Configuring a WLAN BSS interface
WLAN BSS interfaces are virtual interfaces. They operate like Layer 2 Ethernet ports. A WLAN BSS
interface supports multiple Layer 2 protocols. On a wireless router, a WLAN radio interface bound to
a WLAN BSS interface operates as a Layer 2 interface.
To configure a WLAN BSS interface:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2. Enter WLAN BSS interface
view.
interface wlan-bss
interface-number
If the WLAN BSS interface does
not exist, this command creates
the WLAN BSS interface first.
When you bind a service with a
WLAN-BSS interface in IMC,
make sure the interface number of
the WLAN BSS interface is no
greater than 31. For more
information about IMC, see H3C
Intelligent Management Center
Getting Started Guide.
3. Set the description string for
the interface.
description
text
Optional.
By default, the description string
of an interface is interface-name +
Interface
.
4. Specify the link type.
port link-type
{
access | hybrid
}
Optional.
The default is
access
.
You can add the WLAN BSS
interface to specific VLANs
depending on the link type.
For more information, see Layer
2—LAN Switching Configuration
Guide.
5. Specify an authentication
domain for MAC
authentication users.
mac-authentication domain
domain-name
By default, the default
authentication domain is used for
MAC authentication users.
6. Set the maximum number of
concurrent MAC
authentication users on the
interface.
mac-authentication max-user
user-number
Optional.
The default value is 256.
7. Specify the expected
bandwidth for the interface.
bandwidth
bandwidth-value
Optional.
8. Restore the default settings
of the WLAN BSS interface.
default
Optional.
9. Shut down the WLAN BSS
interface.
shutdown
Optional.
By default, a WLAN BSS interface
is up.
For more information about the mac-authentication domain and mac-authentication max-user
commands, see Security Command Reference.
