Example for Configuring Basic WLAN Location Services Based on AeroScout Tags

Procedure

1. Configure the AeroScout location server.

   Complete location configurations on the AeroScout location server. For details, see the related document of the AeroScout location server.

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

   <HUAWEI> system-view
   [HUAWEI] authentication unified-mode

   

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

3. Connect AC and AP.

   # Configure the access switch SwitchA. Add GE0/0/1, GE0/0/2, GE0/0/3 and GE0/0/4 on SwitchA to VLAN 100 (management VLAN)

   <HUAWEI> system-view
   [HUAWEI] sysname SwitchA
   [SwitchA] vlan batch 100 101
   [SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type trunk
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk pvid vlan 100
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 100
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
   [SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port link-type trunk
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port trunk pvid vlan 100
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port trunk allow-pass vlan 100
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit
   [SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/3
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/3] port link-type trunk
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/3] port trunk pvid vlan 100
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/3] port trunk allow-pass vlan 100
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/3] quit
   [SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/4
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/4] port link-type trunk
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/4] port trunk allow-pass vlan 100
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/4] quit

   # Configure the AC. Add GE0/0/1 to VLAN 100.

   <HUAWEI> system-view
   [HUAWEI] sysname AC
   [AC] vlan batch 100 101
   [AC] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
   [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type trunk
   [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 100
   [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit

4. Configure the AC to communicate with the AeroScout Positioning Server.

   # Add GE0/0/2 that connects the AC and the AeroScout Positioning Server to VLAN 100.

   [AC] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2
   [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port link-type trunk
   [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port trunk pvid vlan 100
   [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port trunk allow-pass vlan 100
   [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit

5. Configure the AC as a DHCP server to allocate IP addresses to STAs and the AP.

   # Configure the AC as the DHCP server to allocate an IP address to the AP from the IP address pool on VLANIF 100, and allocate IP addresses to STAs from the IP address pool on VLANIF 101.

   

   Configure the DNS server as required. The common methods are as follows:

   • In interface address pool scenarios, run the dhcp server dns-list ip-address &<1-8> command in the VLANIF interface view.
   • In global address pool scenarios, run the dns-list ip-address &<1-8> command in the IP address pool view.

   [AC] dhcp enable
   [AC] interface vlanif 100
   [AC-Vlanif100] ip address 10.23.100.1 24
   [AC-Vlanif100] dhcp select interface
   [AC-Vlanif100] quit
   [AC] interface vlanif 101
   [AC-Vlanif101] ip address 10.23.101.1 24
   [AC-Vlanif101] dhcp select interface
   [AC-Vlanif101] quit

6. Configure the AP to go online.

   # Create an AP group and add the AP to the AP group.

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

   # Create a regulatory domain profile, configure the AC country code in the profile, and apply the profile to the AP group.

   [AC-wlan-view] regulatory-domain-profile name domain1
   [AC-wlan-regulate-domain-domain1] country-code cn
   [AC-wlan-regulate-domain-domain1] quit
   [AC-wlan-view] ap-group name ap-group1
   [AC-wlan-ap-group-ap-group1] regulatory-domain-profile domain1
   Warning: Modifying the country code will clear channel, power and antenna gain configurations of the radio and reset the AP. Continue?[Y/N]:y  
   [AC-wlan-ap-group-ap-group1] quit
   [AC-wlan-view] quit

   # Configure the AC's source interface.

   [AC] capwap source interface vlanif 100

   # Import the AP offline on the AC and add the AP to AP group ap-group1. Configure a name for the AP based on the AP's deployment location, so that you can know where the AP is deployed from its name. For example, name the AP area_1 if it is deployed in Area 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).

   [AC] wlan
   [AC-wlan-view] ap auth-mode mac-auth
   [AC-wlan-view] ap-id 0 ap-mac 60de-4476-e360
   [AC-wlan-ap-0] ap-name area_1
   [AC-wlan-ap-0] ap-group ap-group1
   Warning: This operation may cause AP reset. If the country code changes, it will clear channel, power and antenna gain configuration s of the radio, Whether to continue? [Y/N]:y  
   [AC-wlan-ap-0] quit
   [AC-wlan-view] ap-id 1 ap-mac dcd2-fc9d-0bb0
   [AC-wlan-ap-1] ap-name area_2
   [AC-wlan-ap-1] ap-group ap-group1
   Warning: This operation may cause AP reset. If the country code changes, it will clear channel, power and antenna gain configuration s of the radio, Whether to continue? [Y/N]:y

   Warning: This operation may cause AP reset. If the country code changes, it will clear channel, power and antenna gain configuration s of the radio, Whether to continue? [Y/N]:y  
   [AC-wlan-ap-2] quit

   # After the AP is powered on, run the display ap all command to check the AP state. If the State field is displayed as nor, the AP goes online normally.

   [AC-wlan-view] display ap all
   Total AP information:
