User Guide: AWC plug-in version 3.15.0 for VST-APL

Overview



The TQ6702 GEN2-R and TQ7403-R wireless AP routers support the AlliedWare Plus firmware with Command Line Interface (CLI) similar to Allied Telesis switch and router products.
Configuration of wireless functions such as VAPs and security, as well as routing and firewall settings as a router, are done through the CLI or Web Graphical User Interface (Web GUI) of the wireless AP itself. The AWC plug-in only checks wireless and VAP settings and monitors the wireless AP and Associated clients via floor maps.

This quick tour will introduce the process of setting up a TQ6702 GEN2-R and registering it under the AWC plug-in management.

Components

Here is an example where another device on the Vista Manager EX management network already has an access to the Internet.
In this example, you will configure the basic settings for a terminal-based connection that is assigned a single fixed IP address on the management network.


You will configure WPA Personal wireless security mode.
In this configuration, three VAPs with the same SSID are created in each of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, assuming a wireless LAN for in-house use.
Each VAP communicates with the wired network side via a bridge interface. In this case, an 802.1Q Ethernet subinterface is created on eth1 interface in order to send and receive communications from the VAPs as packets with different VLAN tags.
Band steering is enabled between VAPs with the same SSID to encourage client association to less congested bands.
This configuration does not use the DHCP server function of the AT-TQR series itself. It is assumed that a DHCP server is separately configured for each VLAN on upstream devices.
In addition, in order to send client topology information to the Vista Manager EX by using STOAT (Standardized Topology Organizer and Transport), it is assumed that the AMF Plus master is properly configured as a STOAT collector. For more information, see the "Vista Manager EX Base Reference Manual".
Note
Device Discovery by STOAT cannot be used if an AMF Plus unsupported license is applied to the conventional AMF Master.
Note
When registering the AT-TQR series under the management of the AWC Plug-in, use only eth1 for connection to the AMF Plus network. If you try to connect to the AMF Plus network via eth2, you will not be able to register under the control of the AWC Plug-in.
Note
If you wish to use the AWC calculation results of the wireless router, match the settings in the AP Profile with the settings in the CLI or Web GUI of the router itself. If you do not use the AWC calculation results, save the AP Profile in its default settings.

Before configuring your device

Confirm and delete automatic configuration

This Quick Tour assumes that the wireless routers start in an unconfigured state (with factory settings only).

Therefore, we recommend that you run the "erase startup-config" command and restart the device before beginning the configuration.
awplus# erase startup-config

The wireless AP router, even without a startup configuration, may automatically configure itself when certain conditions are met. If this occurs, even if commands are entered according to the configuration example, the commands may result in an error or the intended operation as a whole may not be achieved.

To avoid this, we recommend that you do one of the following to start the setup
Please refer to the TQ6702 GEN2-R Command Reference.
