Restrictions and cautions

Restrictions

·            In an AC hierarchy network, an AP supports either local forwarding or centralized forwarding, but not both.

·            When you configure DPI features for WX2800X related devices, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

¡  When security features are enabled, the recommended WLAN specifications are: APs ≤ 128, clients = 1000, sessions = 50000.

¡  Except for the basic DPI features (application rate limiting and URL filtering), you can configure only one of the other five features (application auditing, data filtering, file filtering, IPS, and AV).

¡  The simple mode web interface supports only application rate limiting and URL filtering configuration. To configure other features, use the CLI or the professional mode web interface.

·            To use IMC for management, set the SNMP timeout timer to 60 seconds for the managed devices and disable wireless performance monitoring.

·            For user isolation configured for a service template to take effect, do not configure ARP proxy on the Layer 3 interface bound with the service template.

·            As a best practice, add the TCP MSS 1452 configuration to the dialer interface if PPPoE is configured.

·            In a local forwarding network, the time range deployed through ACL to clients authenticated on the AC does not take effect

·            Under the Pakistan region code, when the AP works on the regulatory-supported channel 165, some clients cannot receive Beacon frames. As a best practice, use another channel.

·            If you want to use Wifi7 series APs, please upload the AP version file in the AC version compressed package to the root directory of AC.

Cautions

·            Use either the web interface or CLI but not both for configuration.

·            If the device provides a USB port, only file transmission is supported by using a USB drive, and the file format must be FAT32.

·            For a WA6522, WA6520, WA6520-E, WA6530i, WA6530-E, WA6520H, WA6520H-E, WA6520H-SI, WA6520H-HI, WA6520-EG or WA6520H-JP device connected to a switch through a 2.5G/10G transceiver module, when you upgrade the device from a version earlier than 2595P26 to 2595P26 or later, you must remove the speed 2500 configuration from the peer switch, or configure speed 2500 on both ends of the fiber ports. If you do not do so, the link might not work.

·            • During a soft reboot of the device or when the PSE chip maintains power supply, the device does not supply power to newly connected PDs for preventing power overload. However, the device cannot control power overload caused by continuous increase in power of PDs that are receiving power.
• During startup or normal operation of the device, the system performs power detection every 2 seconds. Overload protection is provided if a power overload (the maximum PSE power is exceeded) occurs at a timepoint when power detection is being performed. Overload protection is not provided if an overload occurs at a timepoint when power detection is not being performed. These unprotected overload conditions include:
 Power surge of a PD within 2 seconds, which will trigger power protection and cause the device to restart.
 Multiple PDs are connected to the device simultaneously within 2 seconds when the PSE power consumption is less than the PoE threshold and PoE is enabled on PIs, which triggers the power protection mechanism and cause the device to restart. In actual scenarios, the network cable connection speed is usually not that fast.
• When the PSE power consumption exceeds the PoE threshold, the system does not supply power to newly connected PDs. As a result, the PSE power consumption may not reach the maximum PSE power. The maximum PSE power and PoE threshold of the devices are as follows:
 MSG370-8-PWR/WX2510X-PWR-LI/WSG1808X-PWR: The maximum PSE maximum power is 80 W, and the PoE threshold is 70 W.
 MSG370-12-PWR/WSG1812X-PWR/WX2812X-PWR: The maximum PSE maximum is 150 W, and the PoE threshold is 140 W.

Open problems and workarounds

202111060373

·            Symptom: Configure the maximum allowed client number only in service template view.

·            Condition: When the number of clients associated with a wireless service on a radio reaches the maximum allowed client number, all wireless services bound with the radio hide their SSIDs.

·            Workaround: This symptom might occur if you configure the maximum allowed client number for a radio on an AP.

202304150300

·            Symptom: Enable or disable behavior management.

·            Condition: The Behavior Mgmt page does not display any data.

·            Workaround: This symptom might occur if you enable and disable behavior management repeatedly from the Web interface in standard mode.

202311300321

·            Symptom: Inter-VLAN communication is unavailable for clients under the same AP but inter-AP or intra-VLAN communication is normal.

·            Condition: If the AP version is 2595P02 to 2595P26, inter-VLAN communication is unavailable for clients under the same AP.

