SSIDs identify different wireless networks. When you search for available wireless networks on your laptop, the displayed wireless network names are SSIDs. In an SSID profile, you can define an SSID name and configure related parameters. After the SSID profile configuration is complete, bind the SSID profile to a VAP profile.
The system view is displayed.
The WLAN view is displayed.
An SSID profile is created, and the SSID profile view is displayed.
By default, the system provides the SSID profile default.
An SSID name is configured.
By default, the SSID HUAWEI-WLAN is configured in an SSID profile.
The value is a string of 1 to 32 case-sensitive characters. It supports Chinese characters or Chinese + English characters, without tab characters.
SSID hiding in Beacon frames is enabled.
By default, SSID hiding in Beacon frames is disabled in an SSID profile.
When creating a WLAN, configure an AP to hide the SSID of the WLAN to ensure security. Only the users who know the SSID can connect to the WLAN.
Beacon frames are enabled to carry the AP name.
By default, Beacon frames do not carry the AP name.
The maximum number of successfully associated STAs on a VAP is configured.
By default, a VAP allows for a maximum of 64 successfully associated STAs.
More access users on a VAP indicate fewer network resources that each user can occupy. To ensure Internet experience of users, you can configure a proper maximum number of access users on a VAP according to actual network situations.
APs are disabled from automatically hiding SSIDs when the number of users reaches the maximum.
By default, when the number of access users reaches the maximum value, you can determine whether to enable SSID hiding or enable the VAP to replace low-priority STAs with high-priority STAs.
The number of 802.11ac spatial streams and the MCS value corresponding to the spatial streams are configured in the SSID profile.
By default, the maximum number of spatial streams and the maximum MCS value are not specified in the SSID profile.
Rates of 802.11ac APs depend on the index value of MCS. A larger MCS value indicates a higher transmission rate.
This configuration takes effect only when the AP communicates with STAs through 802.11ac and 802.11ax.
The number of 802.11ac spatial streams and the MCS value corresponding to the spatial streams are configured in the SSID profile.
By default, the number of spatial streams sent and received in 802.11ax is 8, and the MCS of the spatial streams is 11 in an SSID profile.
The rate of an 802.11ax-capable AP depends on the index value of the MCS. A larger MCS indicates a higher transmission rate.
This configuration takes effect only when the AP communicates with STAs through 802.11ax.
Access of non-HT STAs is denied.
By default, access of non-HT STAs is permitted.
Non-HT STAs support only 802.11a/b/g and provide a data transmission rate far smaller than the rate of 802.11n/ac STAs. If the non-HT STAs access the wireless network, the data transmission rate of 802.11n/ac STAs will be reduced. To prevent the transmission rate of 802.11n/ac STAs from being affected, you can run the legacy-station [ only-dot11b ] disable command to deny access of all or only 802.11b-compliant non-HT STAs.
After the legacy-station only-dot11b disable command is run, the access of non-HT STAs supporting only 802.11b is denied. If 802.11b radio type in the 2G radio profile has been configured using the radio-type dot11b command, the access of non-HT STAs supporting only 802.11b fails to be denied.
The single-antenna transmission mode is enabled.
By default, the single-antenna transmission mode is disabled.
APs supporting MU-MIMO support the single-antenna transmission mode.
The association aging time of STAs is configured.
By default, the association aging time is 5 minutes.
After the association aging time of STAs is configured, if the AP receives no data packet from a STA in a specified time, the STA goes offline after the association aging time expires.
A DTIM interval is configured.
By default, the DTIM interval is 1.
The DTIM interval specifies how many Beacon frames are sent before the Beacon frame that contains the DTIM. An AP sends a Beacon frame to wake a STA in power-saving mode, indicating that the saved broadcast and multicast frames will be transmitted to the STA.
The U-APSD function is enabled.
By default, the U-APSD function is disabled.
If some STAs on the network do not support the U-APSD function, disable the U-APSD function.
The function of preventing terminals from entering energy-saving mode is enabled.
By default, the function of preventing terminals from entering energy-saving mode is disabled.
Due to individual reasons, some terminals may not run services normally when entering energy-saving mode. You can run the active-dull-client enable command to enable the function of preventing terminals from entering energy-saving mode. After that, an AP frequently sends null data frames to these terminals to prevent them from entering energy-saving mode, ensuring normal services.
APs are enabled to notify STAs of their load.
By default, the function of notifying STA of the AP load is disabled.
Return to the WLAN view.
The VAP profile view is displayed.
The SSID profile is bound to a VAP profile.
By default, the SSID profile default is bound to a VAP profile.
