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.

commands, see Security Command Reference.
