Usage Guidelines

You can run the forward-mode command to configure the forwarding mode in a VAP profile. The forwarding modes of VAP profiles can be different.

A soft GRE profile can be applied to a VAP profile only after a destination address is configured for the soft GRE tunnel in the soft GRE profile.

Example

# Create the VAP profile vap1 and set the forwarding mode to tunnel forwarding in the profile.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan 
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] vap-profile name vap1
[HUAWEI-wlan-vap-prof-vap1] forward-mode tunnel
