My Environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the LAB of SEC v6 running on PNET Lab (its new tool and Free – you can visit and download to play – https:\/\/pnetlab.com\/)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main Topology i will post later – since it is building part of Mix of all Labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

this blog more of installation of vWLC 9800L (this will be part of new Cisco DNAC \/ SD-Access deployment)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you can download image ISO \/ QCOWS \/ OVA from cisco site as long as you have CCO account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have Esxi running with 128GB RAM \/ 32 Core CPU and 4TB of HDD for Labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use vSphere and Click Deploy OVF Template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Follow the steps and it validate the image and you get below steps and click next<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You have 3 Options small\/ medium \/ large – due to lab i have selected small since i have only test enviroment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It got 3 Interface – <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GigabitEthernet 1 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

GigabitEthernet2 – this very important interface where AP and Clients will be interacting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

GigabitEthernet3 (High availablity network interface. Connect it to a dedicated HA network for peer communication(Note: if not using the HA interface, please map it to a dedicated virtual switch or delete it manually before powering on the VM)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I will do other blog for HA, for now i am testing only 1 vWLC, so i will delete this interface before VM turn ON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finish the setup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It will take 10min ot build the VM and ready to turn VM to process next steps<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

before we turn on we remove Gi3 as mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn ON VM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

now vWLC installation preparing .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

take about 10-20min based on the compute resource you have. Once it success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

enable like any other switch its easy to manage, cisco manages consistance of their config method, so its easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lets configure Gi1 for DHCP so i get IP address from my DHCP Server<\/p>\n\n\n\n

config t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

interface gi 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ip address dhcp<\/p>\n\n\n\n

shut<\/p>\n\n\n\n

no shut<\/p>\n\n\n\n

end<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

show ip interface brief – 2min you see IP addres<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

create a username and password from console –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#username <name> privilege 15 password <yourpwd><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
now lets browse the gui https:\/\/192.168.1.206<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Configuration wizard starts ….we are deploying standalone mode, you have active and standby option also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Finish the setup<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
it will take 2-3min to finish setup, then it will automatically logout and get Login screen, once you relogin with admin account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hola you have dashboard ready to play Lab<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
I will post another blog for AP joing WLC with high level my network diagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
