1 New Features The following features are now available with the introduction of the Mobility 7131N Access Point hardware and WiNG 4.
1 Hotspot Customization To date, the default hotspot supported on the access point does not allow users to change the text on the hotspot portal or the logo for the enterprise where the hotspot is deployed. With this most recent release of the access point firmware, users now have the ability to customize the appearance of an access point’s WLAN hotspot pages.
1 The WWAN card is detected automatically when inserted into the Mobility 7131N Access Point express card slot. The card is detected as a USB/Serial device once its modules are loaded. If the card is inserted before or during module installation, the user has to wait until all the modules are loaded before the card is operational. These modules are loaded when the Mobility 7131N Access Point boots up (at runtime). Activate and configure the WWAN card from the access point’s applet and CLI.
1 Dynamic Chain Selection When enabled, dynamic chain selection forces an access point radio to transmit packets using legacy transmit rates (11b, 11g and/or 11a rates) using a single transmit chain. Transmissions utilizing 11n rates (MCS0 - MCS15) continue to use a normal number of transmit chains, which may be 1, 2, or 3 depending on the configuration and power source. If dynamic chain selection is disabled, all transmissions utilize the same number of transmit chains. This feature is disabled by default.
1 For information on disabling the access points LEDs, refer to Configuring System Settings on page 4-67.

For information on deploying your 802.11n radio, see Configuring the 802.11a/n or 802.
1 A radio in sensor mode supports the following basic features: NOTE The functions described below are conducted on the WIPS server side, not on the access point. • Wireless Termination - The access point attempts to force an unwanted (or unauthorized) connection to disconnect. • Wireless Sniffing - All received frames are reported to the WIPS server. This feature provides the WIPS server with visibility into the activity on the wireless network.
1 NOTE Mobility 7131N Access Point models with three radios never dedicate the third radio to traditional WLAN support. The third radio is either disabled or set exclusively to WIPS support (referred to in the access point interface as sensor mode). CAUTION Users cannot define a radio as a WIPS sensor when one of the access point radios is functioning as a rogue AP detector.
1 For detailed information on configuring the Mobility 7131 Access Point LAN port, see Configuring the LAN Interface on page 5-115. A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a widely dispersed telecommunications network. In a corporate environment, the WAN port might connect to a larger corporate network. For a small business, the WAN port might connect to a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet.
1 Support for 4 BSSIDs per Radio The access point supports four BSSIDs per radio. Each BSSID has a corresponding MAC address. The first MAC address corresponds to BSSID #1. The MAC addresses for the other three BSSIDs (BSSIDs #2, #3, #4) are derived by adding 1, 2, 3, respectively, to the radio MAC address.
1 • KeyGuard Encryption • Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Using TKIP Encryption • WPA2-CCMP (802.11i) Encryption In addition, the Mobility 7131 Access Point access point supports the following additional security features: • Firewall Security • VPN Tunnels • Content Filtering For an overview on the encryption and authentication schemes available Mobility 7131 Access Point, refer to Configuring Access Point Security on page 6-189.
1 EAP is only supported on mobile devices running Windows XP, Windows 2000 (using Service Pack #4) and Windows Mobile 2003. Refer to the system administrator for information on configuring a Radius Server for EAP (802.1x) support. For detailed information on EAP configurations, see Configuring 802.1x EAP Authentication on page 6-196. WEP Encryption All WLAN devices face possible information theft. Theft occurs when an unauthorized user eavesdrops to obtain information illegally.
1 • • • • a per-packet key mixing function a message integrity check an extended initialization vector with sequencing rules a re-keying mechanism WPA uses an encryption method called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). WPA employs 802.1X and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). For detailed information on WPA using TKIP configurations, see Configuring WPA/WPA2 Using TKIP on page 6-203. WPA2-CCMP (802.11i) Encryption WPA2 is a newer 802.
1 Content Filtering Content filtering allows system administrators to block specific commands and URL extensions from going out through the Mobility 7131 Access Point WAN port. Therefore, content filtering affords system administrators selective control on the content proliferating the network and is a powerful screening tool. Content filtering allows the blocking of up to 10 files or URL extensions and allows blocking of specific outbound HTTP, SMTP, and FTP requests.
1 Programmable SNMP v1/v2/v3 Trap Support Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. SNMP uses Management Information Bases (MIBs) to manage the device configuration and monitor Internet devices in remote locations. MIB information accessed via SNMP is defined by a set of managed objects called Object Identifiers (OIDs). An OID is used to uniquely identify each object variable of a MIB.
1 Voice Prioritization Each Mobility 7131 Access Pointaccess point WLAN has the capability of having its QoS policy configured to prioritize the network traffic requirements for associated MUs. A WLAN QoS page is available for each enabled WLAN on either the Mobility 7131 Access Point802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio. Use the QoS page to enable voice prioritization for devices to receive the transmission priority they may not normally receive over other data traffic.
1 Transmit Power Control The access point Mobility 7131 Access Point has a configurable power level for each radio. This enables the network administrator to define the antenna’s transmission power level in respect to the access point’s placement or network requirements as defined in the Mobility 7131 Access Point site survey. For detailed information on setting the radio transmit power level, see Configuring the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n Radio on page 5-167.
1 The access point Mobility 7131 Access Point can be set to only accept replies from DHCP or BOOTP servers or both (this is the default setting). Disabling DHCP disables BOOTP and DHCP and requires network settings to be set manually. If running both DHCP and BOOTP, do not select BOOTP Only. BOOTP should only be used when the server is running BOOTP exclusively.
1 The access point has a second LAN subnet enabling administrators to segment the access point’s LAN connection into two separate networks. The main access point LAN screen now allows the user to select either LAN1 or LAN2 as the active LAN over the access point’s Ethernet port. Both LANs can still be active at any given time, but only one can transmit over the access point’s physical LAN connection.
1 Routing Information Protocol (RIP) RIP is an interior gateway protocol that specifies how routers exchange routing-table information. The parent Router screen also allows the administrator to select the type of RIP and the type of RIP authentication used. For detailed information on configuring RIP functionality as part of the access point’s Router functionality, see Setting the RIP Configuration on page 5-179.
1 Rogue AP Enhancements The access point can scan for rogues over all channels on both of the access point’s radio bands. The switching of radio bands is based on a timer with no user intervention required. For information on configuring the access point for Rogue AP support, see Configuring Rogue AP Detection on page 6-234. Radius Time-Based Authentication An external server maintains a users and groups database used by the access point for access permissions.
1 IP Filtering IP filtering determines which IP packets are processed normally and which are discarded. If discarded, the packet is deleted and completely ignored (as if never received). Optionally apply different criteria to better refine which packets to filter. IP filtering supports the creation of up to 20 filter rules enforced at layer 3. Once defined (using the access point’s SNMP, GUI or CLI), filtering rules can be enforced on the access point’s LAN1, LAN2 and WLAN interfaces.
1 Power Setting Configuration The access point’s power management functionality automatically configures the AP's operational mode so it safely operates within available power. The power setting feature enables the user to select one of three power operating modes, 3af, 3at and full power. When an access point is operating in either 3af or 3at mode, the transmit power is always lower than the full power setting.
1 Theory of Operations To understand Mobility 7131 Access Pointaccess point management and performance alternatives, users need familiarity with Mobility 7131 Access Point Mobility 7131 Access Point functionality and configuration options. The Mobility 7131 Access Pointaccess point includes features for different interface connections and network management. The Mobility 7131 Access Point access point uses electromagnetic waves to transmit and receive electric signals without wires.
1 Mobility 7131 Access Point access points with the same ESSID define a coverage area. A valid ESSID is an alphanumeric, case-sensitive identifier up to 32 characters. An MU searches for an access point Mobility 7131 Access Point with a matching ESSID and synchronizes (associates) to establish communications. This device association allows MUs within the coverage area to move about or roam. As the MU roams from cell to cell, it associates with a different access point Mobility 7131 Access Point.
1 Media Types The access point Mobility 7131 Access Point radio interface conforms to IEEE 802.11 specifications. The Mobility 7131 Access Point access point supports multiple-cell operations with fast roaming between cells. Within a direct-sequence system, each cell can operates independently. Adding cells to the network provides an increased coverage area and total system capacity. The serial port provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) connection. The serial link supports a direct serial connection.
