Configuring the Wireless Coverage Service

Context

A WLAN can be reused as a personnel and asset management IoT network, reducing network deployment and maintenance costs and helping administrators centrally manage the network.

This document provides only basic wireless coverage service configurations. For more information, see WLAN Service Configuration Guide.

Perform the following operations on the AC to configure an AP to go online.

Run security-profile name profile-name
A security profile is created and the security profile view is displayed.

By default, security profiles default, default-wds and default-mesh are available in the system.

After the security profile is created, using the default security policy has security risks. You are advised to configure a proper security policy according to actual service requirements. For the detailed configuration, see Configuring a WLAN Security Policy.

Run service-vlan { vlan-id vlan-id | vlan-pool pool-name }
A service VLAN is configured for a VAP.

By default, VLAN 1 is the service VLAN of a VAP.

Run ap-group name group-name
An AP group is created, and the AP group view is displayed.
Run vap-profile profile-name wlan wlan-id radio { radio-id | all } [ service-vlan { vlan-id vlan-id | vlan-pool pool-name } ]

By default, no VAP profile is bound to a radio.

Verifying the Configuration

Run the display vap { all | ssid ssid } or display vap { ap-group ap-group-name | { ap-name ap-name | ap-id ap-id } [ radio radio-id ] } [ ssid ssid ] command to check service VAP information.
Run the display vap-profile { all | name profile-name } command to check configuration and reference information about a VAP profile.
Run the display references vap-profile name profile-name command to check reference information about the VAP profile.
Run the display security-profile { all | name profile-name } command to check configuration and reference information about the security profile.
Run the display references security-profile name profile-name command to check reference information about the security profile.
Run the display ssid-profile { all | name profile-name } command to check configuration and reference information about the SSID profile.
Run the display references ssid-profile name profile-name command to check reference information about the SSID profile.
