Configuring WLAN interfaces

WLAN-ESS interface

The interface that allows the wireless local area net to cover all the WLAN-ESS interfaces is a virtual Layer 2 interface. This interface operates like Layer 2 access Ethernet ports with Layer 2 attributes. It also supports multiple Layer 2 protocols. A WLAN-ESS interface can also be used as a template for configuring WLAN-DBSS interfaces. A WLAN-DBSS interfaces created on a WLAN-ESS interface adopts the configuration of the WLAN-ESS interface.

2.     Enter WLAN-ESS interface view.

interface wlan-ess interface-number

If the WLAN-ESS interface does not exist, this command creates the WLAN-ESS interface first.

3.     Restore the default settings of the WLAN-ESS interface.

Configuring a WLAN-ESS interface

You can configure the description of a WLAN-ESS interface and assign the interface to a common VLAN or multicast VLAN. This section provides general information on features supported on WLAN-ESS interfaces. For more information about these features and commands, see the corresponding chapters in the configuration guide and command reference.

To configure a WLAN-ESS interface:

 

Step

Command

1.     Configure the description of the interfaceN/A

2.     Configure the VLAN.

·     port access vlan

·     port hybrid vlan

·     port hybrid pvid vlan

·     port link-type

3.     Configure multicast.

·     Configure multicast VLAN:
port multicast-vlan

·     Configure IPv6 multicast VLAN:
port multicast-vlan ipv6

4.     Configure a MAC authentication guest VLAN.

mac-authentication guest-vlan

 

 

NOTE:

·     Before executing the port access vlan command, make sure the VLAN specified by the vlanid argument already exists. You can use the vlan command to create a VLAN. For more information about the port access vlan command, see Layer 2 Command Reference.

·     Some configurations made on (only VLAN-related configurations) a WLAN-ESS interface with WLAN-DBSS interfaces created on it cannot be modified, and the WLAN-ESS interface cannot be removed either.

 

WLAN-DBSS interface

WLAN-DBSS interfaces are virtual Layer 2 interfaces. They operate like Layer 2 Ethernet ports of the access link type. They also support multiple Layer 2 protocols and 802.1X. A WLAN-DBSS interface that has been created on a WLAN-ESS interface adopts the configuration of the WLAN-ESS interface. On a wireless switch, the WLAN module dynamically creates a WLAN-DBSS interface for each wireless access service and removes the interface after the service expires.

WLAN mesh interface

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. After a WLAN mesh link interface is created, you are not allowed to change the settings on its associated 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.