1 MUs perform pre-emptive roaming by intermittently scanning for Mobility 7131 Access Point’s and associating with the best available access pointMobility 7131 Access Point. Before roaming and associating, MUs perform full or partial scans to collect Mobility 7131 Access Point statistics and determine the direct-sequence channel used by the Mobility 7131 Access Point access point. Scanning is a periodic process where the MU sends out probe messages on all channels defined by the country code.
1 • Wireless Gateway/Router - If operating as a Wireless Gateway/Router, the access point functions as a router between two layer 2 networks: the WAN uplink (the ethernet port) and the Wireless side. The following options are available providing a solution for single-cell deployment: • PPPoE - The WAN interface can terminate a PPPoE connection, thus enabling the access point Mobility 7131 Access Point to operate in conjunction with a DSL or Cable modem to provide WAN connectivity.
1 The access point’s BSS (virtual AP) MAC addresses are calculated as follows: • • • • 30 BSS1 - The same as the corresponding base radio’s MAC address.

2 Access Point Placement For optimal performance, install the access point away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors block transmission. Install the access point in an open area or add access points as needed to improve coverage. Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be not bright enough.
2 Antenna connectors for single radio model access points are located on the same side of the access point as the LAN and WAN port connections (GE1/POE and GE2). On single radio versions, the R-SMA connectors can support both bands and should be connected to a R-SMA dual-band antenna or an appropriate single band antenna. If necessary a R-SMA to R-BNC adapter (Part No. 25-72178-01) can be purchased separately from Brocade Mobility.

2 When users purchase a WLAN solution, they often need to place access points in obscure locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each access point in addition to the Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install power drops at each access point location. The Power Injector merges power and Ethernet into one cable, reducing the burden of installation and allowing optimal access point placement in respect to the intended coverage area.
2 ‘ A separate Power Injector is required for each access point comprising the network. Installing the Power Injector Refer to the following sections for information on planning, installing, and validating the installation: • Preparing for Site Installation • Cabling the Power Injector Preparing for Site Installation The Power Injector can be installed free standing, on an even horizontal surface or wall mounted using the unit’s wall mounting key holes.

Disable this option to effectively isolate the Mobility 7131 Access Point’s WAN connection. No connections to a larger network or the Internet will be possible. MUs cannot communicate beyond the configured subnets. b.
3 d. Specify a Subnet Mask for the Mobility 7131 Access Point’s WAN connection. This number is available from the ISP for a DSL or cable-modem connection, or from an administrator if the Mobility 7131 Access Point connects to a larger network. A subnet mask uses a series of four numbers expressed in dot notation. For example, 255.255.255.0 is a valid subnet mask. e. Define a Default Gateway address for the Mobility 7131 Access Point’s WAN connection.
3 d. The Subnet Mask defines the size of the subnet. The first two sets of numbers specify the network domain, the next set specifies the subset of hosts within a larger network. These values help divide a network into subnetworks and simplify routing and data transmission. e. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter a Default Gateway to define the numerical IP address of a router the Mobility 7131 Access Point uses on the Ethernet as its default gateway. f.
3 NOTE Even an access point configured with minimal values must protect its data against theft and corruption. A security policy should be configured for WLAN1 as part of the basic configuration outlined in this guide. A security policy can be configured for the WLAN from within the Quick Setup screen. Policies can be defined over time and saved to be used as needed as security requirements change.
3 4. Configure the WEP 128 Settings field as required to define the Pass Key used to generate the WEP keys. Pass Key Specify a 4 to 32 character pass key and click the Generate button. The access point, other proprietary routers and MUs use the same algorithm to convert a string to the same hexadecimal number. Non-Brocade Mobility clients and devices need to enter WEP keys manually as hexadecimal numbers. The access point and its target client(s) must use the same pass key to interoperate.
3 Testing Connectivity Verify the access point’s link with an MU by sending Wireless Network Management Protocol (WNMP) ping packets to the associated MU. Use the Echo Test screen to specify a target MU and configure the parameters of the test. The WNMP ping test only works with Brocade Mobility MUs. Only use a Brocade Mobility MU to test access point connectivity using WNMP. NOTE Before testing for connectivity, the target MU needs to be set to the same ESSID as the access point.

4 CAUTION The access point’s country of operation is set from within the System Settings screen. If the country code is changed, the access point’s power level, primary channel and secondary channel return to their default values. If changing the country code, be aware these values will require modification to their previous settings. 1. Select System Configuration -> System Settings from the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu tree. 2.
4 Country The Mobility 7131 Access Point prompts the user for the correct country code after the first login. A warning message also displays stating that an incorrect country setting will lead to an illegal use of the access point. Use the pull-down menu to select the country of operation. Selecting the correct country is extremely important. Each country has its own regulatory restrictions concerning electromagnetic emissions (channel range) and the maximum RF signal strength transmitted.
4 Restore Default Configuration Select the Restore Default Configuration button to reset the AP’s configuration to factory default settings. If selected, a message displays warning the user the current configuration will be lost if the default configuration is restored. Before using this feature, Brocade Mobility recommends using the Config Import/Export screen to export the current configuration for safekeeping, see Importing/Exporting Configurations on page 4-104.
4 The access point uses a complex programmable logic device (CPLD). The CPLD determines proper supply sequencing, the maximum power available and other status information. One of the primary functions of the CPLD is to determine the access point’s maximum power budget. When the AP is powered on (or performing a cold reset), the CPLD determines the maximum power provided by the POE device and the budget available to the access point.
4 NOTE Radio transmit power is not used as one of the factors to determine the available power budget. If an external power supply is used, it is assumed it will provide full power. When operating using full power, each radio has 3x3 antenna mode support and its intended transmit power budget. Radios at Full Power The table below describes the maximum transmit power available to each radio (at varying data rates) when the access point is receiving full DC power and is not compromised in its power budget.
4 Rates (Mbps) MCS Indices EVM Bandwidth Maximum Transmit Power 2.4 GHz Maximum Transmit Power 5 GH 1 -9 20MHz 20 NA 2 -9 20MHz 20 NA 5.

5 Use the Ethernet Port Timeout drop-down menu to define how the access point interprets inactivity for the LAN assigned to the Ethernet port. When Enabled is selected, the access point uses the value defined in the Sec. box (default is 30 seconds). Selecting Disabled allows the LAN to use the Ethernet port for an indefinite timeout period. Select the Hardware Detect option to use the physical LAN port to detect activity.
5 Configuring VLAN Support A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a means to electronically separate data on the same Mobility 7131 Access Point from a single broadcast domain into separate broadcast domains. The Mobility 7131 Access Point can group devices on one or more WLANs so that they can communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a different LAN segment. Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical connections, they are extremely flexible.
5 The VLAN name screen displays. The first time the screen is launched a default VLAN name of 1 and a default VLAN ID of 1 display. The VLAN name is auto-generated once the user assigns a VLAN ID. However, the user has the option of re-assigning a name to the VLAN using New VLAN and Edit VLAN screens. To create a new VLAN, click the Add button, to edit the properties of an existing VLAN, click the Edit button. 4. Assign a unique VLAN ID (from 1 to 4095) to each VLAN added or modified.
5 A business may have offices in different locations and want to extend an internal LAN between the locations. An Mobility 7131 Access Point managed infrastructure could provide this connectivity, but it requires VLAN numbering be managed carefully to avoid conflicts between two VLANs with the same ID. 5. Define a 32 character maximum VLAN Name. Enter a unique name that identifies members of the VLAN.
5 A tagged VLAN uses an extra tag in the MAC header to identify a frame’s VLAN membership. This tag helps define the VLAN and QoS priority. A tagged frame is four bytes longer than an untagged frame and contains two bytes of Tag Protocol Identifier (TPID) information within the type and length field of an Ethernet frame and two bytes of Tag Control Information (TCI) after the Ethernet frame’s source address field.
5 2. Configure the DHCP Configuration field to define the DHCP settings used for the LAN. NOTE When setting the LAN interface to be a DHCP Server and adding an IP address, the primary DNS IP address might not be updated, with only the secondary address getting updated. Ensure the primary address is the same as the IP address of the LAN. NOTE Brocade Mobility recommends the WAN and LAN ports should not both be configured as DHCP clients.
5 This interface is a DHCP Server The Mobility 7131 Access Point can be configured to function as a DHCP server over the LAN1 or LAN2 connection. Select the This interface is a DHCP Server button and manually enter static network address information in the areas provided. Address Assignment Range Use the address assignment parameter to specify a range of numerical (non DNS name) IP addresses reserved for mapping client MAC addresses to IP addresses.
