Example for Configuring the Smart Retail IoT Solution - ESL

Procedure

1. Set the NAC mode to unified on the AC so that users can connect to the network properly.

   <HUAWEI> system-view
   [HUAWEI] authentication unified-mode

   

   If the NAC mode is changed from traditional to unified, the unified mode takes effect after you save the configuration and restart the device.

2. Configure the switch and AC to enable the AP to communicate with the AC.

   # Configure the access switch, and add GE0/0/1 and GE0/0/2 on the switch to VLAN 100 (management VLAN) and VLAN 101 (service VLAN).

   <HUAWEI> system-view
   [HUAWEI] sysname Switch
   [Switch] vlan batch 100 101
   [Switch] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
   [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type trunk
   [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 100 101
   [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
   [Switch] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2
   [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port link-type trunk
   [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port trunk pvid vlan 100
   [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port trunk allow-pass vlan 100 101
   [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit

   # Configure the AC, and add GE0/0/1 to VLAN 100 and VLAN 101.

   <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 100 101
   [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit

3. 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

4. Configure the AP to go online.
   # Create an AP group to which the APs with the same configuration can 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 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 the AP group ap-group1. Configure a name for the AP based on the AP's deployment location, so that you can know where the AP is located by its name. For example, if the AP with MAC address 60de-4476-e360 is deployed in area 1, name the AP area_1.

   

   The default AP authentication mode is MAC address authentication. 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
   Warning: This operation may cause AP reset. Continue? [Y/N]:y
   [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  
   [AC-wlan-ap-0] quit

   # After the AP is powered on, run the display ap all command to check the AP status. If the State field displays nor, the AP has gone online.

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

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Total: 1

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

   

   In this example, the security policy is set to WPA-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-net
   [AC-wlan-sec-prof-wlan-net] security wpa-wpa2 psk pass-phrase a1234567 aes
   [AC-wlan-sec-prof-wlan-net] quit

   # Create radio profile wlan-radio2g and configure the VAP to be disabled from 23:00 to 6:00.

   [AC-wlan-view] radio-2g-profile name wlan-radio2g
   [AC-wlan-radio-2g-prof-wlan-radio2g] auto-off service start-time 23:00:00 end-time 6:00:00
   [AC-wlan-radio-2g-prof-wlan-radio2g] quit

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

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

   # Create VAP profile wlan-net, 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-net
   [AC-wlan-vap-prof-wlan-net] forward-mode direct-forward
   [AC-wlan-vap-prof-wlan-net] service-vlan vlan-id 101
   [AC-wlan-vap-prof-wlan-net] security-profile wlan-net
   [AC-wlan-vap-prof-wlan-net] ssid-profile wlan-net
   [AC-wlan-vap-prof-wlan-net] quit

   # Bind VAP profile wlan-net to the AP group and apply the profile to radio 0 and radio 1 of the AP. Bind radio profile wlan-radio2g to the radios.

   [AC-wlan-view] ap-group name ap-group1
   [AC-wlan-ap-group-ap-group1] vap-profile wlan-net wlan 1 radio 0
   [AC-wlan-ap-group-ap-group1] vap-profile wlan-net wlan 1 radio 1

   Warning: This action may cause service interruption. Continue?[Y/N]y
   [AC-wlan-ap-group-ap-group1] quit

6. Configure interworking between the ERP system and ESL management system. The detailed operations are not described here.
7. Configure Layer 2 interworking between the ESL card and ESL management system.

   # Add GE0/0/3 on the switch connected to the ESL management system to VLAN 102.

   [Switch] vlan batch 102
   [Switch] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/3
   [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/3] port link-type trunk

   [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/3] quit

   # Add GE0/0/2 on the switch connected to the AP to VLAN 102.

   [Switch] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2
   [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port trunk allow-pass vlan 102
   [Switch-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit

   # Add GE0 on the AP connected to the switch to VLAN 102.

8. Initialize the ESL card, register ESLs, associate ESL IDs with commodity codes, and configure ESL services. For detailed operations, see the operation guides provided by vendors, which are not described here.
9. Verify the configuration.

   # The WLAN service configuration is automatically delivered to the AP after it is completed. Run the display vap ssid wlan-net command. If Status in the command output is displayed as ON, the VAP has been successfully created on the AP radios.
