AC Config

Procedure

1. Choose Configuration > Wireless Services > AC Config > AC Configuration. The AC Configuration page is displayed.

   
   
   

2. Configure AC basic parameters. The following table describes the AC basic parameters.

   Table 1 AC basic parameters

   Parameter	Description
   AC source address	Source interface of the AC. VLANIF: A VLANIF interface is used as the source interface. Loopback: A Loopback interface is used as the source interface. NOTE: The selected source interface must have an IP address. To delete the AC's source interface, click .
   AP data buffer	Whether to enable the AC to buffer AP data.
   Buffer duration	Period during which an AC buffers AP data. The parameter takes effect only when you set AP data buffer to ON.
   AP authentication mode	Authentication mode used to authenticate APs. By default, the AC authenticates APs using MAC address authentication. MAC address authentication: The AP authentication mode can be set to MAC address authentication. SN authentication: The AP authentication mode can be set to SN authentication. Non-authentication: The AP authentication mode can be set to non-authentication. NOTE: The non-authentication mode brings security risks. You are advised to set the authentication mode to MAC address authentication or SN authentication, which is more secure. When the parameter is set to MAC address authentication or SN authentication, you can click Add AP to add APs manually or import APs in batches. For details, see AP Info.
   IPv6 services for STAs	Whether to enable the function of processing STA IPv6 services. NOTE: The function of processing STA IPv6 services takes effect only when the following conditions are met: In tunnel forwarding mode, the device does not function as an IPv6 gateway. This condition is not required in direct forwarding mode. The security policy is open authentication. After the function of processing STA IPv6 services is disabled: The AC and APs do not process IPv6 packets of the wireless side. You are not allowed to configure IPv6 functions on the wireless side. IPv6 functions of the wireless side are disabled even if they are enabled in default settings.

   Table 2 AC advanced parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Priority of CAPWAP management packets form AC to AP	Priority of CAPWAP management packets sent from an AC to AP.
   Priority of CAPWAP management packets form AP to AC	Priority of CAPWAP management packets sent from an AP to AC.
   Allow AP to establish DTLS session with AC using default pre-shared key	Whether to allow an AP to establish a DTLS session with an AC using the default pre-shared key.
   Pre-shared key	Pre-shared key used for DTLS encryption.
   CAPWAP heartbeat detection interval	CAPWAP heartbeat detection interval.
   CAPWAP heartbeat detection count	Number of CAPWAP heartbeat detections.