5 NOTE For an overview of IP Filtering and how to create a filter, see Configuring IP Filtering on page 5-181. For information on applying an existing filter to the IP packet flow of a WLAN, see Applying a Filter to LAN1, LAN2 or a WLAN (1-16) on page 5-183. 4. Click Apply to save any changes to the LAN1 or LAN2 screen. Navigating away from the screen without clicking the Apply button results in all changes to the screen being lost if the prompts are ignored. 5.
5 3. Specify a lease period in seconds for available IP addresses using the DHCP Lease Time (Seconds) parameter. An IP address is reserved for re-connection for the length of time you specify. The default interval is 86400 seconds. 4. Click the Add button to create a new table entry within the Reserved Clients field. If a statically mapped IP address is within the IP address range in use by the DHCP server, that IP address may still be assigned to another client.
5 Use the Ethernet Type Filter Configuration screen to build a list of filter types and configure them as either allowed or denied for use with the this particular LAN. To configure type filtering on the Mobility 7131 Access Point: 1. Select Network Configuration-> LAN -> LAN1 (or LAN2)-> Type Filter from the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu tree.

5 Default Gateway Specify the gateway address for the Mobility 7131 Access Point’s WAN connection. The ISP or a network administrator provides this address. Primary DNS Server Specify the address of a primary Domain Name System (DNS) server. The ISP or a network administrator provides this address. A DNS server translates a domain name (for example, www.brocade.com) into an IP address that networks can use. Secondary DNS Server Specify the address of a secondary DNS server if one is used.
5 NOTE Be aware that the access point can (incorrectly) carry over previously configured static IP information and maintain two connected routes once it gets an IP address from a PPPOE connection. Enable Use the checkbox to enable Point-to-Point over Ethernet (PPPoE) for a high-speed connection that supports this protocol. Most DSL providers are currently using or deploying this protocol. PPPoE is a data-link protocol for dialup connections.
5 The following express cards can be used with a Mobility 7131N Access Point to support the WAN failover feature: NOTE Failover from LAN to 3G is also supported.
5 WWAN CRM Remote Gateway 2 Optionally define a numerical IP address for a second WWAN remote gateway. If the access point detects the loss of the wired WAN connection, it establishes the WWAN connection and uses a remote gateway to route traffic. Traffic that used go to the wired WAN is redirected to the WWAN over this second choice remote gateway, if the first gateway is unavailable. WWAN CRM Remote Gateway 3 Optionally define a numerical IP address for a third WWAN remote gateway.
5 1. Select Network Configuration -> WAN -> NAT from the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu tree. 2.

Enter the DynDNS Username for the account you wish to use for the access point. 4. Enter the DynDNS Password for the account you wish to use for the access point. 5.
5 Enabling Wireless LANs (WLANs) A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a data-communications system that flexibly extends the functionalities of a wired LAN. A WLAN does not require lining up devices for line-of-sight transmission, and are thus, desirable. Within the WLAN, roaming users can be handed off from one Mobility 7131 Access Point to another like a cellular phone system. WLANs can therefore be configured around the needs of specific groups of users, even when they are not in physical proximity.
5 WLAN Name The Name field displays the name of each WLAN that has been defined. The WLAN names can be modified within individual WLAN configuration screens. See Creating/Editing Individual WLANs on page 5-139 to change the name of a WLAN. ESSID Displays the Extended Services Set Identification (ESSID) associated with each WLAN. The ESSID can be modified within individual WLAN configuration screens. See Creating/Editing Individual WLANs on page 5-139 to change the ESSID of a specific WLAN.
5 d. 7. Select Strict for the access point to respond to ARP request for its MU IP addresses using an ARP response and drop the original ARP request packet (like the dynamic option). However, with the strict option, the access point will drop the ARP request to wireless (WLAN interfaces not the mesh interface) if the ARP request is for the IP address of non-MUs or if gratuitous ARP requests are coming from the MU.
5 3. Set the parameters in the Configuration field as required for the WLAN. CAUTION When using the access point’s hotspot functionality, ensure MUs are re-authenticated when changes are made to the characteristics of a hotspot enabled WLAN, as MUs within the WLAN will be dropped from device association.
5 ESSID Enter the Extended Services Set Identification (ESSID) associated with the WLAN. The WLAN name is auto-generated using the ESSID until changed by the user. The maximum number of characters that can be used for the ESSID is 32. Do not use any of the following characters for an ESSID < > | " & \ ? , Name Define or revise the name for the WLAN. The name should be logical representation of WLAN coverage area (engineering, marketing etc.).
5 NOTE A WLAN configured to support Mesh should not have a Kerberos or 802.1x EAP security policy defined for it, as these two authentication schemes are not supported within a Mesh network. Security Policy Use the scroll down Security Policies menu to select the security scheme best suited for the new or revised WLAN. Click the Create button to jump to the New Security Policy screen where a new policy can be created to suit the needs of the WLAN.
5 6. Refer to the IP Filtering field to optionally enable the IP filtering feature, and (if enabled) apply existing IP filters (and their rules and permissions) to the WLAN. Enable IP Filtering Selecting this checkbox allows the WLAN to employ filter policies and rules to determine which IP packets are processed normally over the WLAN and which are discarded. If discarded, a packet is deleted and ignored (as if never received).
5 NOTE When the Mobility 7131 Access Point is first launched, a single security policy (default) is available and mapped to WLAN 1. It is anticipated numerous additional security policies will be created as the list of WLANs grows. Configuring a WLAN security scheme with a discussion of all the authentication and encryption options available is beyond the scope of this chaptersection.
5 Brocade Mobility recommends using the New MU ACL Policy or Edit MU ACL Policy screens strategically to name and configure ACL policies meeting the requirements of the particular WLANs they may map to. However, be careful not to name policies after specific WLANs, as individual ACL policies can be used by more than one WLAN. For detailed information on assigning ACL policies to specific WLANs, see Creating/Editing Individual WLANs on page 5-139. To create or edit ACL policies for WLANs: 1.
5 Either the New MU ACL Policy or Edit MU ACL Policy screens display. 3. Assign a name to the new or edited ACL policy that represents an inclusion or exclusion policy specific to a particular type of MU traffic you may want to use with a single or group of WLANs. More than one WLAN can use the same ACL policy. 4. Configure the parameters within the Mobile Unit Access Control List field to allow or deny MU access to the Mobility 7131 Access Point. The MU adoption list identifies MUs by their MAC address.
5 6. Click Cancel to securely exit the New MU ACL Policy or Edit MU ACL Policy screen and return to the Mobile Unit Access Control List Configuration screen. 7. Click Logout within the Mobile Unit Access Control List Configuration screen to securely exit the Access Point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout before the applet is closed.
5 2. Click the Create button to configure a new QoS policy, or select a policy and click the Edit button to modify an existing QoS policy. The access point supports a maximum of 16 QoS policies.
5 3. Assign a name to the new or edited QoS policy that makes sense to the Mobility 7131 Access Point traffic receiving priority. More than one WLAN can use the same QoS policy. 4. Select the Support Voice prioritization checkbox to allow legacy voice prioritization. Certain products may not receive priority over other voice or data traffic.
5 6. Use the drop-down menu to select the radio traffic best representing the network requirements of this WLAN. Options include: manual Select the manual option if intending to manually set the Access Categories for the radio traffic within this WLAN. Only advanced users should manually configure the Access Categories, as setting them inappropriately could negatively impact the access point’s performance. 11ag - wifi Use this setting for high-end multimedia devices that using the high rate 802.
5 CW Min The contention window minimum value is the least amount of time the MU waits before transmitting when there is no other data traffic on the network. The longer the interval, the lesser likelihood of collision. This value should be set to a smaller increment for higher priority traffic. Reduce the value when traffic on the WLAN is anticipated as being smaller.
5 Configuring WLAN Hotspot Support The access point enables hotspot operators to provide user authentication and accounting without a special client application. The access point uses a traditional Internet browser as a secure authentication device. Rather than rely on built-in 802.11security features to control access point association privileges, configure a WLAN with no WEP (an open network).
5 3. Refer to the HTTP Redirection field to specify how the Login, Welcome, and Fail pages are maintained for this specific WLAN. The pages can be hosted locally or remotely. . Use Default Files Select the Use Default Files checkbox if the login, welcome and fail pages reside on the access point. Use External URL Select the Use External URL checkbox to define a set of external URLs for hotspot users to access the login, welcome and fail pages.
