A mesh network example on eNSP

Thanks,

I understand the above small/medium/large scale network and have access to the document.

My question was setting up a wireless mesh network - I have also setup a WDS network but unable to get the mesh working using the example in the manual.

AS far as I know, Wireless Mesh is not supported on eNSP. Just ESS and WDS.

Example for Configuring WLAN Services on a Small-Scale Network (IPv4 Network)

Networking Requirements

As shown in Figure 1, the AP is directly connected to the AC. An enterprise branch needs to deploy WLAN services for mobile office so that branch users can access the enterprise internal network from anywhere at any time.

The following requirements must be met:

A WLAN named test is available.
Branch users are assigned IP addresses on 192.168.11.0/24.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Configure the AP, AC, and upstream device to implement Layer 2 interconnection.
Configure the AC as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to STAs and the AP from an IP address pool of an interface.
Configure AC system parameters, including the country code, AC ID, carrier ID, and source interface used by the AC to communicate with the AP.
Set the AP authentication mode and add the AP to an AP region.
Configure a VAP and deliver VAP parameters to the AP so that STAs can access the WLAN.
1. Configure a WMM profile and radio profile on the AP, retain the default settings of the WMM profile and radio profile, bind the WMM profile to the radio profile to enable STAs to communicate with the AP.
2. Configure a WLAN-ESS interface so that radio packets can be sent to the WLAN service module after reaching the AC.
3. Configure a security profile and traffic profile on the AP, retain the default settings of the security profile and traffic profile, configure a service set, bind the WLAN-ESS interface, security profile, and traffic profile to apply security policies and QoS policies to STAs.
4. Configure a VAP and deliver VAP parameters to the AP so that STAs can access the Internet through the WLAN.

Procedure

Configure the AC so that the AP and AC can transmit CAPWAP packets.

# Configure the AC: add interface GE0/0/1 to management VLAN 100.

NOTE:

In this example, tunnel forwarding is used. If direct forwarding is used, configure port isolation on GE0/0/1 that connects the AC to the AP. If port isolation is not configured, many broadcast packets will be transmitted in the VLANs or WLAN users on different APs can directly communicate at Layer 2.

In tunnel forwarding mode, management VLAN and service VLAN must be different.
```
<AC6605> system-view [AC6605] sysname AC [AC] vlan batch 100 101 [AC] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1 [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type trunk [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk pvid vlan 100 [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 100 [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit 
```
Configure the AC to communicate with the upstream device.

NOTE:

Configure AC uplink interfaces to transparently transmit packets of service VLANs as required and communicate with the upstream device.

# Add AC uplink interface GE0/0/2 to service VLAN 101.
```
[AC] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2 [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port link-type trunk [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] port trunk allow-pass vlan 101 [AC-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit 
```

Configure the AC as a DHCP server to allocate IP addresses to STAs and the AP.

# Configure the AC as the DHCP server to allocate an IP address to the AP from the IP address pool on VLANIF 100, and allocate IP addresses to STAs from the IP address pool on VLANIF 101.

Configure AC system parameters.

# Configure the country code.

# Configure the AC ID and carrier ID.

[AC] wlan ac-global ac id 1 carrier id other

# Configure the source interface.

[AC] wlan [AC-wlan-view] wlan ac source interface vlanif 100

Manage the AP on the AC.

# Check the AP type ID after obtaining the MAC address of the AP.
