In this step, Figure step, Figure 6-10 and Figure and Figure 6-11 are the same displayed page for configuring the xiansim. Enter the WLAN account (phone number) and password (service password of the phone number) in the identity and password text boxes in Figure 6-11, and 6-11, and touch Save. When the WLAN account and password are entered, the Connect button is replaced by the Save button. After the Save button is touched, the Connect button shows again.

Security Configuration

This chapter describes how to perform the AP security configurations.

7.1 Configuring an Access Control List (ACL) An AP can work in three access modes: blacklist, whitelist and non-authentication. In blacklist mode, STAs on the blacklist are not allowed to go online. In whitelist mode, all STAs can go online if the whitelist does not contain any MAC address. However, However, if the whitelist is not empty, STAs STAs only with their MAC address on the whitelist can go online. By default, an AP works in non-authentication mode. NOTE

A blacklist or whitelist is used to control the access of STAs to a WLAN network. A blacklist or whitelist contains a maximum of 512 MAC addresses. After the added MAC reaches the maximum, no more MAC address can be added.

7.1.1 Configuring a Whitelist Step 1 Enable an AP to work in whitelist mode. [MAG9811-wlan-ac-view]sta-access-mode ap 0 whitelist

Step 2 Add the MAC address of a STA to the whitelist.

8 Routine Maintenance

Routine Maintenance

This chapter describes how to perform AP upgrade and routine maintenance.

8.1 AP Alarms AP alarms are collected through the interface that links the AP to the AC and reported to and displayed on the NMS. The most frequently reported AP alarms include CPU overload alarms, AP offline alarms, interference alarms, and software upgrade failure alarms. Despite different methodologies of different vendors for displaying and reporting AP alarms on their network management system (NMS) equipment, the Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based Internets (MIB-II) [RFC1213] standards are all observed.

8.3 Version Upgrade For details about how to upgrade an AP, see AP see AP Upgrade Guide. Guide.





































During a replacement, the external of an AP does not need to be replaced. If an AP uses internal antennas, ensure that the horizontal and vertical scale values on the scale plate of the AP mounting kit remain unchanged after the replacement. The following figure is an example of scale values of an AP antenna. If an AP implements backhaul on a WDS network, a WDS backhaul test is required to check the backhaul signal quality. quality.

8.6 Configuring a Static IP Address By default, an AP uses a dynamic IP address to search for an AC and access a WLAN. If an AP fails to access a WLAN using a dynamic IP address, configure a static IP address for the AP by referring to the following steps:

8.6.1 In Scenarios Where a STA Connects to an AP over an Ethernet Port A STA can connect to an AP over an Ethernet port on the AP. The following describes the procedure for configuring configuring a static IP address in this scenario. scenario.

Step 1 Connect the computer to the transmission equipment or DATA port on the PSE. Step 2 Change the IP address of the computer. NOTE

Ensure that the IP address of the computer is in the same network segment as that of the AP. For example, if the AP uses the default local maintenance IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0, you can change the IP address of the computer and subnet mask to 192.168.1.2 and 255.255.255.0, respectively.

Step 3 Log in to the AP in SSH mode. NOTE

The default user name is admin and password is hwap@com. .

WARNING



































8.6.2 In Scenarios Where a STA Connects to an AP over a Management VLAN A STA can also connect to an AP over the management VAP of an AP. The management VAP can be automatically created by the AP or delivered by the AC. If an AP fails to connect the AC or the connection over the Ethernet port is interrupted for five to six minutes, a management VAP is automatically created on the AP. The SSID of this : XX : XX XX XX : XX XX : XX XX :XX , where the management VAP is HuaweiAPMgtXX XX stands for the MAC address of the Ethernet port of the AP. AP. XX XX :XX XX :XX : XX XX XX : XX XX : XX stands Users can also configure a management VAP on the AC and deliver it to the AP for AP maintenance. The SSID of this management VAP is combination of the name configured by users and the MAC address of the Ethernet port of the AP. AP. For example, if the configured name is usrtest and the MAC address of the Ethernet port of the AP is : XX XX : XX XX : XX . XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, the SSID is usrtestXX XX :XX XX :XX XX

Management VAP Created by the AP If the Ethernet port of the AP fails to work properly and users cannot log in to the AP in in SSH mode due to unavailable link connectivity between the PC and the AP caused by damage of network cables or faults on the switch, users can log in to the AP over the management VAP that is automatically created by the AP to maintain the AP. The following describes how to configure a static IP address in scenarios where users log in to the AP over the automatically created management VAP.

Step 1 Use a STA, for example a laptop, to search the SSID of the management VAP that is automatically created by the AP.

Step 2 Enable the STA to connect to the AP using the searched SSID.





































NOTE

In this example, assume that the configured ESSID name is mgmt_test , and the management VAP is configured for AP 0. The management VAP configured on the AC only supports open authentication and WEP authentication.

Step 2 Change the type of the ESSID to management VAP. [MAG9811-wlan-ac-view]ess modify name mgmt_test type ap-management

Step 3 Query the ID of the profile that AP 0 is using. [MAG9811-wlan-ac-view]display ap id

0

AP 0 detail information: AP type ID: 22 AP type: WA251DT-NE AP profile ID: 0

The command output shows that the ID of the AP profile profile is 0.

Step 4 Enable management VAP on the AC. [MAG9811-wlan-ac-view]ap-profile id 0 [MAG9811-wlan-ap-prof-ap-profile-0]mgmt-vap-unclose
