Service Requirements

An enterprise branch needs to deploy WLAN services for mobile office so that branch users can access the enterprise network from anywhere at any time. Furthermore, users' services are not affected during roaming in the coverage area.

The branch is located in an open place, making the WLAN vulnerable to attacks. For example, an attacker deploys a rogue AP (area_2) with SSID wlan-net on the WLAN to establish connections with STAs to intercept enterprise information, posing great threats to the enterprise network. To prevent such attack, the detection and containment function can be configured for authorized APs. In this way, the AC can detect rogue AP area_2 (neither managed by the AC nor in the authorized AP list), preventing STAs from associating with the rogue AP.

Networking Requirements

AC networking mode: Layer 2 networking in bypass mode
DHCP deployment mode:
- The AC functions as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to APs.
- The aggregation switch (SwitchB) functions as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to STAs.
Service data forwarding mode: tunnel forwarding

Configuration Roadmap

Configure basic WLAN services to enable STAs to connect to the WLAN.
Configure rogue device detection and containment so that APs can detect wireless device information and report it to the AC. In addition, APs can contain detected rogue devices, enabling STAs to disassociate from them.

In this example, the authorized APs work in normal mode and have the detection function enabled. In addition to transmitting WLAN service data, AP radios need to perform the monitoring function. A transient increase in the WLAN service latency may occur, which does not affect network access. However, if any latency-sensitive service (such as videoconferencing) is running, it is recommended that a separate radio be used for air scan.

Configuration Notes

No ACK mechanism is provided for multicast packet transmission on air interfaces. In addition, wireless links are unstable. To ensure stable transmission of multicast packets, they are usually sent at low rates. If a large number of such multicast packets are sent from the network side, the air interfaces may be congested. You are advised to configure multicast packet suppression to reduce impact of a large number of low-rate multicast packets on the wireless network. Exercise caution when configuring the rate limit; otherwise, the multicast services may be affected.
- In direct forwarding mode, you are advised to configure multicast packet suppression on switch interfaces connected to APs.
- In tunnel forwarding mode, you are advised to configure multicast packet suppression in traffic profiles of the AC.
For details on how to configure traffic suppression, see How Do I Configure Multicast Packet Suppression to Reduce Impact of a Large Number of Low-Rate Multicast Packets on the Wireless Network?.
Configure port isolation on the interfaces of the device directly connected to APs. If port isolation is not configured and direct forwarding is used, a large number of unnecessary broadcast packets may be generated in the VLAN, blocking the network and degrading user experience.
In tunnel forwarding mode, the management VLAN and service VLAN cannot be the same. Only packets from the management VLAN are transmitted between the AC and APs. Packets from the service VLAN are not allowed between the AC and APs.

# Configure the AC's source interface.

In V200R021C00 and later versions, when the CAPWAP source interface or source address is configured, the system checks whether security-related configurations exist, including the PSK for DTLS encryption, PSK for DTLS encryption between ACs, user name and password for logging in to the AP, and password for logging in to the global offline management VAP, the configuration can be successful only when both of them exist. Otherwise, the system prompts you to complete the configuration first.

[AC] capwap source interface vlanif 100
Set the DTLS PSK(contains 6-32 plain-text characters, or 48 or 68 cipher-text characters that must be a combination of at least two of the following: lowercase letters a to z, uppercase letters A to Z, digits, and special characters):******

Set the DTLS inter-controller PSK(contains 6-32 plain-text characters, or 48 or 68 cipher-text characters that must be a combination of at least two of the following: lowercase letters a to z, uppercase letters A to Z, digits, and special characters):******

Set the user name for FIT APs(contains 4-31 plain-text characters, which can only include letters, digits and underlines. And the first character must be a letter):admin

Set the password for FIT APs(plain-text password of 8-128 characters or cipher-text password of 48-188 characters that must be a combination of at least three of the following: lowercase letters a to z, uppercase letters A to Z, digits, and special characters):********

Set the global temporary-management psk(contains 8-63 plain-text characters, or 48-108 cipher-text characters that must be a combination of at least two of the following: lowercase letters a to z, uppercase letters A to Z, digits, and special characters):********

# Enable the function of establishing CAPWAP DTLS sessions in none authentication mode. (V200R021C00 and later versions)

[AC] capwap dtls no-auth enable

From V200R021C00, DTLS encryption is enabled for CAPWAP control tunnels on the AC by default. After this function is enabled, an AP will fail to go online when it is added. In this case, you need to enable CAPWAP DTLS non-authentication for the AP so that the AP can obtain a security credential. After the AP goes online, disable this function to prevent unauthorized APs from going online.

# Import the AP offline on the AC and add the AP to AP group ap-group1. Assume that the AP's MAC address is 60de-4476-e360. Configure a name for the AP based on the AP's deployment location, so that you can know where the AP is deployed from its name. For example, name the AP area_1 if it is deployed in 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 AP5030DN is used and has two radios: radio 0 and radio 1. Radio 0 of the AP5030DN works on the 2.4 GHz frequency band and radio 1 works on the 5 GHz frequency band.
