Alright, we're going to wrap up here by taking a look at where we configure
certain elements
that we took a look at with iOS Xe and where we configure those with arrow s,
especially
things like our mobility group and our f group and so on and so forth.
So we'll start with mobility here.
We're going to go over to controller and here on the general tab, we're going
to find that
we're part of this default mobility domain name.
Now, interestingly, Cisco's calling this the mobility domain name, but this is
actually
the mobility group.
So if I want to change the mobility group name from home to home one or WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So if I want to change the mobility group name from home to home one or
something like
that, I could do that.
I could click apply here and then we'll see where that name changes.
Specifically, if I look over here on the left under mobility management, I go
to mobility
groups and we'll see now that my local mobility group is home one, I go back to
general, put
it back to home, apply mobility groups, and now we're back to being part of the
home group.
Importantly, here's where we add all of our mobility group peers.
Remember, we have to add these individually. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
Remember, we have to add these individually.
There's two ways we can add them.
I can click new and add the member IP and MAC address.
So something like 1.2.3.4 and the MAC address could be, I don't know, 0, 0, 0,
0.
You got to add in the whole thing here.
There we go.
There's a MAC address.
As part of the same group name, click apply and there we go.
It is listed now as a peer and it's trying to reach out, find the control and
data path
or down because that peer doesn't actually exist.
The other thing we can do, whoops, I have to scroll over now, is to click this WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
The other thing we can do, whoops, I have to scroll over now, is to click this
edit all
button.
If I do that, it turns it into more or less a text document and I could paste
in all of
my mobility group peers, maybe in a much more efficient fashion.
So this is just an option we have.
We can also edit these if we had a typo with one of the MAC addresses.
I could just come in here rather than removing it and trying to re-add it.
As well, we also have the concept of multi-cast messaging in here.
We mentioned that mobility groups as they grow should be converted over to
multi-cast WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
multi-cast
communication.
I can enable it here, enter the group address, whatever maybe 239.something
that I'm using
for the sake of multi-cast messaging.
So that is our multi- or our mobility groups.
Next is our, has to do with RF configurations.
So coming back to the general tab here, we do see that we have an RF group name
.
So remember, RF groups are supposed to define when we have controllers that
should expect
to work together from an RF perspective.
It makes it so that we can work together to manage our radio resource WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
It makes it so that we can work together to manage our radio resource
management, our
RRM.
And so this is also called home, just something that is created during setup.
We can change it here if we so desire.
Meanwhile I can go over to the wireless tab and this is where most of our RF
configuration
is done.
And so importantly, notice that we've got 802.11a and an AC here, as well as BG
and N. If I expand
one of these at the very top of both of them, by the way, will be the network
option.
If I click this, I can see whether or not it's enabled. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
If I click this, I can see whether or not it's enabled.
Now be careful here because again, it's a little bit legacy.
We're talking about this being the five gigahertz side of things versus the 2.4
gigahertz.
And sometimes it just refers to it at 802.11a and so on and so forth.
Although these are a lot of 802.11a settings, for example, we have the legacy
data rate sitting
over here, we can disable or enable it here.
Meanwhile if I want to do something with our, our N or AC, I can come all the
way down here
to high throughput.
And this is where we see an AC enablement, as well as all the individual MCS WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
And this is where we see an AC enablement, as well as all the individual MCS
indices.
So that would be also true for BGN network.
This is more of a BG concept, whereas high throughput here would be 802.11N,
keeping
in mind that 802.11AC didn't actually support the 2.4 gigahertz band.
Furthermore, we can see that there's RRM here.
So RRM is split up by band.
So again, this is referring to the five gigahertz band.
I can look at my RF grouping here is where we can set, again, whether we want WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
I can look at my RF grouping here is where we can set, again, whether we want
to elect
a leader, if I want specific controllers to be the leader, I've got my transmit
power
control, my dynamic channel assignment options, which channels are eligible.
I can change my coverage hold detection here or at least disable it, change the
thresholds
and so on and so forth.
So we have all of the same options that we covered with iOS XE.
And again, in AROS, a lot of them are going to be under wireless.
Lastly, we do have the concept of the RF profile.
Scroll up here, we see RF profiles. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
Scroll up here, we see RF profiles.
A lot of our iOS XE constructs didn't exist with AROS, but hey, RF profiles did
.
And it's basically the same thing.
I can click new here, create a profile name CBTN.
And I do have to decide whether this is a five gigahertz or 2.4 gigahertz
policy.
But when I click apply here, I can see that I can come over to RRM.
I can change the thresholds.
Just like with iOS XE, this is a way that I can override whether or not, or WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
Just like with iOS XE, this is a way that I can override whether or not, or
like the
global RRM settings.
So if I want specific access points to behave differently, then I can override
them with
an RF profile as it relates to radio resource management.
So for example, I'm just going to click apply here.
I've got my RF profile.
Now I can go over to WLANs, look at my AP group, and then click on my group.
And we see an RF profile tab here.
I can simply select CBTN in the 802.11a drop down. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
I can simply select CBTN in the 802.11a drop down.
So again, just some things to cover as far as mobility groups and RF groups, RF
profiles
and so on and so forth.
There's certainly some controller level configurations we should be aware of
and how we go about
doing that in AroS.
