Configuring the Wireless Coverage Service

Context

The WLAN network and ESL network can be multiplexed and integrated into one network. This reduces network deployment and maintenance costs, and helps administrators centrally manage the networks.

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 wireless coverage services.

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run vlan batch vlan-id
A VLAN is created.
Run wlan
The WLAN view is displayed.
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 quit
Return to the WLAN view.
Run ssid-profile name profile-name
An SSID profile is created and the SSID profile view is displayed.

By default, the system provides the SSID profile default.
Run ssid ssid
An SSID name is configured.

By default, the SSID HUAWEI-WLAN is configured in an SSID profile.
Run quit
Return to the WLAN view.
Run vap-profile name profile-name
The VAP profile view is displayed.
Run security-profile profile-name
The security profile is bound to the VAP profile.

By default, the security profile default is bound to a VAP profile.
Run forward-mode { direct-forward | tunnel | softgre profile-name }
The data forwarding mode is configured in the VAP profile.

By default, the forwarding mode is direct-forward in the VAP profile.
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 ssid-profile profile-name
The SSID profile is bound to the VAP profile.

By default, the SSID profile default is bound to a VAP profile.
Run quit
Return to the WLAN view.
Run radio-2g-profile name profile-name
A 2G radio profile is created, and the 2G radio profile view is displayed.

By default, the system provides the 2G radio profile default.
Run auto-off service start-time start-time end-time end-time
The scheduled VAP auto-off function is enabled.

By default, the scheduled VAP auto-off function is disabled.

When ESL information is updated, you are advised to disable the 2.4 GHz radio to avoid interfering 2.4 GHz signals of ESLs and affecting the ESL information update speed. ESL information is typically updated in non-business hours of shopping malls. Therefore, it is recommended that the scheduled VAP auto-off function be enabled during non-business hours of shopping malls.
Run quit
Return to the WLAN view.
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 } ]
The VAP profile is bound to radios.

By default, no VAP profile is bound to a radio.
Run radio-2g-profile profile-name { radio { radio-id | all } }
The 2G radio profile is bound to radios.

By default, the 2G radio profile default is bound to an AP group.

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.
Run the display radio-2g-profile { all | name profile-name } command to check configuration and reference information about the 2G radio profile.
Run the display references radio-2g-profile name profile-name command to check reference information about the 2G radio profile.
