Example for Configuring WLAN Services on a Large-Scale Network

Configuration Process

You need to configure and maintain WLAN features and functions in different profiles. These WLAN profiles include regulatory domain profile, radio profile, VAP profile, AP system profile, AP wired port profile, WIDS profile, WDS profile, and Mesh profile. When configuring WLAN services, you need to set related parameters in the WLAN profiles and bind the profiles to the AP group or APs. Then the configuration is automatically delivered to and takes effect on the APs. WLAN profiles can reference one another; therefore, you need to know the relationships among the profiles before configuring them. For details about the profile relationships and their basic configuration procedure, see WLAN Service Configuration Procedure.

Networking Requirements

On a network of a large enterprise in Figure 1, an aggregation switch Switch_B connects to an access switch Switch_A and an upstream Router. The enterprise needs to deploy a WLAN, with as few changes to the current network structure as possible.

The enterprise requirements are as follows:
  • A WLAN with the SSID guest is deployed in the lobby of the office building to provide wireless access services for visitors.
  • A WLAN with the SSID employee is deployed in office areas to provide wireless access services for employees.
Figure 1 Networking diagram of configuring WLAN services on a large-scale network

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

  1. Configure Switch_A and Switch_B to implement Layer 2 interconnection and configure Switch_B, Router, and AC to implement Layer 3 interconnection.
  2. Configure the Router as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses from a global address pool to STAs and APs.
  3. Configure a VLAN pool for service VLANs.
  4. Configure the APs to go online.
    1. Create an AP group and add APs that require the same configuration to the group for unified configuration.
    2. Configure AC system parameters, including the country code and source interface used by the AC to communicate with the APs.
    3. Configure the AP authentication mode and import the APs offline so that the APs can go online properly.
  5. Configure WLAN service parameters for STAs to access the WLAN.

  • In this example, Switch_A is a Huawei fixed switch, and Switch_B is a Huawei modular switch.

  • When a VLAN pool is used to provide service VLANs on a large network, many VLANs are usually added to the VLAN pool, and interfaces of many devices need to be added to these VLANs. In this situation, quite a lot of broadcast domains are created if you configure the direct forwarding mode. To reduce the number of broadcast domains, set the data forwarding mode to direct forwarding.

  • No ACK mechanism is provided for multicast packet transmission on air interfaces. In addition, wireless links are unstable. To ensure stable transmission of multicast packets, they are usually sent at low rates. If a large number of such multicast packets are sent from the network side, the air interfaces may be congested. You are advised to configure multicast packet suppression to reduce impact of a large number of low-rate multicast packets on the wireless network. Exercise caution when configuring the rate limit; otherwise, the multicast services may be affected.
    • In direct forwarding mode, you are advised to configure multicast packet suppression on switch interfaces connected to APs.
    • In tunnel forwarding mode, you are advised to configure multicast packet suppression in traffic profiles of the AC.
    For details on how to configure traffic suppression, see How Do I Configure Multicast Packet Suppression to Reduce Impact of a Large Number of Low-Rate Multicast Packets on the Wireless Network?.

  • Configure port isolation on the interfaces of the device directly connected to APs. If port isolation is not configured and direct forwarding is used, a large number of unnecessary broadcast packets may be generated in the VLAN, blocking the network and degrading user experience.

  • In tunnel forwarding mode, the management VLAN and service VLAN cannot be the same. Only packets from the management VLAN are transmitted between the AC and APs. Packets from the service VLAN are not allowed between the AC and APs.

Procedure

  1. Set the NAC mode to unified on the AC so that users can connect to the network properly.

    If the NAC mode is changed from traditional to unified, the unified mode takes effect after you save the configuration and restart the device.

  2. Configure networking parameters.

  4. Configure a VLAN pool for service VLANs.

    # Create VLAN pools sta-pool1 and sta-pool2. Add VLAN 101 and VLAN 102 to VLAN pool sta-pool1, and VLAN 103 and VLAN 104 to VLAN pool sta-pool2. Set the VLAN assignment algorithm to hash for the two VLAN pools.

    This example uses the VLAN assignment algorithm hash as an example. The default VLAN assignment algorithm is hash. If the default setting is not changed before, you do not need to run the assignment hash command.

    In this example, only VLAN 101 and VLAN 102 are added to the VLAN pool. You can add multiple VLANs to a VLAN pool. Similar to adding VLAN 101 and VLAN 102 to a VLAN pool, you need to create corresponding VLANIF interfaces and configure IP addresses on Switch_B, and configure interface address pools on Router.

    [AC] vlan pool sta-pool1
[AC-vlan-pool-sta-pool1] vlan 101 102

    [AC] capwap source interface vlanif 200
    # Import the APs offline on the AC. Add APs deployed in the lobby to AP group guest and APs in office areas to AP group employee. Configure names for the APs based on the APs' deployment locations, so that you can know where the APs are deployed from their names. For example, if the AP with MAC address 60de-4474-9640 is deployed in room 1 of the second floor of the office building, name the AP office2-1.

    The default AP authentication mode is MAC address authentication. If the default settings are retained, you do not need to run the ap auth-mode mac-auth command.

    In this example, the AP5030DN is used and has two radios: radio 0 (2.4 GHz radio) and radio 1 (5 GHz radio).

  7. Set channels and power for the AP radios.

    Automatic channel and power calibration functions are enabled by default. The manual channel and power configurations take effect only when these two functions are disabled. The channel and power configuration for the AP radios in this example is for reference only. In actual scenarios, configure channels and power for AP radios based on country codes of APs and network planning results.
