Cisco Catalyst 9100 Series - EWC Day 0 Config

[Music] [Music] welcome to Cisco unboxed I'm Dan Stewart engineer here with an our Inger Micro business transformation center today we're going to take a look at the Cisco 9100 series access points loaded with the embedded Wireless LAN controller software this is one of the modes you can now run within the access point as a wireless controller for other access points this new embedded wireless controller option is something that you may have heard the idea before from Cisco and its prior generation actually was called Cisco mobility Express so they're taking that idea of access points operating as both a client serving device and an access point as a manager and now have put it into the Cisco Catalyst wireless access points as well one of the options we want to showcase in this demonstration today is how we can get an access point that is preloaded with the embedded wireless controller out of the box and using the command line interface get it ready to go for a day zero configuration and ready to load that GUI interface to manage our access point as a manager from there so to start out with we do have our console interface configured here it's running just through a couple background set ups as we're just waiting for us to give it some input so let's take it from there once you do go into the access point and if you don't interface with it right away you'll be met with a little prompt that says hey please run the day zero device provisioning now there are different ways to go ahead and configure this device one option will be using the air provisioning software that's really a broadcast of wireless from the access point to your client device and that administering a lot of the configuration from a GUI platform that's built automatically as a setup for day 0 over a wireless mechanism but today like we said we're going to take a look at what happens if I you know want to do it from my try to in true command-line way out of the box for the access point so first off in order to kick this we're going to put it into an enable mode and run the command set up again this is something you can do if you didn't answer the prompt right upon the powering on of the access point once we hit set up we'll say yes to continue with our configuration dialog and then yes we do want to enter that basic management setup what we're gonna be met with there is what is our wireless hostname so we're gonna put I like doing the convention of 91 15 embedded wireless LAN controller and then since this is the controller or the the main managing access point of our other client access points I'm just going to give it the name of while control in that description we will enable the secrets this one will keep as cisco one two three cisco one two three four are enable password and then cisco one two three to satisfy our virtual termination password or terminal password no SNMP for this design here we're gonna hit no for that and then we're gonna be met with what is the current IP address of the access point now so it is powered by PUA it is getting an IP address from the network that it is assigned to when we did put it on the 18 network and the way our DHCP scopes are assigned is that everything from a dot 100 IP address and above will be reserved for DHCP which is why it's pulling down the 108 IP address so we do want to now start tying this interface which is to be the only interface on the device from network connectivity standpoint as a IP addressed interface we can leave it as DHCP or we'll see what happens next and you do have to be very explicit by typing out that entire string of the interface we do want to configure configure an IP address on this interface so we will hit yes and then we do want to move it off of our DHCP range into our reserved range which will this case will put a dot ten IP address on the eighteen Network keep the subnet mask looking that's good there and then once you've entered those parameters you're now going to have a point to review everything you just done so we can see the host name here is where we've changed it our secret and password you know we can change the head of the later date but for our demo purposes Cisco 1-2-3 works for this our one interface that we do have now is setup with a 18 dot 10 static IP address for this system so I'm going to go ahead and say that of the three different options we can do for this solution we do want to go ahead and save this configuration and exit once we do apply that it will do a building of the configuration start applying those settings to our system and will now get us into a state where we want to go and see if we can manage this from the web GUI now that we've established its new settings from the council interface first thing we will notice is that yes the hostname has in fact been absorbed we have changed it to this and it is being a properly applied here for this system if we do a show version real quick we will showcase that this is running version 16 dot 12 which is the first version of the mobility express software able to be installed with this access point solution so we do know that this is where we're starting our journey from and again subsequent releases will improve upon that so if we do show running brief we can just get a quick review to make sure everything we have applied is going to be where we want it to be version here is 16 12 would you see our hostname we are seeing in the background here is starting to be added as a manager password and solution for our system so we're starting to soak in all those changes we can then see here that our interface of gigabit 0 is still giving us the 18 10 that we're looking for out of the solution defaults the IP route to the gigabit ethernet 0 in face for this system and I think I scrolled too far I want to see if it does give us there we go everything we need there it looks good from here oh that's what I wanted to show so by default because this system is getting ready for its day zero provisioning you would see that this type of username and password is going to be part of the air provisioning system with that wireless network that is created as the year provision design so this will be a default username and password when enacting that air provision wizard on that side but for now we didn't apply in a username and password explicitly so it's just going to give us that information of ready to build out our system defaults to an NTP server shows all of our line creations for accessibility based on the passwords we set up beginning and it still give us this notice here about welcome to the interface and please complete day zero provisioning so if we do look we still have under our networks from our network adapters we now will see that the cisco air provision broadcast from the access point is ready and waiting for us still with this configuration so even though we've done add a zero design with the command line it's still looking to say that we'll hey we still want you to go through the air provision that's broadcasted from the access point join this with that web user ID and password to get into this environment ID administer this solution that way but we're gonna say for our design and purpose here that we still just want to live through the GUI R the command line and go to town with our working solution so at this point if we go ahead to try and get into our IP address so one day to that one sixty eight dot so we said eighteen dot ten well notice that it is actually changing it to a my Wi-Fi data cisco.com which is really where the air provisioning app is looking to redirect us once we've actually joined that broadcast wireless SSID so right now in our current command line state we've not been able to access the GUI at this point so I'm gonna go back here and say ok we see the settings are where they need to be I'm actually going to go and write this to memory and we'll notice that now the de xira wireless config is done so we've actually had to explicitly say I'm going to write memory to the configuration that we wanted to make sure that this access point is going to be accessible moving past the broadcast of the air provisioning and use it from the command line and making sure we're doing everything explicitly with our own control in the solution so I'm going to do a quick ping here to see when this access point does come up webs ups if we actually tell it to ping there we go all right so now we're seeing a reply if a ping looks good here and I will now try to go back to our interface and here we are able to get into that interface hit the advance button proceed as always and now we're met with a username and password so without enacting the right memory configuration there was really no way that the system would know you've completed or once you essentially bypassed the days your wireless configuration now we'll do a show run brief again because there is one thing we do want to take a look out for and once it does come up here we will notice that the IP address is where it needs to be the classifier looks good but we've actually removed any username so that days your username of web user ID or a web UID it has been purged so there is no actual user names because we've not configured that in our day zero design going from the command line so we will create a user named madman and give it a privilege of 15 and we'll give it a secret of one two three keep it very nice and easy there we'll apply it and and that and we'll write that down all right so a build the configuration and if we go back here we try to get into admin and now we will do our password that we just created and now we are able to get into our web user interface stemming from the day zero configuration of the command line and from here we can get to town configuring the rest of our access points
