WLAN interface configuration
The terms AP and fat AP in this document refer to A-MSR900 and A-MSR20- 1 X routers with IEEE 802.1 1b/g
and A-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. Use WLAN-Radio interfaces on
routers as common physical access interfaces. You can bind them to WLAN-BSS interfaces and
WLAN-Ethernet interfaces.
WLAN-radio interface
WLAN-Radio interfaces are physical interfaces used to provide wireless access service. You can configure
them, but you cannot remove them manually.
Configuring a WLAN-radio interface
To configure a WLAN-radio interface:
To do...
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enter WLAN-radio interface
view.
3.
Set the description for the
interface.
4.
Restore the default settings of
the WLAN-radio interface.
5.
Shut down the WLAN-radio
interface.
WLAN-BSS interface
WLAN-BSS interfaces are virtual Layer 2 interfaces. They operate like Layer 2 Ethernet ports of the access
link type. 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.
Configuring a WLAN-BSS interface
To configure a WLAN-BSS interface:
Use the Command...
