Introduction
The following information provides an example for configuring MiniAP management for MER series routers.
Prerequisites
This document is not restricted to specific software or hardware versions. Procedures and information in the examples might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the router.
The configuration examples were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.
The following information is provided based on the assumption that you have basic knowledge of MiniAP management.
Software versions used
This example is configured and verified on Release 0821P18 of the MER 8300 routers.
Example: Configuring MiniAP management
Network configuration
As shown in Figure 1, the router serves as the enterprise's egress gateway that is connected to the external network through interface GE0 with DHCP as the connection mode.
The AP connects to GE2/0 of the router through an L2 switch, and the router serves as a DHCP server to allocate IP addresses to both the AP and the client. To enable the client to access the Internet through the wireless connection provided by the AP, the specific requirements are as follows:
· The management VLAN for the AP is VLAN 1, with an IP address of 192.168.1.1/23.
· The client connects to the wireless networks with SSIDs service1 (2.4G network) and service2 (5G network) and password service@123.
· The IP address obtained by the client is 192.168.10.1/24 identified by VLAN 2.
Restrictions and guidelines
· You can edit the wireless network mode, bandwidth, channel, and transmit power as needed, which use the default settings in this example.
· The PVID of the interface connecting the AP on the router must match the management VLAN ID of the AP. In this example, the management VLAN of the AP is VLAN 1, so you must set the PVID for interface GE 2/0 to 1.
Analysis
· Create VLAN 2 on the router and assign GE2/0 to both VLAN 1 and VLAN 2.
· Create a wireless service template, add the SSIDs and passwords of both 2.4G and 5G networks to the template, and bind them to VLAN 2.
· Deploy the created wireless service template to the AP.
· Enable the PoE feature on the L2 switch to supply power to the AP.
Procedures
Configuring Internet access for interface GE0
# In this example, specify the external network for the router as single-WAN scenario, and the connection mode of the interface as DHCP.
1. Navigate to the Network Settings > External Networks page.
2. On the Scene tab, select Single-WAN scenario. Click Apply

3. Click the WAN Settings tab to enter the WAN configuration page.
4. Click the Edit icon in the Actions column for WAN0 (GE0) to enter the Edit WAN configuration page.
5. Select DHCP for Connection mode.
6. Enable NAT.
7. Use default settings for other configuration items, and then click Apply.

Creating VLANs
Creating VLAN 2 and configuring the interface IP address
1. Navigate to the Network Settings > LAN Settings page.
2. Click Add.
3. In the LAN interface type field, select WAN interface.
4. Enter VLAN ID 2.
5. Enter 192.168.10.1 for Interfaces IP address.
6. Enter 255.255.255.0 for Subnet mask.
7. Select Enable DHCP to enable the DHCP service.
8. Use default settings for other configuration items, and then click Apply.
Figure 4 Creating VLAN 2
Assigning GE2/0 to VLAN 2
# By default, GE2/0 is assigned to only VLAN 1. This example requires configuring both VLAN 1 and VLAN 2.
1. Navigate to the Network Settings > LAN Settings page.
2. Click the VLANs tab to enter the VLAN assignment page.
3. Click the Edit icon in the Actions column for GE2/0 to enter the detailed interface configuration page.
4. Add VLAN 2 to the selected VLAN list.
5. Click Apply.

Enabling AP management
# Enabling AP management to bring the AP online.
1. Navigate to the MiniAP Management > AP Settings page.
2. Enable the AP management feature.
3. Use default settings for other configuration items, and then click Apply.
Configuring a wireless service template
# You can configure the SSIDs and passwords of both 2.4G and 5G networks for the default template of the device. In this example, create a new wireless service template named map1:
1. Navigate to the MiniAP Management > Configuration Management page.
2. Click the Configuration Template Management tab to enter the configuration template management page.
3. Click Add.
4. Enter template name map1.
5. For the 2.4G configuration field, click the Edit icon in the Actions column for SSID-1 to enter the SSID configuration page.
6. Enter SSID name service1.
7. For the encryption method field, select WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK.
8. For the shared key configuration field, specify service@123.
9. Select Advanced Settings to configure advanced settings.
10. Enter 2 for bridge VLAN.
11. Use default settings for other configuration items, and then click Apply.
12. For the 5G configuration field, click the Edit icon in the Actions column for 5G-SSID-1 to enter the SSID configuration page.
13. Enter SSID name service2.
14. For the encryption method field, select WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK.
15. For the shared key configuration field, specify service@123.
16. Select Advanced Settings to configure advanced settings.
17. Enter 2 for bridge VLAN.
18. Use default settings for other configuration items, and then click Apply.
19. Use default settings for other configuration items, and then click Apply.
Deploying a wireless service template
# By default, the online AP is bound to the default template. This example deploys the created template map1 to the online AP.
1. Navigate to the MiniAP Management > Configuration Management page.
2. Click the Edit icon in the Actions column for the online AP to enter the AP configuration template modification page.
3. Select template map1.
4. Click OK.
Configuring L2 Switch
# Configure a VLAN and associated interfaces.
<L2 switch> system-view
[L2 switch] vlan 2
[L2 switch-vlan2] quit
[L2 switch] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
[L2 switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type trunk
[L2 switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port trunk permit vlan 1 2
[L2 switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit
[L2 switch] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2
[L2 switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port link-type trunk
[L2 switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port trunk permit vlan 1 2
[L2 switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] quit
# Enable remote power supply on an interface through PoE.
[L2 switch] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2
[L2 switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] poe enable
[L2 switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] quit
Verifying the configuration
The client can access the Internet through a wireless connection named service1 or service2, and it obtains an IP address of 192.168.10.1/24. The configuration is successful.
