Setting Up an SVF System (AP Access)

In an SVF system shown in Figure 1, APs can be connected to the parent, level-1 ASs directly and indirectly, and level-2 ASs.

Figure 1 AP access

If APs need to be connected to the SVF system and managed by the parent, and the parent is a modular switch, the parent must have X series cards installed or the parent can be a fixed switch, for example, S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731S-H, S5732-H, S6720-HI, S6730S-H, or S6730-H.
When APs are connected to a non-X series card, you must add the non-X series card and X series card of the parent to the same WLAN work group. By default, all interface cards automatically join the default WLAN work group named default.
When an AS connects to APs, all member ports of the Eth-Trunk bound to the fabric port that connects the parent to the AS must be ports on X series cards or ports on non-X series cards. Otherwise, APs cannot go online.

Connect an AP to the parent.
When an AP is connected to the parent, the access configuration performed on the parent is the same as that on an AC. For details about connecting an AP to an AC, see the S5720 and S6720 V200R019C10 Configuration Guide - WLAN-AC.
Connect an AP to an AS.
1. Run system-view
  The system view is displayed.
2. Run uni-mng
  The uni-mng view is displayed.
3. Run port-group connect-ap name group-name
  An AP port group is created and the AP port group view is displayed.
  
  You can create only one AP port group.
4. Add the ports that connect ASs to APs to the AP port group.
  - Run as name as-name interface { { interface-type interface-number1 [ to interface-number2 ] } &<1-10> | all }
    
    Ports of the AS with a specified name are added to the AP port group.
  - Run as name-include string interface all
    
    Ports of ASs of which the name contains a specified string are added to the AP port group.
5. Run quit
  Exit from the AP port group view.
6. Run commit as { name as-name | all }
  The configuration is committed.
7. Other AP connection configurations or service configurations, for example, the AP authentication mode and AP profiles, are the same as those performed when an AP is connected to an AC. For details, see S5720 and S6720 V200R019C10 Configuration Guide - WLAN-AC..