5 Login Page URL Define the complete URL for the location of the Login page. The Login screen will prompt the hotspot user for a username and password to access the Welcome page. Welcome Page URL Define the complete URL for the location of the Welcome page. The Welcome page asserts the hotspot user has logged in successfully and can access the Internet. Fail Page URL Define the complete URL for the location of the Fail page.
5 Shared Secret Specify a shared secret for accounting authentication for the hotspot. The shared secret is required to match the shared secret on the external Radius accounting server. Timeout Set the timeout value in seconds (1-255) used to timeout users accessing the Radius Accounting server if they have not successfully accessed the Accounting Server. Retries Define the number of retries (1-10) the user is allowed to access the Radius Accounting Server if the first attempt fails. The default is 1.
5 When a client requests a URL from a Web server, the login handler returns an HTTP redirection status code (for example, 301 Moved Permanently), which indicates to the browser it should look for the page at another URL. This other URL can be a local or remote login page (based on the hotspot configuration). The login page URL is specified in the location’s HTTP header.
5 The css contains the styling information for all the elements on the screens. This includes the font of displayed text as well as image placement and sizing. The css contains an exhaustive list of text and image properties which can altered by professional installer to customize the appearance of the hotspot. Brocade Mobility provides a default set of HTML files for the login, welcome and fail pages, and one css file that’s referenced by these HTML files.
5 The HTML Editor enables you to customize the hotspot html code. It displays the login.html, welcome.html and fail.html files (depending on user selection) in an editable text area. CAUTION No file in a hotspot directory can exceed 10 kb. The maximum number of characters that can be entered into the text area is 10240. 5. Select Apply to save the updates made thus far. 6. Select the CSS Editor tab to review a guide describing css file customizations impacting how screens display for this WLAN’s hotspot.
5 CAUTION Once updated, the CSS file must not exceed 12500 bytes, or it cannot be exported back onto the access point for effective deployment with the hotspot. 7. Select the FTP Transfer tab to define the configuration of the FTP server configuration and target filename used to import or export the CSS and logo banners to and from the hosting access point.
5 Filename(s) Provide the name of the target file either imported or exported from the FTP server. Up to 10 files can be used, and each must not exceed 39 characters. Filepath(optional) Optionally provide the path to the hotspot files specified within the Filenames field. The path cannot exceed 39 characters. FTP Server IP Address Enter the IP address of the FTP server used by the access point to import and export hotspot file information to the clients providing hotspot access.
5 CAUTION Brocade Mobility recommends exporting any file present required for further development on to an external FTP server since they will all be lost during the restore operation. 9. Select the Delete All Files button to clear (delete) the hotspot directory for that particular WLAN so the user can better utilize the space in that hotspot’s directory. 10. Click Apply to save the changes made within the FTP Transfer tab.
5 Single Radio One radio supporting either WLAN or WIPS Dual Radio Two radios supporting either WLAN or WIPS (mutually exclusive) Three Radios Two radios supporting either WLAN or WIPS. Radio three dedicated to WIPS. For radios 1 and 2, WIPS and WLAN modes are mutually exclusive. In WLAN mode, a radio functions as a traditional access point, providing wireless bridging. In WIPS mode a radio provides no wireless bridging.
5 Review the Radio Function to assess if this radio is currently functioning as a WLAN radio or has been dedicated as a sensor. Refer to RF Band of Operation parameter to ensure you are enabling the correct 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio. After the settings are applied within this Radio Configuration screen, the Radio Status and MUs connected values update. If this is an existing radio within a mesh network, these values update in real-time.
5 NOTE The Maximum MUs feature is not supported on single radio model access points, since MU load balancing distributes MU associations evenly among deployed APs. A single-radio AP’s primary concern is how MUs are distributed internally, and that depends on the maximum number of MUs per WLAN, not per radio. Thus, the feature best supports multiple-radio APs. However, with a multiple-radio AP, a radio can be configured as either a Rogue AP or WIPS detector, not for just WLAN MU support.
5 CAUTION An access point is Base Bridge mode logs out whenever a Client Bridge associates to the Base Bridge over the LAN connection. This problem is not experienced over the access point’s WAN connection. If this situation is experienced, log-in to the access point again. Once the settings within the Radio Configuration screen are applied (for an initial deployment), the current number of client bridge connections for this specific radio displays within the CBs Connected field.
5 Once the settings within the Radio Configuration screen are applied (for an initial deployment), the current number of base bridges visible to the radio displays within the BBs Visible field, and the number of base bridges currently connected to the radio displays within the BBs Connected field. If this is an existing radio within a mesh network, these values update in real-time. 7. Click the Advanced button to define a prioritized list of access points to define Mesh Connection links.
5 Base Bridges, if the difference in signal strength is greater than the configured delta value, the connection to the existing Base Bridge is dropped and a new Base Bridge is selected based on the highest RSSI value. If the difference in signal strength is less than the configured delta value, the existing connection is maintained. Click the Client Bridge Signal Monitor to enable the device to monitor the signal strength of the base bridge it is connected to.
5 On a single-radio model, Radio1 could either be an 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n radio depending on which radio has been enabled. 2. Configure the Properties field to assign a name and placement designation for the radio. Placement Use the Placement drop-down menu to specify whether the radio is located outdoors or indoors. Default placement depends on the country of operation selected for the Mobility 7131 Access Point.
5 CAUTION Indoor channels for a Brocade Mobility Mobility 7131 Access Point model access point are different then a Mobility 7131N model access point’s indoor channels due to FCC regulatory restrictions. When deploying a mesh network, Brocade Mobility recommends manually configuring channels and not using the Automatic or Uniform options. 802.11 b/g/n mode For radio1, specify B, G and N, B and G, G Only, B only or N Only to define whether the 802.11b/g/n radio transmits in the 2.
5 Power Level Use the drop-down menu to defines the transmit power of the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n antenna(s). The values are expressed in dBm and mW. Antenna Gain Set the antenna gain used with the selected antenna type between 0.00 - 15.00 dBm.
5 4. Configure the Performance field to set the preamble, thresholds values and QoS values for the radio.
5 172 Support Short Preamble Interval The preamble is approximately 8 bytes of packet header generated by the access point and attached to a packet prior to transmission from the 802.11b radio. The preamble length for 802.11b transmissions is rate dependant. A short preamble is 50% shorter than a long preamble. Leave the checkbox unselected if in a mixed MU/AP environment, as MUs and the access point are required to have the same RF Preamble settings for interoperability. The default is Disabled.
5 Set Aggregation Select the Enable Transmit A-MSDU checkbox (within the A-MSDU Aggregation field) to enable the aggregation of MAC Service frames. When enabled, long frames can be both sent and received (up to 4 KB). The A-MSDU buffer limit is not user configurable. If disabled, no AMSDU packets are transmitted by the access point. Select the Enable Transmit A-MPDU checkbox (within the A-MPDU Aggregation field) to allow the aggregation of MAC Protocol frames.
5 7. Refer to the QBSS Load Element Settings field to determine whether channel usage data is transmitted to associated devices. Enable QBSS load element When enabled, the access point communicates channel usage data to associated devices using an interval you define. The QBSS load represents the percentage of time the channel is in use by the access point and the access point’s MU count.
5 Defining Primary WLANs allows an administrator to dedicate BSSIDs (4 BSSIDs are available for mapping) to WLANs. From that initial BSSID assignment, Primary WLANs can be defined from within the WLANs assigned to BSSID groups 1 through 4. Each BSSID beacons only on the primary WLAN. The user should assign each WLAN to its own BSSID. In cases where more than four WLANs are required, WLANs should be grouped according to their security policies so all of the WLANs on a BSSID have the same security policy.
5 BC/MC Cipher A read only field displaying the downgraded BC/MC (Broadcast/Multicast) cipher for a WLAN based on the BSSID and VLAN ID to which it has been mapped. Status Displays the following color coded status: Red - Error (Invalid Configuration) Yellow - Warning (Broadcast Downgrade) Green - Good (Configuration is OK) Message Displays the verbal status of the WLAN and BSSID assignments. If the Status column displays green, the Message will typically be Configuration is OK.
