5. Funcionament del controlador
5.1 Configuració inicial
After physical installation and power-up, access the controller via the console port using a terminal emulator (e.g., PuTTY, Tera Term) with appropriate serial settings (typically 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control). Follow the on-screen prompts for initial setup, including IP address assignment and basic network parameters.
5.2 Web Interface and CLI Management
Once configured with an IP address, the controller can be managed via its web-based graphical user interface (GUI) or through the command-line interface (CLI) via SSH/Telnet or the console port. Refer to the Cisco documentation for detailed configuration guides on managing access points, creating WLANs, and setting up security policies.
