Example for Configuring an AP to Go Online Using a Static IP Address

Procedure

1. Configure the network devices.
   # Add GE0/0/1 and GE0/0/2 on Switch to VLAN 100. VLAN 100 is the default VLAN of GE0/0/1.

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

2. Configure the AC to communicate with the network devices.

   If the AC and APs are directly connected, set the default VLAN of the interfaces connected to the APs to management VLAN 100.

   # On the AC, add GE0/0/1 to VLAN 100. Create VLANIF 100 and set its IP address to 10.23.100.1/24.

   <HUAWEI> system-view
   [HUAWEI] sysname AC
   [AC] vlan batch 100
   [AC] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
   [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type trunk
   [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 100
   [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
   [AC] interface vlanif 100
   [AC-Vlanif100] ip address 10.23.100.1 24
   [AC-Vlanif100] quit
   

3. Configure an AP to go online.
   # Create an AP group to which the APs with the same configuration can be added.

   [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 default
   [AC-wlan-regulate-domain-default] country-code cn
   [AC-wlan-regulate-domain-default] quit
   [AC-wlan-view] ap-group name ap-group1
   [AC-wlan-ap-group-ap-group1] regulatory-domain-profile default
   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.

   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):********

   # 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.

   [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

4. Log in to the AP using the serial port and configure a static IP address for the AP.

   # Configure the AP static IP address and AC IP address.

   <Huawei> system-view
   [Huawei] ap-address mode static
   [Huawei] ap-address static ip-address 10.23.100.100 24 10.23.100.1
   [Huawei] ap-address static ac-list 10.23.100.1
   [Huawei] quit
   <Huawei> reboot
   System will reboot! Continue ? [y/n]:y 

5. Verify the configuration.
   # After the AP restarts, run the display ap all command on the AC to check the AP state. If the State field is displayed as nor, the AP goes online successfully.

   [AC-wlan-view] display ap all
   Total AP information:
   nor  : normal          [1]
