Overview

The following information provides an example for binding wireless services with different SSIDs to radios at different frequency bands.

Prerequisites

The following information applies to Comware 7-based access controllers. Procedures and information in the examples might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the H3C access controllers.

The configuration examples were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

Example: Configuring different wireless services on different radios

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, in centralized forwarding, the AC is attached to Layer 2 switch 1 in hair-pin mode. The Layer 3 switch acts as the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to the AP and the clients. Configure wireless network settings for the clients to associate with the AC through the AP and visit the host.

·     Configure Client 1 to access the WLAN with SSID service1 through VLAN 201, Client 2 to access the WLAN with SSID service2 through VLAN 202, and the host to access the network through VLAN 300.

·     Establish a Layer 2 connection between the AC and the AP and configure them to exchange packets in VLAN 100.

·     Configure Layer 2 switch 1 to supply power to the AP through PoE.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Analysis

·     Enable the DHCP server feature on the Layer 3 switch for the AP, clients, and the host to obtain IP addresses automatically through DHCP.

·     Enable PoE on Layer 2 switch 1 to supply power to the AP.

·     Configure wireless services with different SSIDs on the AC for clients to access different WLANs and reach the host.

Restrictions and guidelines

Use the serial ID labeled on the AP's rear panel to specify an AP.