5 2. Select the Enable MU Rate Limiting option to globally enable MU rate limiting for each of the access point’s 16 WLANs. Once enabled, MU rate limiting still needs to be enabled for a specific WLAN, then the rate limit allocation needs to be defined for MU traffic within that specific WLAN. To modify a WLAN-to-radio assignment, see Creating/Editing Individual WLANs on page 5-139. 3. Refer to the Per WLAN Rate Limits field to review the rate limits defined thus far for any of the access point’s 16 WLANs.
5 Configuring Router Settings The Mobility 7131 Access Point router uses routing tables and protocols to forward data packets from one network to another. The Mobility 7131 Access Point router manages traffic within the network, and directs traffic from the WAN to destinations on the Mobility 7131 Access Point managed LAN. Use the Mobility 7131 Access Point Router screen to view the router's connected routes. To access the Router screen. 1.
5 Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an interior gateway protocol that specifies how routers exchange routing-table information. The Router screen also allows the administrator to select the type of RIP and the type of RIP authentication used by the switch. For more information on configuring RIP, see Setting the RIP Configuration on page 5-179. 5. Use the User Defined Routes field to add or delete static routes.
5 3. If RIP v2 or RIP v2 (v1 compat) is the selected RIP type, the RIP v2 Authentication field becomes active. Select the type of authentication to use from the Authentication Type drop-down menu. Available options include: None This option disables the RIP authentication. Simple This option enable RIP version 2’s simple authentication mechanism. This setting activates the Password (Simple Authentication) field. MD5 This option enables the MD5 algorithm for data verification.
5 Configuring IP Filtering Use the access point’s IP filtering functionality to determine which IP packets are processed normally by the access point and which are discarded. If discarded, a packet is deleted and ignored (as if never received). The allow/deny mechanism used by IP filtering makes it similar to an access control list (ACL). IP filtering supports the creation of up to 20 filter rules enforced at layer 3.
5 When the IP Filtering screen is initially displayed, there are no default filtering policies, and they must be created. NOTE With IP Filtering, users can only define a destination port, not a source port. 2. Click the Add button to define the attributes of a new IP Filtering policy. The following policy (or filtering rule) attributes require definition.
5 Dst Start Creates a range beginning destination IP address to be either allowed or denied IP packet forwarding. Setting the Dst End value the same as the Dst Start allows or denies just this address without defining a range. Dst End Providing this address completes a range of destination addresses than can either be allowed or denied access to the LAN1, LAN2 or WLAN. In Use Displays YES if the listed filter policy is currently being utilized by LAN1, LAN2 or a WLAN.
5 The screen displays with both the Default Incoming Deny and Default Outgoing Deny checkboxes selected by default. Consequently, if you enable IP filtering but do not apply any filters that allow IP traffic, then no IP traffic will be forwarded, as the default deny settings have precedence. 2. Use the Filter name drop menu to select an existing filter. 3. Set the Direction as Incoming or Outgoing as required. 4.
5 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------1 icmp1 ICMP ALL 10.1.1.1 11.1.1.1 NO 10.1.1.10 11.1.1.10 admin(network.ipfilter)> Once created, the filter displays within the Network Configuration -> IP Filtering screen. Applying the Filter to a WLAN or LAN Once created, filters in the IP Filter Table can be applied to a WLAN or LAN. Refer to the following diagram to illustrate this point.
5 Adding a filter to LAN 1 for outbound traffic results in the inspection of packets at point A. Both packets out the physical port and wireless transmissions are checked. Adding a filter to WLAN 1 for inbound traffic results in the inspection of packets at point B. Even though WLAN 2 is on LAN 1, its packets are unaffected. Adding a filter to WLAN 3 for inbound traffic results in the inspection of packets at point C. Default rules must also be set upon enabling IP filtering on a LAN or WLAN.
5 Creating a LAN IP Filter Policy The following example uses the access point CLI: admin(network.lan.ipfpolicy)>add 1 icmp1 incoming deny admin(network.lan.ipfpolicy)>show 1 -----------------------------------------------------------------Idx Filter-Name Direction Action -----------------------------------------------------------------1 icmp1 incoming deny IP Filter Mode Default Incoming Action Default Outgoing Action admin(network.lan.

6 Configuring Security Options To configure the data protection options available on the Mobility 7131 Access Point, refer to the following: • To set an administrative password for secure Mobility 7131 Access Point logins, see Setting Passwords on page 6-190. • To display security policy screens used to configure the authetication and encryption schemes available to the Mobility 7131 Access Point, see Enabling Authentication and Encryption Schemes on page 6-192.
6 To connect to the access point, the IP address is required. If connected to the access point using the WAN port, the default static IP address is 10.1.1.1. The default password is “admin123.” If connected to the access point using the LAN port, the default setting is DHCP client. The user is required to know the IP address to connect to the access point using a Web browser. The Mobility 7131 Access Point Login screen displays. NOTE For optimum compatibility use Sun Microsystems’ JRE 1.
6 Resetting the Access Point Password The access point has a means of restoring its password to its default value. Doing so also reverts the access point’s security, radio and power management configuration to their default settings. Only an installation professional should reset the access point’s password and promptly define a new restrictive password.
6 The New Security Policy screen displays with the Manually Pre-shared key/No authentication and No Encryption options selected. Naming and saving such a policy (as is) would provide no security and might only make sense in a guest network wherein no sensitive data is either transmitted or received. However, selecting any other authetnication or encryption checkbox displays a configuration field for the selected security scheme within the New Security Policy screen.
6 6. Click Apply to keep changes made within the New Security Policy screen (if any). Configure encryption or authentication supported security policies by referring to the following: Mobility 7131 Access Point authentication: • To create a security policy supporting Kerberos, see, Configuring Kerberos Authentication on page 6-194. • To define a security policy supporting 802.1x EAP, see Configuring 802.1x EAP Authentication on page 6-196.
6 To configure Kerberos on the Mobility 7131 Access Point: 1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Security from the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu tree. If security policies supporting Kerberos exist, they appear within the Security Configuration screen. These existing policies can be used as is, or their properties edited by clicking the Edit button. To configure a new security policy supporting Kerberos, continue to step 2. 2. Click the Create button to configure a new policy supporting Kerberos.
6 Realm Name Specify a realm name that is case-sensitive, for example, BROCADE.COM. The realm name is the name domain/realm name of the KDC Server. A realm name functions similarly to a DNS domain name. In theory, the realm name is arbitrary. However, in practice a Kerberos realm is named by uppercasing the DNS domain name that is associated with hosts in the realm. Primary KDC Specify a numerical (non-DNS) IP address and port for the primary Key Distribution Center (KDC).
6 4. Ensure the Name of the security policy entered suits the intended configuration or function of the policy. 5. If using the access point’s Internal Radius server, leave the Radius Server drop-down menu in the default setting of Internal. If an external Radius server is used, select External from the drop-down menu. CAUTION If using external radius authentication with admin users, and the connectivity to the Radius server is lost, the values will revert to local authentication. 6.
6 Radius Server Address If using an External Radius Server, specify the numerical (non-DNS) IP address of a primary Remote Dial-In User Service (Radius) server. Optionally, specify the IP address of a secondary server. The secondary server acts as a failover server if the primary server cannot be contacted. An ISP or a network administrator provides these addresses.
6 Enable Reauthentication Select the Enable Reauthentication checkbox to configure a wireless connection policy so MUs are forced to reauthenticate periodically. Periodic repetition of the EAP process provides ongoing security for current authorized connections. Period (30-9999) secs Set the EAP reauthentication period to a shorter interval for tighter security on the WLAN's connections.
6 To configure WEP on the Mobility 7131 Access Point: 1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Security from the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu tree. If security policies supporting WEP exist, they appear within the Security Configuration screen. These existing policies can be used as is, or their properties edited by clicking the Edit button. To configure a new security policy supporting WEP, continue to step 2. 2. Click the Create button to configure a new policy supporting WEP.
6 Pass Key Specify a 4 to 32 character pass key and click the Generate button. The pass key can be any alphanumeric string. The Mobility 7131 Access Point, other proprietary routers and Brocade Mobility MUs use the algorithm to convert a string to the same hexadecimal number. MUs without Brocade Mobility adapters need to use WEP keys manually configured as hexadecimal numbers. Keys #1-4 Use the Key #1-4 areas to specify key numbers.
6 3. Select the KeyGuard radio button. The KeyGuard Settings field displays within the New Security Policy screen. 4. Ensure the Name of the security policy entered suits the intended configuration or function of the policy. 5. Configure the KeyGuard Settings field as required to define the Pass Key used to generate the WEP keys used with the KeyGuard algorithm.
