Introduction Your integration company has been asked to configure the new 3850, including wireless capabilities, for a company called Example.com. Example is moving away from legacy equipment and would like you to configure a prototype for a wireless environment. Example.com plans to have only corporate users connect to the network wirelessly, and expects to grow to forty access points over the next four years. The customer would like to implement the Cisco 3850 Unified Access Switch. Your job is to set up the 3850, build a corporate WLAN, and test network access via the WLAN. One of the key requirements of the customer is that the 3850 and wireless configuration be manageable via a GUI. Here is some good news. A junior team member has been helping you get things set up. Under your direction, the following prerequisite tasks have been completed:
• The prototype network has been cabled • The router has been configured for internet reachability and NTP services • The 3750 Core Switch has been configured for network access
Based on the requirements, and with the above prerequisite tasks completed, you will perform the following:
• Configure the 3850 for network access • Configure and access the 3850 GUI • Configure a CAPWAP VLAN to support an AP • Configure Mobility and register an AP with the 3850. • Secure the CAPWAP data between the 3850 and AP • Configure a Corporate WLAN. • Configure a DHCP scope for the Corporate WLAN • Test Corporate WLAN access
Please review the diagrams on the following pages carefully, before proceeding with the lab. It may help to display them on a second window, when completing the lab.

In the resulting console window, hit “enter” until the “Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog?” prompt appears. Enter the commands shown below to skip the initial configuration dialog and enter enable mode, and make sure that this is the only switch. (It is not part of a stack)
No Yes
en show switch
14
October 16th, 2013 Introduction to Wireless on the 3850
Enter the commands below to view the 3850’s current licensing.
show license right-to-use
show license right-to-use summary
Remove the current licensing on the 3850 for AP’s with the command shown below. (If needed; there may be none present.) The AP count “#” you must specify can be found in the show commands you just entered. Remove all current AP licenses, so we can replace them. ***Note: replace # in the command below with the number of current AP license count found in the 3850. Re-enter the previously shown command to find this number if needed.
license right-to-use deactivate apcount # slot 1
15
October 16th, 2013 Introduction to Wireless on the 3850
Enter the command shown below to make sure the AP licenses were removed. Once you have confirmed there are no active licenses on the 3850, activate 5 AP licenses as shown below. show license right-to-use summary
license right-to-use active apcount 5 slot 1 acceptEULA
Check to make sure the AP licenses took affect before moving on. Make sure 5 AP licenses are present. Then take a look at the active feature license on the 3850. show license right-to-use summary
16
October 16th, 2013 Introduction to Wireless on the 3850
***Note: The “lanbase” license does not support wireless functionality on the 3850. Now deactivate the current feature license in the 3850. In the below command exchange “feature***” for “lanbase”, “ipbase”, or “ipservices” depending on the above show command output.
license right-to-use deactivate feature*** all
license right-to-use activate ipbase all acceptEULA
The 3850 will display a message indicating as seen above, that a reboot is required to enact this change. Check the license level one more time, and then proceed with a reboot.
show license right-to-use summary
17
October 16th, 2013 Introduction to Wireless on the 3850
Take note of the “license level on reboot”, and make sure that on reboot the intended “ipbase” license is specified. The 3850 will always allow configurations of wireless and other features that require a higher license lever to work. Understand that just because the commands are present in the 3850, it does not mean they will take effect. ***Note: Both “ipbase” and “ipservices” support wireless. Lanbase does not, although the commands are present in CLI. Before reloading the 3850 to complete the licensing change, enter the command below to check the boot variables. The switch should be set to manual Boot. ***Note: For lab resets, the 3850 has been configured to stop at rommon. Do not alter the boot variable on the 3850. Show boot
Now reload the 3850 with the command shown below. reload
The reload process for the 3850 will take a few moments. The 3850 is built on the IOS-XE platform and will look a little different from classic IOS. When the 3850 reaches the “switch” prompt, enter the command below to boot the device. boot flash:packages.conf
18
October 16th, 2013 Introduction to Wireless on the 3850
When the 3850 is finished booting, enter enable mode. en
19
October 16th, 2013 Introduction to Wireless on the 3850
Confirm the new license level of “ipbase” after the reboot, and 5 “apcount” licenses, using the command below. show license right-to-use summary
Now that the 3850 has an “ipbase” and licensing for 5 aps, it is ready to support wireless configuration and WLANs. Q1.1: What are the three types of feature licenses on the 3850, and which ones support wireless?
20
October 16th, 2013 Introduction to Wireless on the 3850
Q1.2: What other two licenses are required to register access points with the 3850? Make sure you can answer both of these questions before moving on to the next section. It is critical to understand the licenses, and that all commands are present and configurable, even if the licenses required for them to work are not installed.

Test the new L3 link with pings from both sides. From the 3750 console, ping the 3850 with the command below. ping 10.1.101.2
Return to the 3850 console, and test connectivity to the 3750 side address with the following command. Do not proceed with the lab if either of these pings are unsuccessful. ping 10.1.101.1
26
October 16th, 2013 Introduction to Wireless on the 3850
Still on the console of the 3850, configure the following basic parameters.
config t hostname 3850-Switch
no ip domain-lookup ip routing ip domain-name example.com
***Note: On the 3850 and other IOS-XE devices, it is critical to enter the “ip routing” command in order to enable traffic passing through the device to be routed. If this command is missing from the configuration, the 3850 will successfully route its own traffic, but will drop all traversing traffic without a directly connected destination, even if a valid route is present in the routing table. Now configure encrypted passwords, a local user account, and configure timestamps and a server for logging. service password-encryption service timestamp log datetime show-timezone msec service timestamp debug datetime show-timezone msec logging trap debugging logging 10.1.20.254 enable secret cisco123 username admin priv 15 secret cisco123

At this point, we have configured the basics on the 3850. The 3850 has secure access, deliberate VTP and spanning tree configuration, and remote logging. Now configure access to the 3850 GUI with the following commands. config t ip http server exit
***Note: In order to access the GUI of the 3850, there are three prerequisite configurations that are required. The first is enabling the http server functionality, second is IP connectivity to the 3850, and the third is a local admin account. Now, before testing access to the 3850 GUI, attempt to ping the 3850 from the desktop of PC1. Open a console window from the desktop shortcut, and enter the following command. ping 10.1.101.2
35
October 16th, 2013 Introduction to Wireless on the 3850
The test pings to the 3850 have failed because there are no return routes from the device. Go back to the console of the 3850, and enter the following commands to configure a default route to the 3750.
config t ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.101.1 exit copy running-config startup-config
36
October 16th, 2013 Introduction to Wireless on the 3850
Now that the 3850 has a return route for traffic via the 3750, test connectivity from the desktop of PC1, using a ping. ping 10.1.101.2
These pings should be successful. Do not continue in the lab until PC1 can successfully ping the 3850. To access the 3850 GUI, open a Firefox window from the desktop of PC1. Enter the following URL. https://10.1.101.2/wireless
