Start by transfering new code to the Wireless LAN Controller. Initiate predownloading by doing the following. Basically you’re setting the new SW as backup, and telling the APs to download the new SW, before setting the backup SW as primary.

This will force authenticating clients to use DHCP. If clients are configured with a static IP address, they are not allowed to authenticate to the SSID.

I have been doing a lot of Aeroscout RTLS lately. For testing purposes I’ve configured an Autonomous AP, for use with local installation of Aeroscout Location Engine.

Contrary to most standalone WLCs from Cisco (2504, 3504, 5520, and so on), the Mobility Express controller GUI is simpler and more modest. There are not as many configuration options compared to the standalone controllers.
Below is are the three CLI commands to disable AironetIE on Mobility Express controller

Being a newbie in the world of Network Engineering, I had never worked with one before. So when the opportunity to debug one came, I made the decision to spend some time looking into it.
Ten of these routers were bought for a customer, who required internet connectivity in remote locations, where it wasn’t possible to install a fixed line.
Saying that I had never worked with a 819G router before, is a bit of a lie. After the consultant in charge of this project left the company, I took over with configuring the routers. He had prepared a template, which was ready to be loaded on to the router. So it was easy-peasy preparing the routers when the customer was ready for the next. Or so it seemed…