6 6. Select the Allow WEP128 Clients checkbox (from within the KeyGuard Mixed Mode field) to enable WEP128 clients to associate with an access point’s KeyGuard supported WLAN. The WEP128 clients must use the same keys as the KeyGuard clients to interoperate within the access point’s KeyGuard supported WLAN. 7. Click the Apply button to save any changes made within the KeyGuard Setting field of the New Security Policy screen. 8.
6 5. Configure the Key Rotation Settings area as needed to broadcast encryption key changes to MUs and define the broadcast interval. Broadcast Key Rotation Select the Broadcast Key Rotation checkbox to enable or disable broadcast key rotation. When enabled, the key indices used for encrypting/decrypting broadcast traffic will be alternatively rotated on every interval specified in the Broadcast Key Rotation Interval. Enabling broadcast key rotation enhances the broadcast traffic security on the WLAN.
6 28292A2B2C2D2E2F 7. Enable WPA2-TKIP Support as needed to allow WPA2 and TKIP client interoperation. Allow WPA2-TKIP clients WPA2-TKIP support enables WPA2 and TKIP clients to operate together on the network. 8. Configure the Fast Roaming (802.1x only) field as required to enable additional Mobility 7131 Access Point roaming and key caching options. This feature is applicable only when using 802.1x EAP authentication with WPA2-TKIP.
6 2. Click the Create button to configure a new policy supporting WPA2-CCMP. The New Security Policy screen displays with no authentication or encryption options selected. 3. Select the WPA2/CCMP (802.11i) checkbox. The WPA2/CCMP Settings field displays within the New Security Policy screen. 4. Ensure the Name of the security policy entered suits the intended configuration or function of the policy. 5.
6 ASCII Passphrase To use an ASCII passphrase (and not a hexadecimal value), select the checkbox enter an alphanumeric string of 8 to 63 characters. The string allows character spaces. The Mobility 7131 Access Point converts the string to a numeric value. This passphrase saves the administrator from entering the 256-bit key each time keys are generated.
6 Configuring Multi Cipher Support The access point’s Multi Cipher allows legacy and new MUs (Wi-Fi handheld devices) within the same WLAN. Multi cipher extends the access point’s existing WLAN security options by allowing dynamic WEP and 802.11i configurations to co-exist, and allowing multiple security policies to be associated with the same ESSID on different WLANs. Within such an environment, legacy MUs are capable of WEP, while new MUs are capable of WPA/2-TKIP and WPA2-CCMP encryption.
6 To configure multiple cipher support: 1. Create a WLAN supporting WEP64 as its security scheme. For information on how to create or edit a WLAN and assign it a security scheme, see Creating/Editing Individual WLANs on page 5-139. For information on how to assign a WLAN a security policy supporting WEP, see Configuring WEP Encryption on page 6-199. 2. Create a second WLAN with the same ESSID as the WLAN created in step 1. However, assign the second WLAN a security policy supporting WPA2-CCMP.
6 This results in the AP beaconing the same ESSID but different WLAN BSSIDs and security schemes. Configuring Firewall Settings The Mobility 7131 Access Point's firewall is a set of related programs located in the gateway on the WAN side of the Mobility 7131 Access Point. The firewall uses a collection of filters to screen information packets for known types of system attacks. Some of the Mobility 7131 Access Point's filters are continuously enabled, others are configurable.
6 2. Refer to the Global Firewall Disable field to enable or disable the Mobility 7131 Access Point firewall. Disable Firewall Select the Disable Firewall checkbox to disable all firewall functions on the Mobility 7131 Access Point. This includes firewall filters, NAT, VP, content filtering, and subnet access. Disabling the Mobility 7131 Access Point firewall makes the Mobility 7131 Access Point vulnerable to data attacks and is not recommended during normal operation if using the WAN port. 3.
6 FTP Bounce Attack Check An FTP bounce attack uses the PORT command in FTP mode to gain access to arbitrary ports on machines other than the originating client. IP Unaligned Timestamp Check An IP unaligned timestamp attack uses a frame with the IP timestamp option, where the timestamp is not aligned on a 32-bit boundary. Sequence Number Prediction Check A sequence number prediction attack establishes a three-way TCP connection with a forged source address.
6 3. Configure the Rules field as required to allow or deny access to selected (enabled) protocols. Allow or Deny all protocols, except Use the drop-down menu to select either Allow or Deny. The selected setting applies to all protocols except those with enabled checkboxes and any traffic that is added to the table. For example, if the adoption rule is to Deny access to all protocols except those listed, access is allowed only to those selected protocols.
6 Del (Delete) Click Del (Delete) to remove a selected list entry. Name Specify a name for a newly configured protocol. Transport Select a protocol from the drop-down menu. For a detailed description of the protocols available, see Available Protocols on page 6-214. Start Port Enter the starting port number for a range of ports. If the protocol uses a single port, enter that port in this field. End Port Enter the ending port number for a port range.
6 • GRE - General Routing Encapsulation supports VPNs across the Internet. GRE is a mechanism for encapsulating network layer protocols over any other network layer protocol. Such encapsulation allows routing of IP packets between private IP networks across an Internet using globally assigned IP addresses. Configuring Advanced Subnet Access Use the Advanced Subnet Access screen to configure complex access rules and filtering based on source port, destination port, and transport protocol.
6 3. Configure the Firewall Rules field as required add, insert or delete firewall rules into the list of advanced rules. Inbound or Outbound Select Inbound or Outbound from the drop-down menu to specify if a firewall rule is intended for inbound traffic to an interface or outbound traffic from that interface. Add Click the Add button to insert a new rule at the bottom of the table. Click on a row to display a new window with configuration options for that field.
6 The Mobility 7131 Access Point allows up to 25 VPN tunnels to either a VPN endpoint or to another Mobility 7131 Access Point. VPN tunnels allow all traffic on a local subnet to route securely through an IPSec tunnel to a private network. A VPN port is a virtual port which handles tunneled traffic. VPN is also supported with the access point’s new WWAN feature. For more information, see WAN Failover on page 1-3.
6 Remote Subnet The Remote Subnet column lists the remote subnet for each tunnel. The remote subnet is the subnet the remote network uses for connection. Remote Gateway The Remote Gateway column lists a remote gateway IP address for each tunnel. The numeric remote gateway is the gateway IP address on the remote network the VPN tunnel connects to. Ensure the address is the same as the WAN port address of the target gateway AP or switch.

Chapter 9 Configuring Mesh Networking In this chapter • .Mesh Networking Overview . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • Configuring Mesh Networking Support . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • Mesh Network Deployment - Quick Setup . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . • Mesh Networking Frequently Asked Questions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
9 A mesh network must use one of the two access point LANs. If intending to use the access point for mesh networking support, Brocade Mobility recommends configuring at least one WLAN (of the 16 WLANs available) specifically for mesh networking support. The client bridge creates up to three connections if it can find base bridges for connection. If the connections are redundant (on the same network), then one connection will be forwarding and the others blocked.
9 CAUTION An access point is Base Bridge mode logs out whenever a Client Bridge associates to the Base Bridge over the LAN connection. This problem is not experienced over the access point’s WAN connection. If this situation is experienced, log-in to the access point again. The access point in client bridge mode attempts to establish up to 3 simultaneous wireless connections. The second and third connections are established in the background while the system is running.
9 The access point can manipulate the path cost assigned to a bridge connection based on that connection’s RSSI. This results in the spanning tree selecting the optimal path for forwarding data when redundant paths exist. However, this can be overridden using the preferred list. When using the preferred list, the user enters a priority for each bridge, resulting in the selection of the forwarding link. Limit the wireless client’s connections to reduce the number of hops required to get to the wired network.
9 Configuring Mesh Networking Support Configuring the access point for Mesh Bridging support entails: • Setting the LAN Configuration for Mesh Networking Support • Configuring a WLAN for Mesh Networking Support • Configuring the Access Point Radio for Mesh Support. Setting the LAN Configuration for Mesh Networking Support At least one of the two access point LANs needs to be enabled and have a mesh configuration defined to correctly function as a base or client bridge within a mesh network.
