Fast deployment
Introduction
A traditional network deployment requires you to log in to the gateway, switch, AC, and fat AP one by one and configure VLAN, WAN port, and Wi-Fi settings on each device. This is time-consuming and lacks logic. To address this issue, use QuickNet to deploy the network as a whole in a unified manner.
After connecting your mobile phone to the default Wi-Fi H3C_QuickNet, you can use the browser or Cloudnet App Int to access the QuickNet management Web interface and deploy a network as prompted. During the deployment, you can view the network typology and configure administrator password, region code, export device, and wireless services in one step. After configuration, all settings will be deployed to the entire network and take effect.
Guidelines
Wireless devices support QuickNet user Wi-Fi and single device management Wi-Fi.
· QuickNet user Wi-Fi:
After a QuickNet-capable device is powered on with factory defaults, the management device will release signals of the Wi-Fi named H3C_QuickNet. You can connect the device to the Wi-Fi and access the QuickNet management Web interface for full-network deployment and O&M. Wireless services added on the global Wi-Fi configuration page are also QuickNet Wi-Fis.
· Single device management Wi-Fi:
This service is used for non-QuickNet device deployment and single device management. The AP releases singles of the single device management Wi-Fi H3C_XXXXXX, of which XXXXXX represents the last six characters of the device MAC address. You can connect the device to the Wi-Fi and access the local management Web interface for the device. After the QuickNet network is deployed, the system will hide the device management Wi-Fi automatically.
Deploying a QuickNet network without a gateway
Network features
QuickNet supports flexible networking and third-party devices. As shown in Figure 2, a third-party gateway (modem or router for example) is available. To deploy the network, you only need to purchase QuickNet-capable switch and APs, connect the devices as shown in the figure, and deploy the network as instructed on the Web interface. Then, you can use the QuickNet management interface to manage and maintain the switch and APs in a unified manner.
Procedure
1. Connect devices as follows:
¡ Connect the switch uplink port to the LAN port of the third-party gateway and the switch downlink port to the AP. Power the AP through PoE.
¡ Switch the AP mode to cloud mode. For more information about switching the AP mode, see H3C Wi-Fi 6 Access Points Operating Mode Switching Guide.
¡ Configure the third-party gateway as the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to the AP and wireless clients.
2. Power on the switch and APs with factory defaults. The devices will obtain their IP addresses through VLAN 1 and elect a management device. After the election, the management device will release signals of the Wi-Fi named H3C_QuickNet.
|
|
NOTE: In a QuickNet network without a gateway deployed, only the APs will participate in the management device election. |
3. Connect a mobile phone to wireless service H3C_QuickNet and then use either of the following methods to access the QuickNet welcome page:
¡ Use a browser to access quicknet.h3c.com.
¡ Open Cloudnet App Int and click Local Mgmt.
You can perform this task as long as your device can connect to wireless service H3C_QuickNet and you do not need to identify the management device location or the powering status of all devices.
4. On the QuickNet welcome page, click Start. You can view the network typology from My Network and verify if devices are powered on and ready.
5. On the deployment page, configure the following settings:
¡ Specify an administrator password. This password applies to all incorporated devices in the QuickNet network.
¡ Select a region code. The region code takes effect on all incorporated devices in the QuickNet network.
¡ Configure network access. After you specify an egress device and an uplink port, the system switches the link type of the uplink port to trunk and adds the port to global VLANs. If you add a global VLAN afterwards, the uplink port is assigned to the new global VLAN automatically.
|
|
NOTE: · QuickNet supports specifying only one egress device. · In the scenario where no gateway exists in the network, specify the switch as the egress device as a best practice. |
¡ Configure Wi-Fi settings. Complete the wireless service settings as needed.
After the deployment is finished, the page prompts information about device upgrade for you to learn about the current device versions. You can upgrade device versions as needed.

Intelligent radio optimization
Radio interference can affect user experience of wireless networks. Common radio interference includes co-channel interference and adjacent channel interference.
· Co-channel interference—AP radios operating on the same channel interfere with each other. For example, the 2.4 GHz band has very limited non-overlapping channels. Therefore, in real cases, one channel is often used by multiple APs, which causes co-channel interference.
· Adjacent channel interference—AP radios operating on different channels interfere with each other. For APs with different center frequencies, overlapping radio bandwidth of the APs will cause adjacent channel interference. This issue often occurs in the scenario when high density of APs are deployed and the 2.4 GHz APs use different non-overlapping channel groups with the transmit power too strong or the AP space too close.
To reduce impact of the above issues on wireless networks, you can adjust radio channels, bandwidth, and power. Intelligent radio optimization can make intelligent adjustments to network changes and provides continuous progressive optimization without an AC, cloud platform, or other network management software. At the same time, the radio parameter adjustment are real-time and accurate by using intelligence-native AP edging computing.
The Intelligent Radio Optimization area provides the following information:
· Intelligent Optimization—Enables APs to operate with the best status in the current wireless network by optimizing parameters such as channel, bandwidth, and power. To enable intelligent radio optimization, click the switch for Intelligent Optimization.
· Optimization Record—Select to display adjustment data or radio interference information.
¡ Adjustment Data—Displays the radio parameter values before and after the adjustment by AP.
To search for the adjustment record for an AP, enter AP name, IP address, serial number, or MAC address in the search box.

VLANs
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) technology divides a physical LAN into multiple logical LANs. When a VLAN is specified:
· Only devices in the VLAN can access each other directly, which increases LAN security.
· Broadcasts packets will only be forwarded within the VLAN, which limits the broadcast range.
· Devices at different locations can be grouped together by the VLAN, which realizes a flexible network construction.
QuickNet supports global and local VLAN configuration.
· Global VLAN—Takes effect on all devices incorporated by QuickNet. The add, delete, and edit operations take effect on all devices in the network.
· Local VLAN—Takes effect only on the local device. For more information about configuring local a VLAN, see VLANs in "Devices."
