Configuring Cisco Wireless
Using the SDM/HTTP
Configuring through the SDM is absolutely the easiest way to go for wireless configurations.
Basically, all you charge to do to accompany up an admission point is to aloof about-face it on. But if you do have
a wireless agenda in your router, you’ll charge to configure it aloof as I showed you in the previous
section.
This is my router assuming that I can configure the wireless agenda I accept installed in aperture 3:
There absolutely isn’t too abundant you can do from aural SDM itself, but if I were to bang the Edit
Interface/Connection tab and again bang Summary, I could accredit and attenuate the interface, as well
as bang the Edit button, which would acquiesce me to add NAT, admission lists, and so on, to the interface:
From either the Create Connection awning apparent beforehand or the awning that appears back you click
the Edit button of the additional screen, you can bang Launch Wireless Application. This will accessible a
new HTTP awning that your wireless accessory is configured from alleged the Express Set-up screen.
This is the aforementioned awning you would see if you aloof typed HTTP into an admission point—one like
my 1242AP. The SDM will be acclimated with wireless interfaces for monitoring, for accouterment statistics,
and for accepting admission into the wireless agreement approach on a router that has wireless
interfaces. This is so we don’t accept to use the CLI for the adamantine configurations.
Again, you can configure alone some basal advice from here. But from the abutting screen,
Wireless Express Security, you can configure the wireless AP in either bridging approach or routing
mode—a absolutely air-conditioned feature!
The abutting awning shows the wireless interfaces and the basal settings:
This is the additional allotment of the Wireless Interfaces screen:
Under the Wireless Aegis branch is absolutely area HTTP administration shines! You can
configure encryption, add SSIDs, and configure your RADIUS server settings.
Now, if you were to aloof HTTP in to the 1242AG AP, you’ll see this screen:
This looks amazingly like the APs you’ll acquisition in your ISR routers, and you can configure the
same accessories and aegis too.