9 Priority Set the Priority as low as possible for a to force other devices within the mesh network to defer to this client bridge as the bridge defining the mesh configuration (commonly referred to as the root). Brocade Mobility recommends assigning a Base Bridge AP with the lowest bridge priority so it becomes the root in the STP. If a root already exists, set the Bridge Priorities of new APs accordingly so the root of the STP doesn't get altered.
9 Configuring a WLAN for Mesh Networking Support Each access point comprising a particular mesh network is required to be a member of the same WLAN. Therefore, each base bridge, client bridge or repeater within the mesh network must use the same WLAN in order to share the same ESSID, radio designation, security policy, MU ACL and Quality of Service policy.
9 3. Assign an ESSID and Name to the WLAN that each access point will share when using this WLAN within their mesh network. Brocade Mobility recommends assigning a unique name to a WLAN supporting a mesh network to differentiate it from WLANs defined for non mesh support. The name assigned to the WLAN is what is selected from the Radio Configuration screen for use within the mesh network.
9 NOTE It is possible to have different ESSID and WLAN assignments within a single mesh network (one set between the Base Bridge and repeater and another between the repeater and Client Bridge). However, for ease of management and to not waste network bandwidth, Brocade Mobility recommends using the same ESSID across the entire mesh network. 4. Use the Available On checkboxes to specify the access point radio(s) used with the target WLAN within the mesh network.
9 NOTE The Kerberos User Name and Kerberos Password fields can be ignored, as Kerberos is not supported as a viable authentication scheme within a mesh network. 1. Select the Disallow MU to MU Communication checkbox to restrict MUs from interacting with each other both within this WLAN, as well as other WLANs. Selecting this option could be a good idea, if restricting device “chatter” improves mesh network performance.
9 NOTE The dual-radio model access point affords users better optimization of the mesh network feature by allowing the access point to transmit to other access points (in base or client bridge mode) using one independent radio and transmit with its associated devices using the second independent radio.
9 5. Select the Base Bridge checkbox to allow the access point radio to accept client bridge connections from other access points in client bridge mode. The base bridge is the acceptor of mesh network data from those client bridges within the mesh network and never the initiator. CAUTION A problem could arise if a Base Bridge’s Indoor channel is not available on an Outdoor Client Bridge's list of available channels.
9 9. Select the Automatic Link Selection checkbox to allow the access point to select the links used by the client bridge to populate the mesh network. Selecting this checkbox prohibits the user from selecting the order base bridges are added to the mesh network when one of the three associated base bridges becomes unavailable. NOTE Auto link selection is based on the RSSI and load. The client bridge will select the best available link when the Automatic Link Selection checkbox is selected.
9 12. Use the >> button to move a selected base bridge MAC address from Available Base Bridge List. 13. Refer to the Preferred Base Bridge List for a prioritized list of base bridges the mesh network’s client bridge uses to extend the mesh network’s coverage area and potentially provide redundant links. If a device does not appear on the Available Base Bridge List, there is no way it can be moved to Preferred Base Bridge List as the device has not yet been seen.
9 Disabled When disabled, both radios are up at boot time and beaconing. If one radio (radio 1) does not have a mesh connection, the other radio (radio 2) is not affected. Radio 2 continues to beacon and associate MUs, but MU's can only communicate amongst themselves using the access point. Disabled is the default value. Upload Detect When Uplink Detect is selected, the access point only boots up the radio configured as a client bridge.
9 • Scenario 2 - A two hop mesh network with a base bridge, repeater (combined base bridge and client bridge mode) and a client bridge. Scenario 1 - Two Base Bridges and One Client Bridge In scenario 1, the following three access point configurations will be deployed within the mesh network: • AP#1 - An active base bridge • AP#2 - A redundant base bridge • AP#3 - A client bridge connecting to both AP#1 and AP#2 simultaneously. AP#1 and AP#2 will be configured somewhat the same.
9 3. Define a mesh supported WLAN.
9 4. Enable base bridge functionality on the 802.11a/n radio (Radio 2).
9 5. Define a channel of operation for the 802.11a/n radio. 6. If needed, create another WLAN mapped to the 802.11b/g/n radio if 802.11b/g/n support is required for MUs on that 802.11 band.
9 Configuring AP#2 AP#2 can be configured the same as AP#1 with the following exceptions: • Assign an IP Address to the LAN1 Interface different than that of AP#1 • Assign a higher Mesh STP Priority 50000 to the AP#2 LAN1 Interface. NOTE In a typical deployment, each base bridge can be configured for a Mesh STP Priority of 50000.
9 3. Create a mesh supported WLAN with the Enable Client Bridge Backhaul option selected. NOTE This WLAN should not be mapped to any radio. Therefore, leave both of the “Available On” radio options unselected. 4. Select the Client Bridge checkbox to enable client bridge functionality on the 802.11a/n radio. Use the Mesh Network Name drop-down menu to select the name of the WLAN created in step 3. NOTE You don't need to configure channel settings on the client bridge (AP#3).
9 5. If needed, create another WLAN mapped to the 802.11b/g/n radio if 802.11b/g/n support is required for MUs on that 802.11 band. Verifying Mesh Network Functionality for Scenario #1 You now have a three AP mesh network ready to demonstrate. Associate a single MU on each AP WLAN configured for 802.11b/g/n radio support. Once completed, pass traffic among the three APs comprising the mesh network.
9 2. Enable client and base bridge functionality on the 802.
9 Configuring AP#3 To define AP #3’s configuration: 1. The only change needed on AP#3 (with respect to the configuration used in scenario #1), is to disable the Auto Link Selection option. Click the Advanced button within the Mesh Client Bridge Settings field. 2. Add the 802.11a/n Radio MAC Address.
9 In scenario #2, the mesh WLAN is mapped to BSS1 on the 802.11a/n radio if each AP. The Radio MAC Address (the BSSID#1 MAC Address) is used for the AP#2 Preferred Base Bridge List. Ensure both the AP#1 and AP#2 Radio MAC Addresses are in the Available Base Bridge List. Add the AP#2 MAC Address into the Preferred Base Bridge List. 3. Determine the Radio MAC Address and BSSID MAC Addresses.
9 Verifying Mesh Network Functionality for Scenario #2 You now have a three AP demo multi-hop mesh network ready to demonstrate. Associate an MU on the WLANs configured on the 802.11b/g/n radio for each AP and pass traffic among the members of the mesh network.
9 Mesh Deployment Issue 5 - Do I need to use secure beacons on a mesh backhaul supported WLAN? Can I use secure beacons on the mesh backhaul supported WLAN? Resolution Yes, you can enable a secure beacon on a mesh backhaul supported WLAN. In fact, it is a Brocade Mobility recommended practice.
9 Resolution Yes, a Mobility 7131 Access Point and Mobility 5181 Access Point all support wireless firmware updates. Mesh Deployment Issue 12 - Can I perform firmware/configuration file updates with DHCP options? Can I use the AP’s Automatic Firmware/Configuration update functionalities with DHCP Options on the AP for mesh nodes as well? Resolution Yes, mesh nodes also support Automatic Firmware/Configuration updates using DHCP Options.

10 Where to Go From Here Refer to the following for a further understanding of AAP operation: • • • • • • • • • • Adaptive AP Management Licensing Switch Discovery Securing a Configuration Channel Between Switch and AP Adaptive AP WLAN Topology Configuration Updates Securing Data Tunnels between the Switch and AAP Adaptive AP Switch Failure Remote Site Survivability (RSS) Adaptive Mesh Support For an understanding of how AAP support should be configured for the access point and its connected switch, see
10 • Manual Adoption Configurationv NOTE To support switch discovery, a RFS4000, RFS6000 or RFS7000 model switch must be running firmware version 1.1 or higher. The access point must running firmware version 2.0 or higher. Auto Discovery using DHCP Extended Global Options 189, 190, 191, 192 can be used or Embedded Option 43 - Vendor Specific options can be embedded in Option 43 using the vendor class identifier: BrocadeAP.71xx-V4-0-0.
10 • Static FQDN - A switch fully qualified domain name can be specified to perform a DNS lookup and switch discovery. • Static IP addresses - Up to 12 switch IP addresses can be manually specified in an ordered list the AP can choose from. When providing a list, the AAP tries to adopt based on the order in which they are listed (from 1-12) NOTE An AAP can use it's LAN or WAN Ethernet interface to adopt. The LAN is PoE and DHCP enabled by default.
