Introduction

The following information provides an example for configuring scheduled WLAN access services.

Prerequisites

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

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.

The following information is provided based on the assumption that you have basic knowledge of DHCP and WLAN access.

Example: Configuring scheduled WLAN access services

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, the AC connects to the Layer 2 switch and the Layer 3 switch acts as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to the AP and the client.

Configure network settings to meet the following requirements:

·     The client accesses the WLAN over VLAN 200.

·     The AC and the AP communicate with each other over VLAN 100.

·     The Layer 2 switch supplies power to the AP through PoE.

·     The AP provides WLAN access services only from 8:00 to 20:00 every day.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Analysis

·     For the Layer 3 switch to act as a DHCP server, enable the DHCP server feature on the switch.

·     For the Layer 2 switch to supply power to the AP, enable the PoE feature on the switch.

·     Create two schedules to enable and disable the WLAN service template on the AC at specific time points.

Restrictions and guidelines

When you configure a serial ID for the AP, use the serial ID labeled on the AP's rear panel.

Procedures

Configuring the Layer 3 switch

1.     Configure Layer 3 switch interfaces:

# Create VLAN 100 and VLAN-interface 100, and assign IP address 192.168.10.1 to the interface. The switch communicates with the AC over VLAN 100.

<L3 switch> system-view

[L3 switch] vlan 100

[L3 switch-vlan100] quit

[L3 switch] interface vlan-interface 100

[L3 switch-Vlan-interface100] ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0

[L3 switch-Vlan-interface100] quit

# Create VLAN 200 and VLAN-interface 200, and assign IP address 192.168.20.1 to the interface. The client will use this VLAN to access the WLAN.

[L3 switch] vlan 200

[L3 switch-vlan200] quit

[L3 switch] interface vlan-interface 200

[L3 switch-Vlan-interface200] ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0

[L3 switch-Vlan-interface200] quit

# Set the link type of GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 that connects the switch to the Layer 2 switch to trunk. Remove the port from VLAN 1 and assign the port to VLAN 100 and VLAN 200.

[L3 switch] interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/1

[L3 switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type trunk

[L3 switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] undo port trunk permit vlan 1

[L3 switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port trunk permit vlan 100 200

[L3 switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

2.     Configure the DHCP server feature:

# Enable DHCP server.

[L3 switch] dhcp enable

# Create DHCP address pool 1 for dynamic IP allocation to the AP. Specify 192.168.10.0/24 as the subnet and 192.168.10.1 as the gateway address in the address pool.

[L3 switch] dhcp server ip-pool 1

[L3 switch-dhcp-pool-1] network 192.168.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0

[L3 switch-dhcp-pool-1] gateway-list 192.168.10.1

# Exclude the IP address of VLAN-interface 100 on the AC from dynamic IP allocation in DHCP address pool 1.

[L3 switch-dhcp-pool-1] forbidden-ip 192.168.10.2

[L3 switch-dhcp-pool-1] quit

# Create DHCP address pool 2 for dynamic IP allocation to the client. Specify 192.168.20.0/24 as the subnet and 192.168.20.1 as the gateway address in the address pool, and then specify the address of the DNS server. In this example, the gateway also acts as the DNS server.

[L3 switch] dhcp server ip-pool 2

[L3 switch-dhcp-pool-2] network 192.168.20.0 mask 255.255.255.0

[L3 switch-dhcp-pool-2] gateway-list 192.168.20.1

[L3 switch-dhcp-pool-2] dns-list 192.168.20.1

[L3 switch-dhcp-pool-2] quit

Configuring the AC

1.     Configure AC interfaces:

# Create VLAN 100 and VLAN-interface 100, and assign IP address 192.168.10.2 to the interface. The AC will establish a CAPWAP tunnel with the AP in this VLAN.

<AC> system-view

[AC] vlan 100

[AC-vlan100] quit

[AC] interface vlan-interface 100

[AC-Vlan-interface100] ip address 192.168.10.2 255.255.255.0

[AC-Vlan-interface100] quit

# Create VLAN 200. The client will use this VLAN to access the WLAN.

[AC] vlan 200

[AC-vlan200] quit

# Set the link type of GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 that connects the AC to the Layer 2 switch to trunk. Remove the port from VLAN 1 and assign the port to VLAN 100 and VLAN 200.

[AC] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type trunk

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] undo port trunk permit vlan 1

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port trunk permit vlan 100 200

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

2.     Configure a wireless service:

# Create service template 1 and enter its view.

[AC] wlan service-template 1

# Set the SSID to service1.

[AC-wlan-st-1] ssid service1

# Specify the AKM mode as PSK, and specify plaintext string 12345678 as the preshared key.

[AC-wlan-st-1] akm mode psk

[AC-wlan-st-1] preshared-key pass-phrase simple 12345678

# Specify the cipher suite as CCMP and the security IE as RSN.

[AC-wlan-st-1] cipher-suite ccmp

[AC-wlan-st-1] security-ie rsn

# Configure the AC to forward client data traffic. You can skip this step if the AC is the client traffic forwarder by default.

[AC-wlan-st-1] client forwarding-location ac

# Enable service template 1.

[AC-wlan-st-1] service-template enable

[AC-wlan-st-1] quit

3.     Configure AP settings:

 

NOTE: In large-scale networks, configure AP groups instead of single APs as a best practice.

 

# Create AP officeap, and specify the AP model and serial ID.

[AC] wlan ap officeap model WA6320

[AC-wlan-ap-officeap] serial-id 209801A28N819CE0002T

[AC-job-officeap_service_enable] command 1 system-view

[AC-job-officeap_service_enable] command 2 wlan service-template 1

[AC-job-officeap_service_enable] command 3 service-template enable

[AC-job-officeap_service_enable] command 4 quit

[AC-job-officeap_service_enable] quit

# Create schedule officeap_service_enable and assign job officeap_service_enable to the schedule. The AC will enable service template 1 at 8:00 a.m. every day.

[AC] scheduler schedule officeap_service_enable

[AC-schedule-officeap_service_enable] job officeap_service_enable

[AC-schedule-officeap_service_enable] time repeating at 08:00

[AC-schedule-officeap_service_enable] quit

5.     Configure the AC to disable service template 1 at a specific time point.
