Example for Configuring Bluetooth Location

Procedure

1. Configure the location server.

   Complete the location configuration on the location server. For details, see related documents of the location server.

2. Configure the switch and AC so that the AP and AC can exchange CAPWAP packets.

   # Configure access switch SwitchA. Add GE0/0/1 and GE0/0/2 on SwitchA to management VLAN 100.

   <HUAWEI> system-view
   [HUAWEI] sysname SwitchA
   [SwitchA] vlan batch 100
   [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 allow-pass vlan 100
   [SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] 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

3. Configure the AC to communicate with the location server.

   # Add GE0/0/2 of the AC for connecting to the location server to VLANs 100 and 101.

   [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 100 101
   [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit

4. 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

5. Configure the AP to go online.
   # Create an AP group to which the APs with the same configuration are to be added.

   [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's 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 the AP name based on the AP's deployment location so that you can know where the AP is deployed by its name. For example, if the AP with MAC address 60de-4476-e360 is deployed in area 1, name the AP as area_1.

   

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

   In this example, the AP4050DN-E is used and has two radios: radio 0 and radio 1.

   [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  

   # Power on the AP, and run the display ap all command to check the AP state. If the State field is displayed as nor, the AP is online.

   [AC-wlan-view] display ap all
   Total AP information:
   nor  : normal          [1]
   ExtraInfo : Extra information 
   P     : insufficient power supply

   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   0    60de-4476-e360 area_1 ap-group1 10.23.100.254 AP4050DN-E      nor   0   25S
   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Total: 1

6. Configure WLAN service parameters.
   # Create security profile wlan-security and set the security policy in the profile.

   

   In this example, the security policy is set to WPA2+PSK+AES and password to a1234567. In actual situations, the security policy must be configured according to service requirements.

   [AC-wlan-view] security-profile name wlan-security
   [AC-wlan-sec-prof-wlan-security] security wpa2 psk pass-phrase a1234567 aes
   [AC-wlan-sec-prof-wlan-security] quit

   # Create SSID profile wlan-ssid and set the SSID name to wlan-net.

   [AC-wlan-view] ssid-profile name wlan-ssid
   [AC-wlan-ssid-prof-wlan-ssid] ssid wlan-net
   [AC-wlan-ssid-prof-wlan-ssid] quit

   # Create VAP profile wlan-vap, set the data forwarding mode and service VLAN, and apply the security profile and SSID profile to the VAP profile.

   [AC-wlan-view] vap-profile name wlan-vap
   [AC-wlan-vap-prof-wlan-vap] forward-mode tunnel
   [AC-wlan-vap-prof-wlan-vap] service-vlan vlan-id 101
   [AC-wlan-vap-prof-wlan-vap] security-profile wlan-security
   [AC-wlan-vap-prof-wlan-vap] ssid-profile wlan-ssid
   [AC-wlan-vap-prof-wlan-vap] quit

   # Bind VAP profile wlan-vap to the AP group and apply the profile to radio 0 and radio 1 of the AP.

   [AC-wlan-view] ap-group name ap-group1
   [AC-wlan-ap-group-ap-group1] vap-profile wlan-vap wlan 1 radio all
   [AC-wlan-ap-group-ap-group1] quit

7. Configure the Bluetooth location function.
   # Create the BLE profile wlan-ble , enable Bluetooth monitoring to receive information about surrounding BLE base stations, and configure the destination IP address and port number on the AC through which Bluetooth tag location information is reported.

   [AC] wlan
   [AC-wlan-view] ble-profile name wlan-ble
   [AC-wlan-ble-prof-wlan-ble] sniffer enable ibeacon-mode
   [AC-wlan-ble-prof-wlan-ble] report enable
   [AC-wlan-ble-prof-wlan-ble] report-to-server ip-address 10.23.102.1 port 10001 via-ac ac-port 32180
   [AC-wlan-ble-prof-wlan-ble] quit

   # Add BLE devices within the AP's coverage area to the monitoring list.

   [AC-wlan-view] ble monitoring-list mac 1234-1234-1000 to 1234-1234-1002

   # Apply the BLE profile to the AP group.

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

8. Verify the configuration.

   The WLAN service configuration is automatically delivered to the AP. After the service configuration is complete, run the display vap ssid wlan-net command. If Status in the command output is displayed as ON, the VAPs have been successfully created on the AP radios.

   [AC-wlan-view] display vap ssid wlan-net

   After connecting to the WLAN of the shopping mall using a Bluetooth terminal enabled with the Bluetooth function, a user can use a location app to download the shopping mall's map and reports information about scanned BLE devices to the location server. The location server then implements location algorithms and sends the location of the Bluetooth terminal to the user. At the same time, the app server pushes commodity sales information to the user based on the location of the Bluetooth terminal.
