Example: Configuring medical RFID tag management

Introduction

The following information provides an example for configuring WA4320i-X-R APs to realize medical RFID tag management.

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, configure the AP to collect medical RFID tag information and send the information to the location server for calculation. Then, users can obtain tag information in various forms such as maps, tables, or reports.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Restrictions and guidelines

When you configure medical RFID tag management, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     Use the actual serial ID of an AP to uniquely identify that AP.

·     The port number of the location server configured on the AC must be the same as the port number specified on the location server.

Procedures

Configuring the AC

1.     Configure interfaces on the AC:

# Create VLAN 100 and VLAN-interface 100, and assign an IP address to the VLAN interface. The AC will use this IP address to establish a CAPWAP tunnel with the AP.

<AC> system-view

[AC] vlan 100

[AC-vlan100] quit

[AC] interface vlan-interface 100

[AC-Vlan-interface100] ip address 192.1.0.1 16

[AC-Vlan-interface100] quit

# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 that connects the AC and the switch as a trunk port, and assign it to VLAN 100.

[AC] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type trunk

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port trunk permit vlan 100

[AC-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

2.     Configure the AP:

 

NOTE: In a large-scale network, configure AP settings in AP group view instead of AP view as a best practice.

 

# Create a manual AP named ap1, and specify the AP model and serial ID.

[AC] wlan ap ap1 model WA6320

[AC-wlan-ap-ap1] serial-id 219801A28N819CE0002T

# Create AP group group1, and configure a grouping rule by AP name to add AP ap1 to the group.

[AC] wlan ap-group group1

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1] ap ap1

3.     Configure a module:

# Enter the view of module 1.

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1] ap-model WA6320

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1-ap-model-WA6320] module 1

# Specify the supported module type as RFID for module 1, and enable module 1.

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1-ap-model-WA6320-module-1] type rfid

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1-ap-model-WA6320-module-1] module enable

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1-ap-model-WA6320-module-1]quit

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1-ap-model-WA6320]quit

4.     Configure IoT location:

# Enable IoT location.

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1] rfid-tracking iot enable

# Specify the IP address and port number of the IoT server.

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1] iot engine-address 192.1.0.2 engine-port 3000

[AC-wlan-ap-group-group1] quit

Configuring the switch

1.     Configure interfaces on the switch:

# Create VLAN 100 and VLAN-interface 100, and assign an IP address to the VLAN interface. The switch will use this VLAN to communicate with the AC.

<Switch> system-view

[Switch] vlan 100

[Switch-vlan100] quit

[Switch] interface vlan-interface 100

[Switch-Vlan-interface100] ip address 192.1.0.3 16

[Switch-Vlan-interface100] quit

# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 that connects the switch and the AC as a trunk port, and assign the trunk port to VLAN 100.

[Switch] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port link-type trunk

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] port trunk permit vlan 100

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit

# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 that connects the switch and the server as an access port, and assign the port to VLAN 100.

[Switch] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/2

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port link-type access

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] port access vlan 100

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/2] quit

# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 that connects the switch and AP as an access port, and assign the port to VLAN 100.

[Switch] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/3

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] port link-type access

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] port access vlan 100

# Enable PoE on GigabitEthernet 1/0/3.

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] poe enable

[Switch-GigabitEthernet1/0/3] quit

2.     Configure DHCP services:

# Enable DHCP.

[Switch] dhcp enable

# Create a DHCP address pool named 1 to assign an IP address to the AP.

[Switch] dhcp server ip-pool 1

# In DHCP address pool 1, specify subnet 192.1.0.0/16 for dynamic allocation, exclude IP addresses 192.1.0.1 and 192.1.0.2 from dynamic allocation, and specify the gateway IP address 192.1.0.3.

[Switch] dhcp server ip-pool 1

[Switch-dhcp-pool-1] network 192.1.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0

[Switch-dhcp-pool-1] forbidden-ip 192.1.0.1 192.1.0.2

[Switch-dhcp-pool-1] gateway-list 192.1.0.3

[Switch-dhcp-pool-1] quit