·            Workaround: Configure rate limit based on radio or service templates (any rate value is acceptable, it is not recommended to configure without the above issues).

Appendix B Upgrading software

This section describes how to upgrade system software while the device is operating correctly or when the device cannot correctly start up.

Software types

The following software types are available:

·            Boot ROM image—A .bin file that contains a basic section and an extended section. The basic section is the minimum code that bootstraps the system. The extended section enables hardware initialization and provides system management menus. You can use these menus to load application software and the startup configuration file or manage files when the device cannot correctly start up.

·            Comware image—Includes the following image subcategories:

¡  Boot image—A .bin file that contains the Linux operating system kernel. It provides process management, memory management, file system management, and the emergency shell.

¡  System image—A .bin file that contains the minimum feature modules required for device operation and some basic features, including device management, interface management, and configuration management. To have advanced features, you must purchase feature packages.

¡  Feature package—Includes a set of advanced software features. Users purchase feature packages as needed.

¡  Patch packages—Irregularly released packages for fixing bugs without rebooting the device. A patch package does not add new features or functions.

Comware software images that have been loaded are called "current software images." Comware images specified to load at the next startup are called "startup software images."

Boot ROM image, boot image, and system image are required for the system to work. These images might be released separately or as a whole in one .ipe package file. If an .ipe file is used, the system automatically decompresses the file, loads the .bin boot and system images and sets them as startup software images.

Because of limitation of the AC storage space, the .ipe files of some APs cannot be packed into the AC's ipe file, and will be packed into the compressed file for software release. To view and install AP ipe files:

1.      Access the \apimge directory.

<Sysname> cd apimge

2.      Execute the dir command to identify whether required files exist.

<Sysname> dir

Directory of flash:/apimge

   0 -rw-    14344192 Oct 29 2019 14:59:40   wa4300h.ipe

   1 -rw-    14307328 Oct 29 2019 14:57:22   wa4300s.ipe

   2 -rw-    21172224 Oct 29 2019 14:59:28   wa5300.ipe

   3 -rw-    37281792 Oct 29 2019 14:59:48   wa6500.ipe

   4 -rw-    45034496 Oct 29 2019 14:58:10   wt1010.ipe

   5 -rw-    56747008 Oct 29 2019 14:58:34   wt1024x.ipe

   6 -rw-    40133632 Oct 29 2019 14:59:00   wt2024u.ipe

   7 -rw-    40133632 Oct 29 2019 14:59:00   wt1024q.ipe

   8-rw-    40133632 Oct 29 2019 14:59:00   wt1024liq.ipe

3.      If the files do not exist, access Support > Resource Center > Software Download > Wireless at the H3C website to download the required package, decompress the package, and upload the required files to the \apimge directory.

To upgrade software, you must specify the upgrade files as the startup software images for the device to load at next startup. You can specify two lists of software images: one main and one backup. The device first loads the main startup software images. If the main startup software images are not available, the device loads the backup startup software images.

Upgrade methods

You can upgrade system software by using one of the following methods:

 

Upgrade method

Remarks

Upgrading from the CLI

·          You must reboot the device to complete the upgrade.

·          This method can interrupt ongoing network services.

Upgrading from the BootWare menu

Use this method when the device cannot correctly start up.

 

Preparing for the upgrade

Before you upgrade system software, complete the following tasks:

·            Set up the upgrade environment as shown in Figure 1.

·            Configure routes to ensure that the device and the file server can reach each other.

·            Run a TFTP or FTP server on the file server.

·            Log in to the CLI of the device through the console port.

·            Copy the upgrade file to the file server and correctly set the working directory on the TFTP or FTP server.

·            Make sure the upgrade has minimal impact on the network services. During the upgrade, the device cannot provide any services.

Changing the type of a system software image

System software image file attributes include main (M), and backup (B). You can store only one main image, and one backup image on the device. A system software image can have any combination of the M, and B attributes.

Appendix C Handling console login password loss

Disabling password recovery capability

Password recovery capability controls console user access to the device configuration and SDRAM from BootWare menus.

If password recovery capability is enabled, a console user can access the device configuration without authentication to configure new passwords.

If password recovery capability is disabled, console users must restore the factory-default configuration before they can configure new passwords. Restoring the factory-default configuration deletes the next-startup configuration files.
