All right, time to jump into arrow s and do pretty much the same thing.
We want to make sure we can configure an s s ID.
This time we'll do 802 dot one X. And again, in my lab environment, I don't
have a radius
server.
So we'll be able to test connectivity.
But the important thing is making sure we know how to go about doing the full
configuration.
So let's go ahead and follow the tasks.
We are to configure an s s ID called arrow s lab.
And we're mapping to the native VLAN again.
So we've got this WLANs tab up here, we're going to work in. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So we've got this WLANs tab up here, we're going to work in.
So we're going to say create new and go.
We'll create the profile name.
Would we say air OS lab.
And then I'll have to type it in again for the s s ID.
All right.
So now I'm going to make sure I enable it.
And remember VLANs are mapped here via the interfaces.
So in a production environment, we don't usually want to use the management
interface.
However, for lab purposes, that is perfectly fine.
So when we're told to map this to a particular VLAN, this is how we go about WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So when we're told to map this to a particular VLAN, this is how we go about
doing it.
So if we need to create our interfaces, we go to controller.
And then over here on the left, we have our interfaces and we can create
dynamic interfaces
via this configuration prop.
So let's go back to WLANs and get back into our WLAN we created.
Again, we'll enable it here.
And then we are needing to configure security.
So now remember, this is important for air OS.
If we're told to configure 802.1x or WPA enterprise, we don't do it here by WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
If we're told to configure 802.1x or WPA enterprise, we don't do it here by
selecting
802.1x.
This is a legacy option.
Instead, we're going to leave this at WPA and WPA2 or again, WPA2 and WPA3.
Make sure the appropriate policies are enabled.
And down here is where we enable 802.1x.
Or not done at this point, we have to configure our AAA servers and we just don
't have any
configured yet.
And so we can go ahead and apply.
And now we go to the security tab.
Remember with iOSXE, you go to the AAA section. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
Remember with iOSXE, you go to the AAA section.
Here AAA is under security as well.
So we're going to go to our radio server authentication and just click new.
We're going to add in our server IP address.
This is just a dummy address.
Secret, CBTN, 1234, confirm that and apply.
So now we've got a radio server.
I can go back to my WLAN once again, go to my security tab and again, make sure
that 802.1x WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
that 802.1x
is selected here.
Go over to AAA servers and now I can select my server here.
So from here, I will click apply and now my WLAN is running WPA2 with 802.1x.
So it's nice to verify here on the security policies section.
So next we're told to pay attention to our AP groups.
So remember, AP groups are kind of hidden in this interface.
For whatever reason, they're under advanced on the WLAN tab that we're on. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
For whatever reason, they're under advanced on the WLAN tab that we're on.
So I expand advanced, click AP groups.
All access points and WLANs.
So my access point here, my WLAN here, all of them are going to by default go
into this
default AP group, which is really nice because if I don't really know what's
happening under
the surface, then all I know is I've got a bunch of APs on my controller.
I create a bunch of WLANs and magically they all just go out and into the
broadcasting.
And that's nice for spinning up an environment. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
And that's nice for spinning up an environment.
So a whole lot easier just to get an SSID broadcasting in ROS than iOS XE for
this purpose.
However, it doesn't give us a whole lot of control, especially if we have a lot
of different
buildings and a lot of different groups of APs.
So let's go back to AP groups.
We'll say add group in the top right.
We'll just call this CBT and lab.
Click our group and now we are responsible for selecting which WLANs I'm going
to say
add new and we'll add arrow s lab. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
add new and we'll add arrow s lab.
We can't change the interface by the way, which is important potentially on a
site by
site basis, but we'll just say add here.
And then I'm going to go to APs and this is going to knock the access point
offline because
it has to come back up using all of the new configuration that we just gave it.
And so it actually gets us out of the configuration.
So we could go actually, let's just go to the wireless tab and we'll wait here
for the
access point to come online.
Okay, the AP is back online.
So let's go back to WLANs and make sure it is in the correct AP group. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So let's go back to WLANs and make sure it is in the correct AP group.
So we go to the default group now, go to APs see that it's not in the group
currently,
but I could add it in the same way I just added it to the other group.
We don't want to do that.
We want to come in here and confirm that it is indeed in the correct group and
it is
in our CBT and lab group.
So AP groups are a big part of how arrow s operates.
It's very different from the way we do things in iOS XC with the tags in the
profile.
But either way, the goal is to take our configuration set and control which WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
But either way, the goal is to take our configuration set and control which
access points are pushing
them out to.
And there's just two different ways of doing that.
So once we kind of get a feel for the architecture as well as making sure we
know how to configure
security parameters, then getting our SSID's online and operational is
something that will
become more and more familiar with this ends our whole section on wireless.
It's been quite a journey.
We've talked about wireless concepts, security concepts, arrow s configuration,
iOS XC
configuration.
But again, this skill in particular, it would be a really good one to review WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
But again, this skill in particular, it would be a really good one to review
later on as
you're preparing maybe doing your final exam prep just to make sure we can
answer some of
these quiz questions that we talked about, make sure we remember the concepts,
but also
be able to get into the arrow s and iOS XC configuration user interfaces and
make sure
we know how to do these configurations.
I hope there's been informative for you and I'd like to thank you for viewing.
