Chapter 1 About this Guide

This chapter covers the following topics:

• Scope
• Audience
  • Related Documents

1.1.Scope

This document provides instructions and examples for the configuration of Aruba wireless mesh routers through the Web-based Management Interface (WMI), and the document's scope is limited to such. For information on wireless mesh routers' Command Line Interface (CLI) or other subjects, please refer to the Aruba Mesh Router CLI Configuration Guide and/or related documents.

Note: All screen shots displayed in this document are captured using an MSR2000 and are for demonstration purposes only. The exact screen output may vary depending on the model of the router used as well as your browser and system settings.

1.2. Audience

This document is intended for a system/IT or network administrator who is responsible for configuring or maintaining wireless mesh routers. This guide assumes the user has knowledge of wireless, wired, Layer-2, and Layer-3 networking technologies, and is comfortable with the use of an internet browser.

1.3. Related Documents

For more information about the wireless mesh routers, please refer to the following documents:

- Aruba Mesh Router CLI Configuration Guide

Chapter 2 Web Configuration Overview

The Web-based Management Interface (WMI) allows administrators to manage wireless mesh routers from a remote location conveniently and efficiently in a graphical interface accessible from most modern internet browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.

The basic software requirement for the web-interface is:

• Web Browser: Internet Explorer 5.5 and above with Javascript enabled

• Optimal Resolution: 1024 X 768 and above

2.1. Getting Started

This chapter introduces the basic functionality and layout of the Web-based Management Interface. It contains the following topics:

- Logging into the Web-based Management Interface

- WMI Basics

2.1.1. Logging into the Web-based Management Interface

To log in the web interface of a MESH ROUTER product, input the wireless mesh router's IP address, such as X.X.X.X in the web browser address.

If the device is in factory default state, there are two methods to access the device using web interface. One method is to configure Management IP address on the interface vlan 1, which is configured to obtain IP address using DHCP in factory default. You need to use the USB console to set a static IP address on the interface VLAN 1. After this, the WMI can be accessed by the management IP address.

If the device is in factory default state, the wireless connection is another method of accessing the device. Do not connect anything to the device's Ethernet port and then power it on. The default SSID of the BSS of the device is a hidden SSID "ArubaDefault". Because the default SSID is hidden and there is no DHCP service, a wireless laptop has to be manually configured to associate to this default BSS on the device using a static IP address on the 192.168.216.0/24 network. After it finishes association, the WMI should be accessible at http://192.168.216.1.

After connecting to the WMI, a pop-up dialog box would appear and request a username and password.

Enter the default username 'root' and password 'public' in the pop-up dialog box. After the successful authentication, the home page for WMI would appear.

User name: root Password: ••••••• Remember my password OK Cancel

Figure 2-1 Logging into Web Management Interface (WMI)

Note: During the log-in process, an option such as "Remember my password" may appear. If this option is enabled, one would not be required to re-enter the username or password when accessing the WMI next time. Please use this option with care.

After successfully logging into the wireless mesh router web management interface, one is lead directly to the System Information as shown in figure below.

Figure 2-2 Web Management Interface Home Page

2.1.2. WMI Basics

The WMI is composed of three components: the title banner (top), the menu tree (left), the configuration area (right), and the locale selector (bottom) as shown in figure below. The title banner shows the model name and the company Logo; the menu tree provides clear, hierarchical navigation to the various configuration areas. Clicking on one of the choices in the menu tree would cause the area on the right to display the specific configurable settings for that menu choice. The locale selector on the bottom allows users to change the current language and locale-specific style used by the WMI. Currently, US English and PRC Chinese are supported.

Chapter 3 Basic Settings

This chapter describes the basic settings to a wireless mesh router.

Figure 6-18 Deleting an Existing IP Address Range

6.2.7. Adding an Fixed IP Assignment

In general, the DHCP protocol assigns unused addresses arbitrarily from each DHCP pool for each client. This behavior allows the number of clients that could access the network to be greater than that of the IP addresses, as long as these clients do not connect at the same time. It also, however, causes the IP address obtained by the same client to vary from session to session. Sometimes, a network administrator or client user may have the need to obtain the same IP address at all times.

Chapter 8 SNMP Configuration

Wireless mesh routers all provide remote management through the popular Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Using SNMP, network management products can read/write configuration and store data on the wireless mesh routers.

This chapter describes how SNMP service can be configured using the web-based management interface. It includes the following sections:

• Configuring Device Information
• Configuring SNMP Communities
• Configuring SNMP Trap Receivers
• Configuring SNMPv3 User Accounts

8.1. Device Info

Select "SNMP" > "Device Info" from the left-side menu tree to enter "Device Info" configuration page. The resulting page is shown below. It displays all of the configured SNMP location and contact information.

8.2. SNMP Communities

SNMP Communities is the basic authentication scheme used by SNMP v1 and v2. Each mesh router may have one or more community strings defined; each string can have an access-mode of read-only or read-write. When the router receives an SNMP command (which is usually a read or a write), it allows the operation if it matches a known community string with a matching access-mode.

8.2.1. Configuring SNMP Communities

Select "SNMP" > "Communities" from the left-side menu tree to enter "SNMP Communities" configuration page. The resulting page displays all of the configured communities and their access modes in a table.
