7.1 Configuring an Access Control List (ACL)

An AP can work in three access modes: blacklist, whitelist and non-authentication.
In blacklist mode, STAs on the blacklist are not allowed to go online.
In whitelist mode, all STAs can go online if the whitelist does not contain any MAC address.
However, if the whitelist is not empty, STAs only with their MAC address on the whitelist can
go online.
By default, an AP works in non-authentication mode.
NOTE
A blacklist or whitelist is used to control the access of STAs to a WLAN network.
A blacklist or whitelist contains a maximum of 512 MAC addresses. After the added MAC reaches the
maximum, no more MAC address can be added.

8.3 Version Upgrade

For details about how to upgrade an AP, see AP Upgrade Guide.
8.4 AP Replacement
The MAG9811 supports AP replacement that enables a new AP to carry services of an AP to
be replaced without reconfiguring the new AP. This helps implement quick recovery of
services when an AP on a live network becomes faulty.
Configurations of an AP are bound with the MAC address or SN of the AP. During a
replacement, the AP to be replaced can be identified by its ID, MAC address, or SN. The new
AP can be identified by either the MAC address or SN of the new AP, or both during the
replacement.
If the new AP is already in use on live networks, use the ap modify command to delete all
original information and configurations before using for a replacement.

WLAN AP V100R006C00
During a replacement, the external of an AP does not need to be replaced. If an AP uses

internal antennas, ensure that the horizontal and vertical scale values on the scale plate of the
AP mounting kit remain unchanged after the replacement.
The following figure is an example of scale values of an AP antenna.
If an AP implements backhaul on a WDS network, a WDS backhaul test is required to check
the backhaul signal quality.
Figure 8-1 Scale values of an AP antenna
8.4.2 Procedure
Following is a short description about how to replace an AP.
Step 1 Run the system-view command to enter the system view.
Step 2 Run the wlan ac command to enter the wlan-ac view.

8.6 Configuring a Static IP Address

By default, an AP uses a dynamic IP address to search for an AC and access a WLAN. If an
AP fails to access a WLAN using a dynamic IP address, configure a static IP address for the
AP by referring to the following steps:
8.6.1 In Scenarios Where a STA Connects to an AP over an

Ethernet Port
A STA can connect to an AP over an Ethernet port on the AP. The following describes the
procedure for configuring a static IP address in this scenario.
Step 1 Connect the computer to the transmission equipment or DATA port on the PSE.
Step 2 Change the IP address of the computer.
NOTE
Ensure that the IP address of the computer is in the same network segment as that of the AP. For
example, if the AP uses the default local maintenance IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask
255.255.255.0, you can change the IP address of the computer and subnet mask to 192.168.1.2 and
255.255.255.0, respectively.
Step 3 Log in to the AP in SSH mode.
NOTE
The default user name is admin and password is hwap@com.

.
WARNING
The default password has security vulnerabilities. Change the default password of an AP by
running the ap-modify-password command on the AC immediately after the AP is installed.
For details about how to change the AP default password, see MAG9811 Command Reference.
Step 4 Run the config command to enter the configuration mode.

Step 5 Run the ip ap ip-mode static command to enable static IP mode.
The IP address configured for an AP must be the IP address of the AP IP address pool configured on the
AC.
Step 6 (Optional) Run the ip ap address command to configure a static IP address for the AP.
Step 7 Run the ip ac address command to configure a static IP address for the AC.
Step 8 Run the exit command to exit the configuration mode.
Step 9 Run the reset board command to restart the AP to make the change take effect.
----End

WLAN AP V100R006C00
8.6.2 In Scenarios Where a STA Connects to an AP over a

Management VLAN
A STA can also connect to an AP over the management VAP of an AP. The management VAP
can be automatically created by the AP or delivered by the AC.
If an AP fails to connect the AC or the connection over the Ethernet port is interrupted for five
to six minutes, a management VAP is automatically created on the AP. The SSID of this
management VAP is HuaweiAPMgtXX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, where the
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX stands for the MAC address of the Ethernet port of the AP.
Users can also configure a management VAP on the AC and deliver it to the AP for AP
maintenance. The SSID of this management VAP is combination of the name configured by
users and the MAC address of the Ethernet port of the AP. For example, if the configured
name is usrtest and the MAC address of the Ethernet port of the AP is
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, the SSID is usrtestXX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX.
Management VAP Created by the AP

If the Ethernet port of the AP fails to work properly and users cannot log in to the AP in SSH
mode due to unavailable link connectivity between the PC and the AP caused by damage of
network cables or faults on the switch, users can log in to the AP over the management VAP
that is automatically created by the AP to maintain the AP.
The following describes how to configure a static IP address in scenarios where users log in to
the AP over the automatically created management VAP.
Step 1 Use a STA, for example a laptop, to search the SSID of the management VAP that is
automatically created by the AP.
Step 2 Enable the STA to connect to the AP using the searched SSID.
Step 3 Change the IP address of the STA.
NOTE
Ensure that the IP address of the STA is in the same network segment as that of the AP. For example, if
the management VAP uses the local maintenance IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0,
you can change the IP address of the computer and subnet mask to 192.168.1.2 and 255.255.255.0,
respectively.
Then, users can log in to the AP for maintenance purpose. For details about how to log in to
the AP, see Step 3 to Step 8 in section 8.6.1 "In Scenarios Where a STA Connects to an AP
over an Ethernet Port."
----End
Management VAP Delivered by the AC

Users can configure a management VAP for an online AP by changing the type of the ESSID
of the AP and use the management VAP to maintain the AP.
The following describes how to configure a management VAP for an online AP and use the
management VAP to maintain the AP.
Step 1 Configure basic WLAN parameters on the AC. For details, see section 5.3.3 "Configuring an
ESS of an AP."

WLAN AP V100R006C00
NOTE
In this example, assume that the configured ESSID name is mgmt_test, and the management VAP is
configured for AP 0.
The management VAP configured on the AC only supports open authentication and WEP authentication.
Step 2 Change the type of the ESSID to management VAP.

CAPWAP tunnel – A tunnel transmitting management packets and data packets
between the AC and the AP when the AP is registering with
the AC. The management packets exchanged between the AC
and the AP must be encapsulated in the CAPWAP tunnel for
transmission. This means that a CAPWAP management tunnel
needs to be set up, and such a tunnel requires no additional
hardware. Whether the data packets exchanged between the
AC and the AP need to be encapsulated in the CAPWAP
tunnel depends on actual configuration scenarios. If yes, a
CAPWAP data tunnel needs to be set up between the AC and
the AP. This tunnel requires additional hardware, which
implements tunnel encapsulation and decapsulation. If no, data
