Overview
FAT APs support WLAN-Radio physical interfaces and WLAN-BSS virtual interfaces. WLAN-Radio interfaces can be bound to WLAN-BSS interfaces to provide wireless network access.
WLAN-Radio Interface
Introduction
WLAN-Radio interfaces are physical interfaces and are used for providing wireless access service. They can be configured but cannot be removed.
Configuring a WLAN-Radio Interface
Follow these steps to configure a WLAN-Radio interface:
|
To do… |
Use the Command… |
Remarks |
|
Enter system view |
system-view |
— |
|
Enter WLAN-Radio interface view |
interface wlan-radio interface-number |
Required |
|
Set the description string for the interface |
description text |
Optional By default, the description string of an interface is interface-name + interface. |
|
Shut down the WLAN-Radio interface |
shutdown |
Optional By default, a WLAN-Radio interface is up. |
WLAN-BSS Interface
Introduction
WLAN-BSS interfaces are virtual Layer 2 interfaces. They operate like Layer 2 access Ethernet ports and have Layer 2 attributes. A WLAN-BSS interface supports multiple Layer 2 protocols. On a FAT AP, a WLAN-Radio interface bound to a WLAN-BSS interface operates as a Layer 2 interface.
Configuring a WLAN-BSS Interface
Follow these steps to configure a WLAN-BSS interface:
|
To do… |
Use the command… |
Remarks |
|
Enter system view |
system-view |
— |
|
Enter WLAN-BSS interface view |
interface wlan-bss interface-number |
Required If the WLAN-BSS interface does not exist, this command creates the WLAN-BSS interface first. |
|
Set the description string for the interface |
description text |
Optional By default, the description string of an interface is interface-name + interface. |
|
Add the WLAN-BSS interface to a VLAN |
port access vlan vlan-id |
Optional By default, an interface belongs to VLAN 1 (the default VLAN). |
|
Shut down the WLAN-BSS interface |
shutdown |
Optional By default, a WLAN-BSS interface is up. |
Before executing the port access vlan command, make sure the VLAN identified by the vlan-id argument already exists. You can use the vlan command to create a VLAN. For more information about the port access vlan command, see VLAN in the Layer 2 – LAN Switching Command Reference.
WLAN Mesh Interface
Introduction
WLAN mesh interfaces are Layer 2 virtual interfaces. You can use them as configuration templates to make and save settings for WLAN mesh link interfaces. Once a WLAN mesh link interface is created, you will not be allowed to change the settings on its associated WLAN mesh interface.
Entering WLAN Mesh Interface View
Follow these steps to enter WLAN mesh interface view:

|
Enter WLAN mesh interface view |
interface wlan-mesh interface-number |
Required If the specified WLAN mesh interface does not exist, this command creates the WLAN mesh interface first. |
Configuring a WLAN Mesh Interface

WLAN Mesh Link Interface
WLAN mesh link interfaces are similar to Layer 2 virtual Ethernet interfaces and have the features of Layer 2 interfaces. They are dynamically created or deleted by the WLAN module and are responsible for local data forwarding on the mesh network.
WLAN mesh link interfaces use the settings you made on their corresponding WLAN mesh interfaces and are not configurable.
