Configuring APs to Go Online

Context

After network interworking is configured, configure the APs to go online on the AC, so that the AC can deliver configurations to the APs, such as configurations for interworking between ESL cards and APs, and wireless service coverage configurations.

This document only describes basic go-online configurations of APs on the AC. For more information, see Configuring APs to Go Online.

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

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run vlan batch vlan-id
A VLAN is created.
Run interface vlanif vlan-id
A VLANIF interface is created, and the VLANIF interface view is displayed.

By default, no VLANIF interface is created.
Run ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length }
An IP address and a subnet mask are configured for the VLANIF interface.

By default, no IP address is configured for a VLANIF interface.
Run quit
Return to the system view.
Run capwap source interface vlanif vlan-id
The VLANIF interface is configured as the source interface of the CAPWAP tunnel established between the AP and AC.

By default, no source interface is configured for the CAPWAP tunnel established between the AP and AC.
Run wlan
The WLAN view is displayed.
Run regulatory-domain-profile name profile-name
A regulatory domain profile is created and the regulatory domain profile view is displayed.

By default, the system provides the regulatory domain profile default.
Run country-code country-code
The country code is configured.

By default, the country code CN is configured.
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 regulatory-domain-profile profile-name
The regulatory domain profile is bound to the AP group

By default, the regulatory domain profile default is bound to the AP group.
Run quit
Return to the WLAN view.
Run ap-id ap-id [ [ type-id type-id | ap-type ap-type ] { ap-mac ap-mac | ap-sn ap-sn | ap-mac ap-mac ap-sn ap-sn } ] or ap-mac ap-mac [ type-id type-id | ap-type ap-type ] [ ap-id ap-id ] [ ap-sn ap-sn ]
The AP is imported in offline mode, and the AP view is displayed.
Run ap-name ap-name
The AP name is configured.

By default, no AP name is configured for an AP.
Run ap-group group-name
The AP is added to the AP group.

By default, no AP group is configured.

Verifying the Configuration

Run the display ap all command to check whether the AP goes online on the AC.
Run the display capwap configuration command to check the source interface or source IP address of the AC.
Run the display regulatory-domain-profile { all | name profile-name } command to check the country code configured in the regulatory domain profile.
Run the display references regulatory-domain-profile name profile-name command to check reference information about the regulatory domain profile.
