Basic settings

¡     Auto SSIDEnables the system to combine the configured SSID and the device name to form an SSID name for easy identification. For example, if the configured SSID is Hotel and the device name is 1103, the SSID name will be Hotel_1103. The automatically generated SSID name cannot exceed 32 characters. To avoid errors, do not specify a long SSID.

With auto SSID enabled, you must click Auto SSID Setting Sync after changing the AP name or importing APs to deploy the SSID settings to devices.

¡     Wireless ServiceEnable or disable the service. Disabling a service logs off clients that came online through the service.

Advanced settings

¡     Forwarding mode

-     Bridge Mode—Supports configuring a VLAN. In this mode, the AP provides only Layer 2 forwarding for clients and the DHCP server acts as the uplink gateway. The bridge mode is not supported if the AP is connected to the network through PPPoE or by using a static IP address.

-     NAT Mode—Does not support configuring a VLAN. In this mode, the AP acts as the DHCP server for client access. To specify the gateway IP address, subnet mask, and DHCP server, click DHCP Address Pool.

 

 

NOTE:

·     DHCP address pool modifications take effect immediately on all SSIDs in NAT mode.

·     Make sure the configured gateway IP address does not conflict with the IP addresses of APs obtained through DHCP.

 

¡     VLANThis field is required if the bridge mode is used. Clients accessing a wireless service joins the specified VLAN automatically. By default, the VLAN ID is 1.

¡     Hide SSID—Disables clients from discovering the SSID through active scanning. To access the network, users must enter the SSID to perform passive scanning. This enhances network security.

¡     Encryption—Enables the system to encrypt client traffic to enhance network security. Available options include PSK, 802.1X, and Off.

¡     Configure AAA (RADIUS)Specifies the RADIUS server for 802.1X encryption.

 

 

NOTE:

This field is required for 802.1X encryption. Support for built-in server varies by device model.

 

-     If you select Build-in Server, the cloud-managed AP acts as the RADIUS server. You can configure the account and password for 802.1X authentication from Cloudnet. For more information, see "Managing 802.1X users."

-     If you select External Server, configure the external authentication server, the accounting server, and the ISP domain. You must configure the account and password for 802.1X authentication on the external server.

¡     Radio TypeSpecifies the radio type. Options include 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

¡     User Isolation—Isolates clients that access the same SSID provided by the same AP.

¡     Client Rate Limit—Rate limits data receiving and transmission of clients that access the SSID.

¡     AuthenticationTo configure authentication, click Auth Config. For more information, see "Configuring basic authentication settings."

¡     Authentication Fail PermitEnables portal users to access network resources without being authenticated when the Cloudnet platform cannot be reached. After the cloud connection recovers, unauthenticated portal users must be authenticated to access the resources. Authenticated portal users are not affected.

¡     DHCP Option82Records location information about DHCP clients, based on which administrators can locate DHCP clients and perform security control and accounting tasks. With this field enabled, you must also specify the Circuit ID type:

-     If you select Normal, the system automatically fills the DHCP Option82 field with VLAN ID and port number information.

-     If you select wlan-private, the system fills the DHCP Option82 field with WLAN, interface name, VLAN ID, SSID, radio MAC (BSSID), host name, and AP MAC address information.

¡     EoGREUses Ethernet over GRE (EoGRE) to encapsulate Ethernet data packets for the packets to be transmitted in an IP network, thus providing inter-Layer 2 network interconnection. For more information about available EoGRE templates, see "Configuring EoGRE cloud-managed AP templates."

¡     Filter Client MACsUses a client MAC address denylist or allowlist to control client access. With the allowlist configured, only clients in the list can access the wireless service. With the denylist configured, clients in the list cannot access the wireless service.

 

 

NOTE:

·     Support for the NAT mode, client MAC filtering, user isolation, and client rate limit depends on the device model.

·     EoGRE is not supported if the forwarding mode is NAT.

·     EoGRE is not supported if the forwarding mode is bridge and VLAN 1 is not used.

