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 on switch interfaces connected to APs 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. For details on how to configure
traffic suppression, see 2.9.1 Multicast Packet Suppression Is Not Configured, Causing
Slow Network Access of STAs.

Procedure
Step 1 Configure Router as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to STAs.
# Configure Router as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to STAs from the IP address pool
on GE1/0/0.

NOTE

Configure the DNS server as required. The common methods are as follows:
l In interface address pool scenarios, run the dhcp server dns-list ip-address &<1-8> command in the
VLANIF interface view.
l In global address pool scenarios, run the dns-list ip-address &<1-8> command in the IP address pool
view.
[Router] dhcp enable
[Router] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/0
[Router-GigabitEthernet1/0/0] ip address 10.23.101.1 24
[Router-GigabitEthernet1/0/0] dhcp select interface
[Router-GigabitEthernet1/0/0] dhcp server excluded-ip-address 10.23.101.2

2.4 Security Policy Configuration Examples


2.4.1 Example for Configuring a WPA2-PSK-AES Security Policy

Service Requirements
Because the WLAN is open to users, there are potential security risks if no security policy is
configured for the WLAN. Users do not require high WLAN security, so no authentication
server is required. A WEP or WPA/WPA2 (pre-shared key) security policy can be configured.
STAs support WPA/WPA2, TKIP encryption, and AES encryption, so pre-shared key
authentication and AES encryption are used to secure data transmission.

Networking Requirements
l DHCP deployment mode: The AP functions as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to
STAs.

2.4.3 Example for Configuring External Portal Authentication


Service Requirements
Because a WLAN is open to users, there are potential security risks. To enable users to easily
associate with a WLAN, an AP uses the default security policy, that is, no authentication and
no encryption. Portal authentication is configured on APs to centrally manage access users.
Any user who accesses a WLAN is redirected to the Portal authentication web page. After
entering the correct user name and password, the user is authenticated by the RADIUS server.
The user can access the WLAN after the authentication succeeds.

Networking Requirements
l DHCP deployment mode: The AP functions as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to
STAs.

Wireless Access Points(Fat AP)
Web-based Configuration Guide 2 Configuration Examples (Common AP)

Service Requirements
WLAN is open to users and therefore has potential security risks. To manage access users in a
centralized manner, Portal authentication is configured on the FAT AP. Any user that attempts
to access the WLAN is redirected to the Portal authentication page. Users are authorized to
access the WLAN after entering the correct user names and passwords. If the enterprise has a
few number of users, the FAT AP can function as the Portal server to authenticate users
locally to reduce costs. Built-in Portal authentication requires no additional Portal server,
allowing for easy and flexible deployment. However, as the Portal server, the FAT AP
provides only basic web functions (such as user login and logout) but cannot replace an
independent Portal server or provide extended functions of an external Portal server.

Networking Requirements
l DHCP deployment mode: The AP functions as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to
STAs.

Configuration Roadmap
Configure the band steering function and proper band steering parameters so that users can
preferentially access the 5 GHz frequency band.

Configuration Notes
l Use AP that supports both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency bands and configure the same
SSID and security policy on the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz radios.
l To allow a STA to preferentially associate with the 5 GHz radio and achieve a better
access effect, configure larger power for the 5 GHz radio than the 2.4 GHz radio.
l 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 on switch interfaces connected to APs 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. For
details on how to configure traffic suppression, see 2.9.1 Multicast Packet Suppression
Is Not Configured, Causing Slow Network Access of STAs.

Procedure
Step 1 Configure the band steering function.

2.6 Example for Configuring WIDS/WIPS


Service Requirements
Due to openness of the WLAN, there are security risks. If attackers deploy an AP with the
SSID huawei on the network to forge an authorized AP, STAs may associate with the rogue
AP. If wireless terminals attack the WLAN network, for example, the terminals try to crack
the WAP2-PSK key or initiate flood attacks to the authorized AP, there are security risks on
the network. WIDS and WIPS need to be configured on the AP to detect attacks of rogue APs
and terminals.

Step 3 Configure priority mapping.


In this example, you must set the highest DSCP priority for video and voice packets to ensure
that the video and voice packets can be preferentially forwarded. By default, the voice and
video packets already have the highest DSCP priorities in the traffic profile. You only need to
set the trusted priority of downstream packets to DSCP on the air interface but does not need
to change the mapping value.
If you want to change the default priority mapping, for example, to make the priority of the
video packets higher than that of the voice packets, perform the following configuration.
# Choose Configuration > WLAN Service > WLAN Config.

# In the WLAN Config navigation tree, click Radio0. Click in front of VAP
Configuration. Under it, click in front of wlan-net. Click Traffic Profile. The Traffic
Profile page is displayed.
# Click Create. The Create Traffic Profile page is displayed.
# Enter the traffic profile name wlan-traffic in Profile name and click OK. The parameter
setting page is displayed.
# Configure priority mapping and set the mapped priority of video packets higher than that of
the voice packets.

NOTE

By default, the user priority of voice packets is set to 6 or 7 on the terminal, and that of the video packets is
set to 4 or 5.
In the following figure, the DSCP priorities of video packets are 48 and 56, and those of the voice packets are
32 and 40. Based on the settings, video packets will be preferentially transmitted.

# Click Apply. In the Info dialog box that is displayed, click OK.
Step 4 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.

2.9 Common Misconfigurations

2.9.1 Multicast Packet Suppression Is Not Configured, Causing


Slow Network Access of STAs

Symptom
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

Wireless Access Points(Fat AP)
Web-based Configuration Guide 2 Configuration Examples (Common AP)

are usually sent at low rates. If a large amount of abnormal multicast traffic is received on the
network side, the air interfaces may be congested, and STAs may suffer from slow network
access. 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.
l In direct forwarding mode, you are advised to configure multicast packet suppression on
switch interfaces connected to APs.
l In tunnel forwarding mode, you are advised to configure multicast packet suppression on
WLAN-ESS interfaces of the AC.

Procedure
l Configure multicast packet suppression in direct forwarding mode.
a. Create the traffic classifier test and define a matching rule.
<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] sysname SwitchA
[SwitchA] traffic classifier test
[SwitchA-classifier-test] if-match destination-mac 0100-5e00-0000 mac-
address-mask ffff-ff00-0000 //Match the destination MAC address of
multicast packets.
[SwitchA-classifier-test] quit

b. Create the traffic behavior test, enable traffic statistics collection, and set the traffic
rate limit.
[SwitchA] traffic behavior test
[SwitchA-behavior-test] statistic enable
[SwitchA-behavior-test] car cir 100 //Set the rate limit to 100
kbit/s. If multicast services are available, you are advised to set the
rate limit according to the service traffic.
[SwitchA-behavior-test] quit

c. Create the traffic policy test and bind the traffic classifier and traffic behavior to the
traffic policy.
[SwitchA] traffic policy test
[SwitchA-trafficpolicy-test] classifier test behavior test
[SwitchA-trafficpolicy-test] quit

d. Apply the traffic policy to inbound or outbound directions of interfaces.


[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] traffic-policy test inbound
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] traffic-policy test outbound
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
