Introduction

The following information provides an example for configuring static VLAN allocation to allow clients to evenly join VLANs in different VLAN groups.

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 VLAN group.

Example: Configuring static VLAN allocation

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, the switch acts as the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to the APs and clients. Configure two VLAN groups on the AC for the clients to evenly join VLANs in different VLAN groups.

Figure 1 Network diagram

Device	Interface	IP address	Device	Interface	IP address
AC	Vlan-int2	192.12.0.2/16	Switch	Vlan-int2	192.12.0.1/16
	Vlan-int10	192.10.0.2/16		Vlan-int10	192.10.0.1/16
	Vlan-int20	192.20.0.2/16		Vlan-int20	192.20.0.1/16
	Vlan-int30	192.30.0.2/16		Vlan-int30	192.30.0.1/16
	Vlan-int40	192.40.0.2/16		Vlan-int40	192.40.0.1/16

 

Procedures

Configuring the AC

1.     Configure interfaces on the AC:

# Create VLAN 2 and VLAN-interface 2, and assign an IP address to the VLAN interface. The AC will use this IP address to establish a CAPWAP tunnel with the AP.

<AC> system-view

[AC] vlan 2

[AC-vlan2] quit

[AC] interface vlan-interface 2

[AC-Vlan-interface2] ip address 192.12.0.2 16

[AC-Vlan-interface2] quit

# Create VLAN 10 and VLAN-interface 10, and assign an IP address to the VLAN interface. VLAN 10 will be used for client access.

[AC] vlan 10

[AC-vlan10] quit

[AC] interface vlan-interface 10

[AC-Vlan-interface10] ip address 192.10.0.2 16

[AC-Vlan-interface10] quit

# Create VLAN 20 and VLAN-interface 20 and assign an IP address to the VLAN interface. VLAN 20 will be used for client access.

[AC] vlan 20

[AC-vlan20] quit

[AC] interface vlan-interface 20

[AC-Vlan-interface20] ip address 192.20.0.2 16

[AC-Vlan-interface20] quit

# Create VLAN 30 and VLAN-interface 30, and assign an IP address to the VLAN interface. VLAN 10 will be used for client access.

[AC] vlan 30

[AC-vlan30] quit

[AC] interface vlan-interface 30

[AC-Vlan-interface30] ip address 192.30.0.2 16

[AC-Vlan-interface30] quit

# Create VLAN 40 and VLAN-interface 40, and assign an IP address to the VLAN interface. VLAN 10 will be used for client access.

[AC] vlan 40

[AC-vlan40] quit

[AC] interface vlan-interface 40

[AC-Vlan-interface40] ip address 192.40.0.2 16

[AC-Vlan-interface40] quit

# Specify GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 that connects the AC to the switch as a trunk port, and assign it to VLANs 2, 10, 20, 30, and 40.

[AC] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

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

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port trunk permit vlan 2 10 20 30 40

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

# Specify GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 that connects the AC to the AP as a trunk port, and assign it to VLAN 2.

[AC] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port link-type trunk

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port trunk permit vlan 2

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] quit

2.     Configure VLAN groups:

# Create VLAN-group test1 and add VLANs 10 and 20 to the group.

[AC] vlan-group test1

[AC-vlan-group-test1] vlan-list 10 20

# Create VLAN-group test2 and add VLANs 30 and 40 to the group.

[AC] vlan-group test2

[AC-vlan-group-test2] vlan-list 30 40

3.     Configure a wireless service:

# Create service template 1 and enter its view.

[AC] wlan service-template 1

# Configure the SSID as service.

[AC-wlan-st-1] ssid service

# Set the authentication and key management mode to PSK, and configure simple character string of 12345678 as the PSK.

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

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

# Set the AES-CCMP cipher suite for frame encryption, and enable the RSN IE in beacon and probe responses.

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

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

#  Enable the AC to forward client data traffic. (Skip this step is the AC forwards client data traffic by default.)

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

# Set the VLAN allocation method to static.

[AC-wlan-st-1] client vlan-alloc static

 

	NOTE: If dynamic VLAN allocation is used, clients cannot change IP addresses proactively, which might cause disconnection from the WLAN. To avoid unexpected disconnection, set the VLAN allocation method to static.

 

# Enable the service template.

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

[AC-wlan-st-1] quit

4.     Configure AP settings:

 

	NOTE: On a large-scaled network, as a best practice, configuring settings in AP groups.

 

# Create a manual AP named ap1, and specify the AP model and serial ID.

[AC] wlan ap ap1 model WA6320

[AC-wlan-ap-ap1] serial-id 219801A28N819CE0002T

[AC-wlan-ap-ap1] quit

# Create a manual AP named ap2, and specify the AP model and serial ID.

[AC] wlan ap ap2 model WA6320

[AC-wlan-ap-ap2] serial-id 219801A28N819CE00033

[AC-wlan-ap-ap2] quit

# Create AP group group1, and create an AP grouping rule by AP names.

[AC] wlan ap-group group1

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1] ap ap1

# Enter radio view of radio 1 in AP group group1, bind service template 1 to radio 1, and specify VLAN group test1.

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1] ap-model WA6320

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1-ap-model-WA6320] radio 1

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1-ap-model-WA6320-radio-1] service-template 1 vlan-group test1

# Enable radio 1.

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1-ap-model-WA6320-radio-1] radio enable

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1-ap-model-WA6320-radio-1] quit

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1-ap-model-WA6320] quit

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1] quit

# Create AP group group2, and create an AP grouping rule by AP names.

[AC] wlan ap-group group2

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group2] ap ap2

# Enter radio view of radio 1 in AP group group2, bind service template 1 to radio 1, and specify VLAN group test2.

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group2] ap-model WA6320

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group2-ap-model-WA6320] radio 1

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group2-ap-model-WA6320-radio-1] service-template 1 vlan-group test2
