Introduction

The following information provides an example of configuring a mesh link between a fit AP and a fat AP.

Prerequisites

The following information applies to Comware 7-based access controllers and access points. Procedures and information in the examples might be slightly different depending on the software or hardware version of the access controllers and access points.

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 WLAN mesh.

Example: Configuring a mesh link between a fit AP and a fat AP

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, in centralized forwarding mode, the AC in LAN 1 is connected to Switch 1, and Switch 1 assigns an IP address to the AP and client in LAN 1 as a DHCP server. Switch 2 assigns an IP address to the client in LAN 2 as a DHCP server. Configure the devices to meet the following requirements:

·     AP 1 obtains an IP address from the address pool on VLAN 10 configured on Switch 1 and comes online from the AC.

·     The clients in LAN 1 and LAN 2 are assigned to different VLANs and are reachable to each other at Layer 3.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Restrictions and guidelines

·     Use the serial ID labeled on the AP's rear panel to specify an AP.

·     Configure GE 1/0/4 that connects Switch 1 to the AP as a trunk port, and remove the port from VLAN 1.

Procedures

Configuring Switch 1

1.     Configure interfaces on Switch 1:

# Create VLAN 10 and VLAN-interface 10, and assign an IP address to the VLAN interface. The AC will use this IP address to establish a CAPWAP tunnel with the AP.

 State : I = Idle,      J  = Join,       JA = JoinAck,    IL = ImageLoad

         C = Config,    DC = DataCheck,  R  = Run,   M = Master,  B = Backup

 

AP name                        APID  State Model           Serial ID

ap1                            1     R/M   WA6330          219801A23V8192E00021

2.     Display mesh link information on the fat AP:

<AP2> display wlan mesh-link
