思科C9800-CL无线控制器 虚拟部署指南

1 介绍
思科C9800-CL 无线控制器虚拟部署指南的目的是提供虚拟部署选项的概述，并提供关于C9800-CL 无线控制器初始设置的说明。

2 步骤
• 配置VMware ESXi 环境 • 安装C9800-CL 无线控制器 • 初始化配置
2.1
配置VMware ESXi 环境
2.1.1 VMware 要求 虚拟机版本
VMware Virtual Machine version 11, minimum of ESXi 6.0 Update 2. C9800-CL 虚拟机要求 建议以下最小虚拟资源需求
The VMware tools required to deploy the controller are as follows:
• VMware vSphere Web Client. The following version is supported:
-
VMware vSphere Web Client 6.0
•
VMware vCenter Server. The following version is supported: -
VMware ESXi 6.0 Update 2 (instance running vm11). This version, which meets the performance benchmarks, is fully tested and recommended.
• VMware vSwitch. Standard or distributed vSwitches are supported.
•
Hard drive. Only a single hard disk drive is supported. Multiple hard disk drives on a VM are not supported.
•
vCPUs. The following vCPU configurations are supported:

- Small Template —4 vCPUs (requires minimum 4-GB RAM allocation) - Medium Template —6 vCPUs (requires minimum 16-GB RAM allocation) - Large Template —10 vCPUs (requires minimum 32-GB RAM allocation)
• Virtual CPU core
• Virtual hard disk space —Minimum 8 GB is required.
•
Virtual Network Interface Cards (vNICs).
2.1.2 Creating a Network Interface on a VM
In ESXi, configure the appropriate networking needed to support C9800-CL WLC. The
recommendation is to use a trunk port for wireless management interface, use an optional access port for the Device Management interface, and use an optional access port for high-availability interface. Such as the example below:
Perform the following steps in the VMware vSphere Client to create a network interface.
Step 1 Log in to the VMware vSphere Client.
Step 2 In the vSphere GUI, select the VM host that will deploy C9800-CL WLC. Click the
Configuration tab.
Step 3 In the Networking area, click Add Networking…
Step 4 Under Connection Type , retain the default settings, and click Next .
Step 5 Under Network Access , select the trunk VM NIC, and Click Next.
The VM NIC uplink switch port must be a “trunk ” mode port.

Step 6 Under Connection Settings , enter a name in the Network Label field. From the VLAN
ID (Optional) drop-down list, choose ‘All (4095)’. And then click Next.
Step 7 Under Summary , confirm the updates and click Finish.
The newly added network interface is now available in the Networking area.
vSwitch Promiscuous Mode
By default, a hypervisor vSwitch is configured to “Reject ” promiscuous mode. If C9800 is using tagged traffic (e.g. management VLAN, AP VLAN, etc.) via management port, promiscuous mode allows the vSwitch to carry tagged tr affic. Therefore configure to “Accept ” promiscuous mode for the vSwitch.

Step 1 Under hypervisor > Configuration > Networking > Networking select vSwitch# being
mapped to the C9800 management interface.
Step 2 Properties> Ports > vSwitch and click Edit.

Installing C9800-CL in a VMware ESXi Environment
Step 1 Log in to the VMware vSphere Client.
Step 2 From the vSphere Client menu, choose File > Deploy OVF Template.

Step 3 In the OVA wizard, select the source of the controller OVA that is to be deployed. Click Next.
Step 4 In the OVA Template details field, click Next.
Step 5 In the Name and Location field, specify the name for the VM and click Next.
Step 6 Under Deployment Configuration , select the required profile from the drop-down list and click Next.

Step 7 Under Disk Format , select ‘Thin Provision ’ and click Next.
Step 8 From the Network Mapping drop-down list, allocate one or more virtual Network Interface Cards (vNICs) to the destination network. Connect each network to a unique interface. The following mapping is recommended:
• GigabitEthernet 1 to device management interface and map it to the out-of-band
management network.
• GigabitEthernet 2 to wireless management interface and map it to the network to reach APs and services. Usually this interface is a trunk to carry multiple VLANs. •
GigabitEthernet 3 to high-availability interface and map it to a separate network for peer-to-peer communication for SSO.
Note Do not connect 2 interfaces to a single subnet as that causes network loop.
Click Next . And then click Next to skip the management configuration.

Configuring C9800-CL initial setup from console
Step 1 Click Power On to power on the C9800-CL WLC.
Step 2 Open the C9800-CL WLC Console, it is important to click into the console window and press ANY key to access the terminal when it show "Press any key to continue."
Step 3 Select “vWLC – packages.conf ”
Step 4 Terminate the configuration wizard.
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: no Would you like to terminate autoinstall? [yes]:yes

Step 5 Set the hostname WLC#enable
WLC#configure terminal
WLC(config)#hostname C9800
Step 6 Add login credentials using the following command: C9800(config)#username cisco privilege 15 password Cisco123 C9800(config)#enable secret Cisco123 C9800(config)#service password-encryption
Step 7 Add an IP address on the device Management interface. C9800(config)#interface gi1 C9800(config-if)#no switchport C9800(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 //Change the IP accordingly C9800(config-if)#no shut C9800(config-if)#exit Step 8 Add the route to the remote network where you want to manage the C9800-CL from. C9800(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 //Change the gateway IP accordingly
Step 9 Configure VTY
C9800(config)#line vty 0 4
C9800(config-line)#login local C9800(config-line)#transport input all
C9800(config-line)#exit
Step 10 Login C9800-CL WLC
Now you can login the C9800-CL WLC from CLI by SSH the management IP(192.168.1.2) or WEB GUI https://192.168.1.2 长流水I T。
