Example for Configuring Airtime Fair Scheduling

Networking Requirements

As shown in Figure 3-16, an enterprise deploys an AP to provide a WLAN with the SSID wlan-net so that users can access the network anywhere at any time.

The enterprise network administrator expects that users can be assigned equal bandwidth occupation time so that the overall user experience can be improved.

Data Preparation

Item	Data
Service VLAN for STAs	VLAN 101
DHCP server	The AP functions as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to STAs.
IP address pool for STAs	10.23.101.2-10.23.101.254/24
SSID profile	Name: wlan-net SSID name: wlan-net
Security profile	Name: wlan-net Security policy: WPA-WPA2+PSK+AES Password: a1234567
VAP profile	Name: wlan-net Service VLAN: VLAN 101 Referenced profile: SSID profile wlan-net and security profile wlan-net
RRM profile	Name: default Airtime fair scheduling: enabled
2G radio profile	Name: default Referenced profile: RRM profile default

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Use the WLAN configuration wizard to configure WLAN services.
Configure airtime fair scheduling to enable all users on a radio to occupy the network bandwidth for equal time, improving the overall user experience.
Connect STAs to the WLAN to verify the configuration.

Procedure

Configure basic WLAN services.
1. Choose Wizard > Config Wizard. The Configure Wi-Fi Signals page is displayed.
2. Configure Wi-Fi signals.
  # Click Create. The Basic Information page is displayed.
  
  # Configure basic information about an SSID.
  
  # Click Next. The IP and Rate page is displayed.
  
  # Set IP address parameters.
  
  Configure the DNS server address as required.
  
  # Click Finish.
3. Configure Internet connection parameters.
  # Click Next. The Configure Internet Connection page is displayed.
  
  # Add an interface to VLAN 101 in tagged mode.
  
  If you log in to the web platform using a PC whose Ethernet interface is being modified, do not delete the existing VLAN configuration on the interface to ensure that the PC can communicate with Fat APs. As shown in the following figure, GigabitEthernet0/0/0 is added to VLAN 1 by default and STAs communicate with the AP through this interface. You can use the default IP address of the AP to log in to the web platform. If you need to use the default IP address to log in to the web platform, do not delete VLAN 1.
  
  # Click Finish.
Configure airtime fair scheduling.
1. Configure a radio profile.
  
  The following example configures a 2G radio profile. The configuration of the 5G radio profile is similar.
  
  # Choose Configuration > WLAN Service > WLAN Config.
  
  # Choose Radio0 > Radio Management > Radio Profile in WLAN Config. The Radio Profile page is displayed. Retain the default settings of the radio profile parameters.
  
  # Click next to Radio Profile. The profiles referenced by the radio profile are displayed.
2. Configure the RRM profile and enable airtime fair scheduling in the RRM profile.
  # Click RRM Profile in Radio Management. The RRM profile configuration page is displayed.
  
  # Enable airtime fair scheduling.
  
  # Click Apply. In the dialog box that is displayed, click OK.
Verify the configuration.
1. The WLAN with the SSID wlan-net is available.
2. The STA can associate with the WLAN and obtain an IP address 10.23.101.x/24 and its gateway address is 10.23.101.1.
3. Choose Monitoring > Terminal Manage > STA Management. In User, you can see that STAs go online properly and obtain IP addresses.
4. Run the display rrm-profile name default command on the AP to check the configuration of the RRM profile. The command output shows that airtime fair scheduling has been enabled. Therefore, users on the network can fairly use the channel resources.