 

Configuring the domain name whitelist or blacklist

1.     Click the Wi-Fi Settings tab, and click the down chevron  to expand the Domain Name Whitelist and Blacklist menu.

2.     Select Set Domain Name Whitelist or Set Domain Name Blacklist to edit the whitelist or blacklist. You can add and delete entries as needed.

Domains in the whitelist can be accessed by online clients directly without authentication and domains in the blacklist cannot be accessed by online clients.

If a domain name exists in both the whitelist and blacklist, the blacklist takes effect.

Configuring advanced settings

 

NOTE:

Support for advanced settings depends on the device model.

 

1.     Click the Wi-Fi Settings tab, and then click the down chevron  to expand the Advanced Settings menu.

2.     Configure the following settings as needed:

¡     5GHz-PreferredEnables dual-band clients to prefer 5 GHz radios.

¡     5GHz Load BalanceEnables the system to balance clients between two 5 GHz radios on the same AP. If the client quantity on a 5 GHz radio reaches 40 and the client quantity gap between the two radios reaches 10, the system hides the SSID of the heavily loaded radio.

¡     WLAN ProbeEnables APs to snoop wireless packets to monitor the wireless environment.

Configuring wireless authentication

Cloud-managed APs support the following authentication methods:

·     One-key authenticationAuthenticates clients by MAC address. This authentication method is applicable to scenarios with low audit and operation requirements and allows users to push ads to clients at authentication.

·     SMS authenticationAuthenticates clients by phone number and verification code. No password is required. This method is applicable to scenarios with high audit or operation requirements, such as public scenarios.

·     Account authenticationAuthenticates clients by username and password. This method is applicable to scenarios with relatively fixed clients, for example, a campus of an office.

·     Guest authentication—After configuration, a guest can access the network after the approver scans the QR code appeared on the endpoint used by the guest and approves the access. The QR code is valid for five minutes. When the QR code expires, the guest must refresh the QR code.

·     Member authenticationEnables members to access the network by entering his or her phone number on the authentication page. Non-members must register on the authentication page first and then access the network as members.

·     WeChat official account authenticationAllows users to be authenticated through a WeChat official account. This method is applicable to public scenarios with high business demands to increase followers of the official account. The service provider must provide the QR code for customers to scan.

·     Facebook authentication—With Facebook authentication enabled, clients will be redirected to the Facebook login page for authentication. They can access the network only after granting the Cloudnet platform to obtain their Facebook information from Facebook.

Configuring basic authentication settings

¡     EoGRE Name.

¡     Mode—Select the tunnel mode. Options include EoGRE Tunnel Mode and EoGRE-in-UDP Tunnel Mode. To forward Ethernet packets to another Layer 3 network through NAT, use the EoGRE-in-UDP tunnel mode. In any other cases, use the EoGRE tunnel mode.

¡     IPv4 Tunnel Dest AddressSpecify the IP address of the physical interface from which the peer receives packets transmitted through the EoGRE tunnel. Make sure the address is in a different subnet as the tunnel interface address.

¡     Path MTU DiscoverySelect whether to enable path MTU discovery. This feature enables the source to adjust the tunnel interface MTU based on the ICMP messages generated for packets discarded because of the MTU configured on a node along the tunnel. This ensures that packets can be transmitted through the tunnel correctly.

¡     MTUSet the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for the tunnel interface.

¡     ToS in IP HeaderSpecify the ToS value in the IP header of all packets transmitted through the tunnel. The ToS value is used to identify the packet service type. Packets transmitted through the tunnel are of the same service type.

¡     Tunnel Keepalive IntervalSet the interval at which the device sends GRE keepalive packets. If the device fails to receive any response from the peer after sending a specific number of keepalive requests, it sets the tunnel state to down. If the device receives a keepalive acknowledge from the peer, it sets the tunnel state to up.

¡     Max Tunnel Keepalive AttemptsSet the maximum number of keepalive requests that can be sent consecutively.

¡     Network Policy IDSpecify the network policy ID for the peer server to identify the policy in use. If EoGRE packets must carry the network policy ID and AP MAC address, you can configure this field.