10 For sites with no secure link to the central location, an AAP can be configured to use an IPSec tunnel (with AES 256 encryption) for adoption. The tunnel configuration is automatic on the AAP side and requires no manual VPN policy be configured. On the switch side, configuration updates are required to adopt the AAP using an IPSec tunnel. To review a sample AAP configuration, see Sample Switch Configuration File for IPSec and Independent WLAN on page 10-484.
10 For an overview of mesh networking and how to configure an access point to support mesh, see on page 9-443.
10 Independent WLANs Only An independent WLAN configuration forces all MU traffic be bridged locally by the AAP. No wireless traffic is tunneled back to the switch. Each extended WLAN is mapped to the access point's LAN1 interface. The only traffic between the switch and the AAP are control messages (for example, heartbeats, statistics and configuration updates). Extended WLANs with Independent WLANs An AAP can have both extended WLANs and independent WLANs operating in conjunction.
10 Configuring the Adaptive AP for Adoption by the Switch 1. An AAP needs to find and connect to the switch. To ensure this connection: • Configure the switch’s IP address on the AAP • Provide the switch IP address using DHCP option 189 on a DHCP server. The IP address is a comma delimited string of IP addresses. For example "157.235.94.91, 10.10.10.19". There can be a maximum of 12 IP addresses. • Configure the switch’s FQDN on the AAP. The AAP can use this to resolve the IP address of the switch. 2.
10 • Adaptive AP Configuration • Switch Configuration NOTE Refer to Adaptive AP Deployment Considerations on page 10-483 for usage and deployment caveats that should be considered before defining the AAP configuration. Refer to Sample Switch Configuration File for IPSec and Independent WLAN on page 10-484 if planning to deploy an AAP configuration using IPSec VPN and an extended WLAN.
10 3. Enter up to 12 Switch IP Addresses constituting the target switches available for AAP connection. The AAP will begin establishing a connection with the first addresses in the list. If unsuccessful, the AP will continue down the list (in order) until a connection is established. 4. If a numerical IP address is unknown, but you know a switch’s fully qualified domain name (FQDN), enter the name as the Switch FQDN value. 5.
10 Switch Configuration A RFS4000, RFS6000 or RFS7000 (running firmware version 1.1 or later) requires an explicit adaptive configuration to adopt an access point (if IPSec is not being used for adoption). The same licenses currently used for br300 adoption can be used for an AAP. Disable the switch’s Adopt unconfigured radios automatically option and manually add AAPs requiring adoption, or leave as default.
10 6. Select the Independent Mode (AAP Only) checkbox. Selecting the checkbox designates the WLAN as independent and prevents traffic from being forwarded to the switch. Independent WLANs behave like WLANs as used on a a standalone access point. Leave this option unselected (as is by default) to keep this WLAN an extended WLAN (a typical centralized WLAN created on the switch).
10 Adaptive AP Deployment Considerations Before deploying your switch/AAP configuration, refer to the following usage caveats to optimize its effectiveness: • Extended WLANs are mapped to the AP’s LAN2 interface and all independent WLANs are mapped to the AP’s LAN1 Interface. • If deploying multiple independent WLANs mapped to different VLANs, ensure the AP’s LAN1 interface is connected to a trunk port on the L2/L3 switch and appropriate management and native VLANs are configured.
10 Sample Switch Configuration File for IPSec and Independent WLAN The following constitutes a sample RFS7000 switch configuration file supporting an AAP IPSec with Independent WLAN configuration. Please note new AAP specific CLI commands in red and relevant comments in blue. NOTE In addition to the sample configuration below, a WMM policy should be enabled and configured for the access point in AAP mode. The sample output is as follows: ! ! configuration of RFS7000 RFS7000-1 version 1.1.0.
10 is the default passkey. If you change on the AAP, change here as well. ! crypto isakmp key 0 12345678 address 255.255.255.

Appendix Usage Scenarios B In this appendix This appendix section provides practical usage scenarios for many of the access point’s key features. This information should be referenced as a supplement to the information contained within this Product Reference Guide. The following scenarios are described: • Configuring Automatic Updates using a DHCP or Linux BootP Server . . . . 495 • Configuring an IPSEC Tunnel and VPN FAQs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
B Embedded Options - Using Option 43 This section provides instructions for automatic update of firmware and configuration file via DHCP using extended options or standard options configured globally.
B NOTE If the firmware files are the same, the firmware will not get updated. If the configuration file name matches the last used configuration file on the access point or if the configuration file versions are the same, the access point configuration will not get updated. Global Options - Using Extended/Standard Options The following are instructions for automatic firmware and configuration file updates via DHCP using extended options or standard options configured globally.
B 4. Restart the access point. 5. While the access point boots up, verify the access point: • Obtains and applies the expected IP Address from the DHCP Server • Downloads the firmware and configuration files from the TFTP Server and updates both as required. Verify the file versions within the System Settings screen. NOTE If the firmware files are the same, the firmware will not get updated.
B Linux - BootP Server Configuration See the following sections for information on these BootP server configurations in the Linux environment: • BootP Options • BootP Priorities BootP Options This section contains instructions for the automatic update of the access point firmware and configuration file using a BootP Server.
B AP-7131:ha=00a0f88aa6d8\ :sm =255.255.255.0\ :ip=157.235.93.128\ :gw =157.235.93.2\ :sa=157.235.93.250\ :bf=/tftpboot/cfg.txt\ :T136=”/tftpboot/”: < LAN M AC Address> NOTE The bf option prefixes a forward slash (/) to the configuration file name. The forward slash may not be supported on Windows based TFTP Servers. 3.
B BootP Priorities The following flowchart displays the priorities used by the access point when the BootP server is configured for multiple options: If the BootP Server is configured for options 186 and 66 (to assign TFTP server IP addresses) the access point uses the IP address configured for option 186. Similarly, if the BootP Server is configured for options 188 and 129 (for the configuration file) the AP uses the file name configured for option 188.
B 5. Enter the WAN port IP address of AP #1 for the Local WAN IP. 6. Within the Remote Subnet and Remote Subnet Mask fields, enter the LAN IP subnet and mask of AP #2 /Device #2. 7. Enter the WAN port IP address of AP #2/ Device #2 for a Remote Gateway. 8. Click Apply to save the changes. NOTE For this example, Auto IKE Key Exchange is used. Any key exchange can be used, depending on the security needed, as long as both devices on each end of the tunnel are configured exactly the same. 9.
B 11. For the ESP Type, select ESP with Authentication and use AES 128-bit as the ESP encryption algorithm and MD5 as the authentication algorithm. Click OK. 12. Select the IKE Settings button.
B 13. Select Pre Shared Key (PSK) from the IKE Authentication Mode drop-down menu. 14. Enter a Passphrase. Passphrases must match on both VPN devices. NOTE Ensure the IKE authentication Passphrase is the same as the Pre-shared key on the Cisco PIX device. 15. Select AES 128-bit as the IKE Encryption Algorithm. 16. Select Group 2 as the Diffie -Hellman Group. Click OK. This will take you back to the VPN screen. 17. Click Apply to make the changes 18. Check the VPN Status screen.
B Configuring a Cisco VPN Device This section includes general instructions for configuring a Cisco PIX Firewall 506 series device. For the usage scenario described in this section, you will require the following: • 1 Cisco VPN device • 1 PC connected to the LAN side of the access point and the Cisco PIX.
B 192.168.3.x, etc • Question 2: Even if a wildcard entry of "0.0.0.0" is entered in the Remote Subnet field in the VPN configuration page, can the AP access multiple subnets on the other end of a VPN concentrator for the APs LAN/WAN side? No. Using a "0.0.0.0" wildcard is an unsupported configuration. In order to access multiple subnets, the steps in Question #1 must be followed. • Question 3: Can the AP be accessed via its LAN interface of AP#1 from the local subnet of AP#2 and vice versa? Yes.
B • FQDN - tries to match the user entered remote ID data string to the domain name field of the received certificate. • UFQDN - tries to match the user entered remote ID data string to the email address field of the received certificate. • Question 9: I am using a direct cable connection between my two VPN gateways for testing and cannot get a tunnel established, yet it works when I set them up across another network or router.
B VPN requires certain packets to be passed through the firewall. Subnet Access automatically inserts these rules for you when you do VPN. Advanced Subnet Access requires these rules to be in effect for each tunnel. • An 'allow' inbound rule. Scr Dst Transport ANY Scr port 1:65535 Dst port 1:65535 Rev NAT None • An 'allow' outbound rule.
