmartPath EMS VMA, SmartPath EMS VMA displays them on the Monitor >

Access Points > SmartPath APs page. You can differentiate them in the displayed list by MAC address (node ID), which allows you

to match the SmartPath APs in the GUI with those you noted during installation so that you can properly assign each one to a

map.

Using SNMP

This approach makes use of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) sysLocation Management Information Base (MIB)

object, which you define on SmartPath APs. SmartPath EMS VMA can use this information to associate a SmartPath AP with a

map and provide a description of where on the map each SmartPath AP belongs.

1. Make copies of the maps you uploaded to SmartPath EMS VMA, label them, and take them with you for reference when

installing the SmartPath APs.

2. For each SmartPath AP that you install, do the following:

2.1 Make a serial connection to the console port, and log in (see "Log in through the console port" in Section 11.1, Example 1:

Deploying a Single SmartPath AP).

2.2 Enter the following command, in which string1 describes the location of the SmartPath AP on the map (in open format)

and string2 is the name of the map:

snmp location string1@string2

For example, if you install a SmartPath AP in the northwest corner on the first floor of Building 1, enter snmp location north-

west_corner@HQ-B1-F1.Ifyouwanttousespacesinthedescription,surroundtheentirestringwithquotationmarks:snmp

location"northwestcorner@HQ-B1-F1".

If you want, you can include some or all of the map hierarchy in the SNMP location string. For example, if a map named "floor-

1" is nested under a higher level map named "building-1", then enter the command as follows: snmp location northwest_cor-

ner@floor-1@building-1 . Similarly, if these two maps are nested under a higher level map named "campus-1", then include that

next higher level in the SNMP location string: snmp location northwest_corner@floor-1@building-1@campus-1. Although

including the map hierarchy is unnecessary to identify a map in SmartPath EMS VMA—all map names must be unique—includ-

ing the map hierarchy in the SNMP location can provide a simple way to check that preconfigured SmartPath APs get distribut-

ed to

various sites correctly before they are installed.

2.3 Mount and cable the SmartPath AP to complete its installation. (For mounting instructions, see the mounting section in the

chapter for the SmartPath AP platform that you are installing.)
