Huawei Certificate System Huawei

Certification follows the "platform + ecosystem" development strategy, which
is a new collaborative architecture of ICT infrastructure based on "Cloud-Pipe-
Terminal". Huawei has set up a complete certification system consisting of
three categories: ICT infrastructure certification, Platform and Service certification
and ICT vertical certification, and grants Huawei certification the only all-range
technical certification in the industry.
Huawei offers three levels of certification: Huawei Certified ICT Associate (HCIA),
Huawei Certified ICT Professional (HCIP), and Huawei Certified ICT Expert (HCIE).
Huawei Certified Network Associate-Wireless Local Area Network (HCIA-WLAN) is
designed for Huawei local offices, online engineers in representative offices, and
readers who want to understand Huawei WLAN products and technology. HCIA-WLAN
covers WLAN basics, Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP)
protocol, WLAN networking, Huawei WLAN product features, security configuration,
WLAN advanced technology, antennas, WLAN network planning and optimization, and
WLAN fault troubleshooting.
The HCIA-WLAN certificate system introduces you to the industry and market, helps
you in innovation, and enables you to stand atop the WLAN frontiers.

Step 2 Configure IP addresses for the devices.

Configure IP addresses for the interfaces connecting the switch and AC according to the IP
address design.
# Set the IP address of VLANIF 1 on SW to [Link] and the subnet mask to 24.

[SW]display ip int brief

The number of interface that is DOWN in Physical is 1
The number of interface that is UP in Protocol is 2
The number of interface that is DOWN in Protocol is 1

Step 3 Save the configuration.

In the production environment, to prevent the configuration from becoming invalid after power-
off or fault recovery, save the device configuration.
# Run the save command in the user view of the AC and SW to save the device configurations.
If the message "saved successfully" is displayed, the configuration is saved successfully.

3 WLAN Layer 2 Off-Path Networking

3.1 Introduction
3.1.1 About This Lab
On a Layer 2 WLAN, network traffic is usually sent to the upper-layer network through a
switch, without passing through an AC. This networking mode applies to small- and
medium-scale centralized WLANs.

3.1.2 Objectives
ÿ Understand the Layer 2 networking mode.
ÿ Understand the advantages of off-path networking.
ÿ Learn how to configure WLAN services.

3.1.3 Networking Topology

3.1.4 Lab Planning

This lab aims to instruct how to configure Layer 2 off-path networking, with the AC as the AP gateway and SW1 as the
STA gateway. The two APs can both cover PC1, and STA traffic does not pass through the AC.

6 WLAN Troubleshooting Basics

6.1 Introduction
6.1.1 About This Lab
Wired LANs are expensive and lack mobility. The increasing demand for portability and
mobility requires WLAN technologies. As the most cost-efficient and convenient network
access mode nowadays, WLAN allows users to freely move within the covered area.
Common faults on a WLAN include AP join failures, STA access faults, and other faults
caused by incorrect configurations. This lab aims to introduce the basic WLAN
troubleshooting process and configuration based on typical AC + Fit AP networking.

6.1.2 Objectives
ÿ Understand the basic WLAN troubleshooting process.
ÿ Know common WLAN troubleshooting commands.

Step 2 Check whether STA access is normal.

Step 3 If the address pool for APs is configured on the AC, run the display ip pool name ip-pool-name
used command on the AC. If the command output displays an AP's MAC address and the
corresponding IP address, the AP has obtained an IP address.

Alternatively, run the display ap all command to verify that an AP has obtained an IP address.
