The following document is provided as a basic guide on how to configure the Motorola WS5100 Wireless LAN Switch with release 3.x software. You should use the initial username of “cli” at the login prompt. At the username/password prompts you should use “admin” and “superuser” respectively.

You should connect to the console port a serial cable (null) with 19200,8,N,1.

The example below will configure Ethernet 2 as a trunk port with the management interface in VLAN 200 (10.107.255.199/24) and the default gateway as 10.107.255.1. The order of the commands is very important when you start to trunk the interface.

Please press Enter to activate this console.
WS5100 release 3.0.3.0-003R
Login as 'cli' to access CLI.

Welcome to CLI

WS5100>
WS5100> enable
WS5100# configure terminal

WS5100(config)# interface eth2
WS5100(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
WS5100(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 200
WS5100(config-if)# switchport trunk native tagged
WS5100(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan none
WS5100(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 200
WS5100(config-if)# exit

WS5100(config)# interface vlan 200
WS5100(config-if)# ip address 10.107.255.199/24
WS5100(config-if)# management
WS5100(config-if)# exit

WS5100(config)# interface vlan 1
WS5100(config-if)# no ip address
WS5100(config-if)# shutdown
WS5100(config-if)# exit

WS5100(config)# ip default-gateway 10.107.255.1
WS5100(config)# end
WS5100# write memory

Once you've complete those steps you should be able to ping the device. At that point you can connect to the web based console to complete the configuration.

https://10.107.255.199

You should of course substitute the IP addresses above with your own addresses.

Cheers!
