Configuring WLAN interfaces
NOTE:
The terms AP and fat AP in this document refer to MSR800, MSR 900, MSR900-E, MSR 930, and
MSR 20-1X routers with IEEE 802.11b/g and MSR series routers installed with a SIC WLAN module.
• Wireless routers support WLAN radio interfaces, which are physical interfaces that provide
wireless network access.
• Wireless routers support WLAN BSS and WLAN Ethernet virtual interfaces. WLAN radio
interfaces on routers can be used as common physical access interfaces. They can be bound to
WLAN BSS interfaces and WLAN Ethernet interfaces.
Hardware compatibility with WLAN
WLAN is not available on the following routers:
• MSR 2600.
• MSR 30-11.
• MSR 30-11E.
• MSR 30-11F.
• MSR3600-51F.
Configuring a WLAN radio interface
WLAN radio interfaces are physical interfaces and are used for providing wireless access service.
They can be configured but cannot be removed manually.
To configure a WLAN radio interface:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2. Enter WLAN radio interface
view.
interface wlan-radio
interface-number
N/A
3. Set the description for the
interface.
description
text
Optional.
By default, the description of an
interface is its interface name
followed by the
Interface
string.
4. Specify the expected
bandwidth for the interface.
bandwidth
bandwidth-value
Optional.
5. Restore the default settings
of the WLAN radio interface.
default
Optional.
6. Shut down the WLAN radio
interface.
shutdown
Optional.
By default, a WLAN radio
interface is up.
