Configuring the wireless AC functions

  1. Configure an AP by using at least one of the two methods, manual AP creation and automatic AP configuration.

    • Create a manual AP:

      # Create a manual AP named ap1, with AP model WA6520, AP MAC address 78A1-3EDF-6BE0, and serial number 219801A3L58246P0046S .

      [FW] wlan ap ap1 model WA6520

      [FW-wlan-ap-ap1] serial-id 219801A3L58246P0046S

      [FW-wlan-ap-ap1] quit

    • Configure auto APs:

      # Enable the auto AP feature. The name of an auto AP is the MAC address of the AP.

      [FW] wlan auto-ap enable

      # Convert online auto APs to manual APs. Choose the options to configure as needed:

      • Convert all APs to manual APs.

      [FW] wlan auto-ap persistent all

      • Enable automatic conversion from auto APs to manual APs. This command takes effect only on auto APs that come online after you execute this command. For auto APs that are already online, use the wlan auto-ap persistent command to convert them to manual APs.

      [FW] wlan auto-persistent enable

  2. Configure the global region code for APs.

    [FW] wlan global-configuration

    [FW-wlan-global-configuration] region-code AT

  3. Configure service template service1:

    # Configure SSID as WiFi_example and add wireless clients to VLAN 20 after they come online from the service template.

    [FW] wlan service-template service1

    [FW-wlan-st-service1] ssid WiFi_example

    [FW-wlan-st-service1] vlan 20

    # Configure the identity authentication and key management mode as PSK, use the plaintext string User@1234 as the shared key. Set the CCMP cipher suite for frame encryption and enable the CCMP IE in beacon and probe responses.

    [FW-wlan-st-service1] akm mode psk

    [FW-wlan-st-service1] preshared-key pass-phrase simple User@1234

    [FW-wlan-st-service1] cipher-suite ccmp

    [FW-wlan-st-service1] security-ie wpa

    # Enable the service template.

    [FW-wlan-st-service1] service-template enable

    [FW-wlan-st-service1] quit

  4. Bind the service template to the RF radios radio1 and radio2, and enable the radios.

    [FW] wlan ap ap1

    [FW-wlan-ap-ap1] radio 1

    [FW-wlan-ap-ap1-radio-1] service-template service1

    [FW-wlan-ap-ap1-radio-1] radio enable

    [FW-wlan-ap-ap1-radio-1] quit

    [FW-wlan-ap-ap1] radio 2

    [FW-wlan-ap-ap1-radio-2] service-template service1

    [FW-wlan-ap-ap1-radio-2] radio enable

    [FW-wlan-ap-ap1-radio-2] return

    <FW>
