Configuring ANQP Parameters

Context

If a Hotspot 2.0 network parameter carries multiple data entries, you need to configure the parameter using a profile. In the profile, you can configure the entries of the parameter and then bind the profile to a Hotspot 2.0 profile.

Table 1 describes the configurable parameter profiles. Not all parameter profiles are mandatory. You can configure profiles according to network settings to provide required network information for STAs.

Table 1 Description of the parameter profiles

Parameter Profile

Description

Cellular network profile

Recommended

You can configure Hotspot 2.0 services on cellular networks. When connecting to the networks, user terminals can obtain network information from APs, which helps them to select desired networks.

NAI realm profile

Recommended

A NAI realm profile is used to configure the network access identifier (NAI) realm name, authentication mode, and authentication parameters for networks accessible to users.

Roaming consortium profile

Recommended

If the user terminals need to roam among Hotspot2.0 networks of different operators, configure a roaming consortium profile and add the organization identifiers (OIs) of the operators to the roaming consortium profile. In this way, after the user terminals connect to a network of an operator in the profile, they can roam to networks of the other operators while maintaining online.

Connection capability profile

Optional

You can configure Hotspot2.0 services for networks. When user terminals connect to the networks, they can obtain network connection capability information from APs, including allowed protocols and ports, which helps them to select desired networks.

Operating class profile

Optional

The operating class profile is used to configure the operating class indication of AP in on the hotspot2.0 network. When a STA accesses the network, it can obtain channel information used to access a Wi-Fi frequency from AP so that the STA can set up a connection.

Operator domain profile

Recommended

A network domain name profile is used to configure the operator domain profile. STAs can obtain the domain name information through ANQP, which is used as a basis for network selection.

Operator name profile

Optional

You can specify different friendly names for different languages so that users can select networks.

Venue name profile

Optional

When configuring Hotspot2.0 services, configure network parameters according to operator requirements. When connecting to networks, user terminals can obtain the network parameters to select desired networks. The venue name describes physical locations of a network and is an optional parameter.

        By default, no PLMN identifier is configured in the cellular network profile.

      3. Run the quit command to return to the WLAN view.

    • NAI realm profile

      1. Run the nai-realm-profile name profile-name command to create an NAI realm profile and enter the NAI realm profile view.

        By default, no NAI realm profile is available in the system.

      2. Run the nai-realm realm-name realm-name [ eap-method-type eap-method-type [ eap-authen-id eap-authen-id eap-authen-para eap-authen-para ] ] command to configure an NAI realm.

        By default, no NAI realm is configured.

      3. Run the quit command to return to the WLAN view.

    • Roaming consortium profile

      1. Run the roaming-consortium-profile name profile-name command to create a roaming consortium profile and enter the roaming consortium profile view.

        By default, no roaming consortium profile is created.

      2. Run the roaming-consortium-oi oi-value [ in-beacon ] command to set the roaming-consortium organization identifier (OI).

        By default, no roaming consortium identifier is configured for the Hotspot2.0 network.

      3. Run the quit command to return to the WLAN view.

    • Connection capability profile

      1. Run the connection-capability-profile name profile-name command to create a connection capability profile and enter the connection capability profile view.
