ACCESS POINT PROVISIONING
In this network scenario, connectivity will be established between the Ruijie Access Points and their respective controller for their management. Likewise, the respective configuration of the Switch ports is established for the convergence between the Access Point and the Controller and thus provide Wi-Fi service.
1. Topology
The following topology shows the connection of the Controller to a Switch Core, the Switch Core to a Distribution Switch and from that Switch an Access Point is connected.
2. Configuration on the Ruijie controller
The controller is configured by wizard. The management VLAN is specified, which would be 521.
In the next step, the VLAN where the Access Points are to be connected is indicated, which would be the same as the Administration VLAN, 521. In the Interface Address, enter the IP address of the controller, which would be 10.1.40.2. Likewise, the DHCP service is configured for the segment of VLAN 521 where the network address would be 10.1.40.0 with its respective subnet mask, gateway and DNS. The important point is that the Access Points establish a tunnel between the controller and the Access Points so that the controller can administer the Access Points and have centralized management, for this in option 138 the same IP address of the Controller is placed.
In the next step, a Wi-Fi network (SSID) must be configured by obligation. You configure a network name, password, and the corresponding VLAN for that network.
