and security mechanism, fast roaming, powerful QoS, and IPv4/IPv6 features to provide powerful WLAN access control functions. The WX6000 series include WX6103 access controllers, and LSQM1WCMB0, LSBM1WCM2A0, and LSRM1WCM2A1 access controller modules. The WX6000 series are designed to provide WLAN access for enterprise networks and MANs, and are most suitable for applications such as WLAN access in a medium- and large-sized enterprise or campus network, wireless MAN coverage, hot spot coverage.
Applicable models and software versions H3C WX series access controllers include the WX3000 series unified switches, WX5000 and WX6000 series access controllers. Table 1 shows the applicable models and software versions. Table 1 Applicable models and software versions Series Model...
Installation preparations Preparations for installing WX series access controllers include precautions, preparation of installation tools, environment examination, and antistatic preparation. The installation preparations vary with AC models. For more information, see the installation guide or card manual for your AC.
Otherwise, you will bear any consequence resulting from your actions. You can install a WX series access controller on a desk or onto a 19-inch rack. Support for the installation method depends on your AC model. For more information, see the installation guide or card manual for your AC.
AC. Logging in to an AC For more information about how to log in to an AC, see Logging In to the AC in the H3C WX Series Access Controllers Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Configuring basic functions Default configuration The WX series access controller has the default configuration as follows (see Table 2 NOTE: The default output depends on your AC model. version 5.20, Release 2106P01 sysname H3C undo info-center logfile enable domain default enable system...

Required: Create a WLAN-ESS interface. If the WLAN-ESS interface identified by the interface-number argument does not exist, this command creates the WLAN-ESS interface first. [Sysname]interface wlan-ess interface-index Required: Exit interface view. [Sysname]quit Required: Create a WLAN service template. By default, no service template is created.
Required: Specify a radio type for the radio and enter radio view. Support for this command depends on the AP model. [Sysname] radio radio-number [ type { dot11a | dot11an |dot11b | dot11g | dot11gn } ] Required: Enable the radio. By default, all radios are disabled. [Sysname]radio enable Required: Exit interface view.
[Sysname] configuration encrypt { private-key | public-key } NOTE: For the device that supports this feature, you can use the display saved-configuration command instead of the more command to view the encrypted configuration file, because the latter cannot decrypt the file. Otherwise, you are prompted for operation failure or garbled characters. Modes in saving the configuration You can save the configuration in one of the following two modes: Fast saving mode: Fast saving mode is implemented by using the save command...
Software maintenance If an installation guide is supplied with the AC, see Software Maintenance in the installation guide or the separate maintenance guide. If a card manual is supplied with the AC, see H3C Access Controller Modules Software Upgrade Guide.
Troubleshooting This chapter describes how to troubleshoot H3C WX series access controllers problems. If you cannot solve a system problem, contact the H3C technical support staff. Technical support: customer_service@h3c.com The AC cannot connect to the network Symptom After you connect a network cable to the AC, the AC cannot connect to the network.
The AC starts up completely and you can see the user prompt. The RJ-45 network port of the Combo port is down or not connected. The optical transceiver is supported by your AC. The optical transceivers used on the local and peer ends match in modes (single mode or multi-mode) and wavelength.
If the MOD LED of the slot installed with the 10-GE interface card on the front panel blinks yellow, the interface card is faulty. Replace it with another one. The 10-GE interface card is supported by the WX3024. For optical transceivers supported by the WX3024, see Appendix A Specifications of Optional Interface Modules in the installation manual supplied with the WX3024.

No information of the serial port is output Symptom No information of the serial port is output.
When a WX3000 series unified switch supplies power to APs through PoE, the APs may work abnormally Symptom The WX3000 series unified switches support power over Ethernet (PoE). When a unified switch supplies power to attached APs through PoE, some of the APs automatically restart (disconnect from the AC).
The WX3008 supports 4-port PoE+ with the maximum output power of 25 W per port, provides a maximum of 125 W internal power supply, supports PoE+ for 4 ports simultaneously, supports PoE (802.3af) on four ports, and supports PoE for four ports simultaneously. The WX6103 access controller switch interface board cannot be started Symptom...
Solution Check that: The main control board can be powered on, and RUN LED of the corresponding slots blinks, indicating the main control board is working normally. For description of the LED statuses, see the LED description in the installation guide supplied with the The memory chip is installed properly to the main control board, and the memory chip or socket is polluted.
