2 C H A P T E R
Initial Configuration of the Device in Provisioning Mode
Catalyst IW Access Points running Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (URWB) mode support configuration from Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard (IoT OD) or using local management interfaces. An access point (AP) with no configuration defaults to provisioning mode, which allows the initial configuration to be sent to the access point from IoT OD. Provisioning mode is a special mode where the AP will attempt to request network configuration using dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) and connect to IoT OD. If network connectivity exists, the AP will connect to IoT OD. If there is no network connectivity, the AP can be configured locally using the Web UI or command line interface (CLI), accessible using the console port or SSH. The DHCP server assigns a default gateway and domain name system (DNS) server. IoT OD uses DNS geo- location to direct AP in the United States to the US cluster. Other locations will be directed to the EU cluster. Ensure your IoT OD organization is configured to the correct cluster. DHCP is only used in provisioning mode. A static IP address must be assigned for normal operation. If DHCP is unavailable and configuration through IoT OD is required, the IP address, subnet, default gateway, and DNS can be manually configured.
Note When the device is in provisioning mode, the AP attempts to get an IP address from a DHCP server. If the device fails to receive an IP address through DHCP, the AP reverts to a fallback IP address of 192.168.0.10/24.
· To verify if the device is in provisioning mode, go to the device configurator interface and check if the status of IoT OD IW is mentioned as provisioning in the green box:
Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul for Catalyst IW Access Points, Software Configuration Guide, Release 17.13.1 3

Initial Configuration of the Device in Provisioning Mode
· To verify if the device is in provisioning mode, use the following CLI command:
Device# show iotod-iw status IOTOD IW mode: Provisioning Status: Connected
· The device is in provisioning mode if the status of IoT OD IW is shown as Provisioning. Alternatively, if the status of IoT OD IW is shown as Online or Offline, choose between two further options: · To configure a new device, revert the wireless device to provisioning mode and reset the device, see Resetting the Device to Factory Default Using GUI, on page 8. · To change the connection settings with current configuration, see Configuring General Settings, on page 11.
If the device is in provisioning mode, the device configurator interface is shown as below:
Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul for Catalyst IW Access Points, Software Configuration Guide, Release 17.13.1 4

Initial Configuration of the Device in Provisioning Mode
· When the device fails to receive an IP address from the DHCP server, it reverts to the fallback IP address (192.168.0.10/24).
· The device’s status and LEDs will blink continuously and LEDs will repeat this cycle until the device either enters a fallback condition, or enters Online or Offline mode. To know more about LED status, see LED Pattern for Catalyst IW9165, on page 126 or LED Pattern for Catalyst IW9167, on page 125.
· Note DHCP is only used in provisioning mode. A static IP address must be assigned
for normal operation. Ensure that the device is connected to a network that supports DHCP. If the connection to IoT OD is successful, the cloud connection info status is shown as Connected.
To configure a fallback address, use the following CLI command: Note The IP, netmask, default gateway, primary DNS, and secondary DNS configuration (IP command) are allowed
when provisioning mode is on.
Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul for Catalyst IW Access Points, Software Configuration Guide, Release 17.13.1 5

Initial Configuration of the Device in Provisioning Mode
Device# configure ap address ipv4 [ static IP address [ static netmask [ IP address of default gateway [ dns1 ip [ dns2 ip ] ] ] ] ] For example:
Device# configure ap address ipv4 static 192.168.10.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.1 192.168.10.200 192.168.10.201
The device automatically sets the fallback address (192.168.0.10 by default or the configured IP address) if the device does not get an address from the DHCP server. If the device fails to connect to IoT OD IW, verify the following to reach IoT OD IW: 1. Check if the ethernet cable leading to the device is connected correctly. 2. Check if the local DNS server can fix the IP address of IoT OD IW cloud server and if the address can
be reached. 3. Check if access point uses an outbound HTTPS connection on tcp/443 for the following domains:
· device.ciscoiot.com · us.ciscoiot.com · eu.ciscoiot.com 4. If IoT OD IW is still offline, do a local (offline) configuration using the device’s configurator interface. If the device fails to connect to the network in provisioning mode, do the following: 1. Enter alternative Local IP, Local Netmask, Default Gateway, Local Dns 1 and Local Dns 2 values as needed, using IoT OD IW image and click the Save fallback IP button. A reboot confirmation pop-up appears:
2. Click OK button or click Reset button to go back to IoT OD IW and adjust the settings. · If you click the OK button, the device reboots, but will remain in provisioning mode. · The device will attempt to connect to the network using the new connection values.
3. If the device cannot connect to the network using the DHCP settings, IoT OD IW Cloud connection info status shows as Disconnected.
