1.1 Overview
1.1.1 Introduction
This product is compliant with mini PCI standard Adapter. The Broadcom 802.11b/g/n draft
2.0 SoC technique delivers up to 54Mbps or 300Mbps 11n data rate, the bandwidth support 20MHz and 40MHz for legacy WLAN standard and also fulfilled high throughput data rate requirement on 11n defined draft 2.0 specification, it is used 2sets of 2.4 Tx / Rx antenna’s combinations, since the IEEE802.11g is CCK & OFDM modulation scheme and used CCK modulation to follow backward compatible with IEEE802.11b, up to 54Mbps on single
2.4GHz frequency band.
A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) refers to the computer local area network that uses the wireless channel as the transmission medium. The WLAN is the important supplement and extension of the wired network and gradually becomes an important part of the computer network. The WLAN is widely used in the domains where mobile data processing is required or the layout of physical transmission medium cannot be performed.
l
As a new way of broadband access, the WLAN becomes more and more popular and develops rapidly.
802.11 is currently a common standard for constructing a WLAN because of the simple technology, stable communication quality, and comparatively larger transmission bandwidth. 0 shows the typical networking diagram of a WLAN.

1.1.2 802.11 Protocol Suite
With the making and development of IEEE 802.11 wireless network standards, the wireless network technology becomes more mature and perfect. Currently, the common IEEE 802.11 standards are as follows:
l
IEEE 802.11: is the first-version standard made by the IEEE. It defines the MAC layer and physical layer, the transmission rate as 2 Mbps, and the frequency band as 2.4 GHz.
l
IEEE 802.11a: mainly supplements the physical layer, and defines the transmission rate as 54 Mbps and frequency band as 5 GHz.
l
IEEE 802.11b: mainly supplements the physical layer, and defines the transmission rate as 11 Mbps and frequency band as 2.4 GHz.
l
IEEE 802.11e: rectifies the MAC layer to improve the Quality of Service (QoS) and solves some security problems.
l
IEEE 802.11g: is compatible with IEEE 802.11b, and defines the transmission rate as 54 Mbps and frequency band as 2.4 GHz.
l
IEEE 802.11i: mainly supplements information about wireless network security.
l
IEEE 802.11n: provides the maximum transmission rate of 600 Mbps, and supports the Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) technology.
1.1.3 Common Terms
l
Access Point (AP): provides the bridge function from the wireless station to the LAN and the frame conversion between wireless and wired modes.
l
Basic Service Set (BSS): refers to the range covered by an AP.
l
Service Set Identifier (SSID): identifies BSSs. To access the AP, the wireless station must be configured with the same SSID as that of the AP.
l
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP): adopts the RC4 symmetric encryption technology at the link layer. To obtain network resources, the encryption key of the user must be the same as that of the AP.
l
WiFi Protected Access (WPA): is a new technology that inherits basic WEP principles and corrects some WEP defects. WPA changes the mode of generating the key, improves the algorithm of generating the key, and changes key modes more frequently to obtain higher security. Thus WPA effectively solves the problems in WEP encryption.
l
WPA2: is the latest version of WPA. It is securer than WPA and more suitable to the encryption ptotocol with CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP) in a WLAN.
l
802.1X: is an interface-based network access control protocol. The client connected to the interface can access network resources only after passing the authentication.
l
WiFi Multimedia (WMM): is a wireless QoS protocol that ensures the prior sending rights for the packets of high priority, thus ensuring the better quality of applications such as voice and video services on wireless networks.
1.2 Configuring the Basic Attributes of a WLAN
1.2.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Applicable Environment
A WLAN is to be created.
Data Preparation
To configure the basic attributes of a WLAN, you need the following data:
l
Country and zone code
l
Interval for detecting the wireless station
1.2.2 Setting the Country and Zone Code
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run:
wlan country-zone-code country-zone-code
The country and zone code is set.
The country and zone code determines the attributes of the RF signal, such as the energy level, number of channels, and channel distribution. Set the correct country and zone code according to the location where the USG is used.
By default, the country and zone code is US.
----End
1.2.3 (Optional) Setting the Interval for Detecting the Wireless Station
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run:
wlan station idle-timeout interval
The interval for detecting the wireless station by the AP is set.
The AP sends null packets at the interval of idle-timeout interval to detect whether the associated wireless station is online. If the wireless station is online, it responds to the packets. If the wireless station does not respond, it indicates that wireless station is offline and the station is deleted from the network.
By default, the interval for detecting the wireless station by the AP is 60s.
----End
1.3 Configuring a WLAN-BSS Interface
1.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Applicable Environment
A WLAN-BSS interface is to be created before WLAN service class configuration.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring a WLAN-BSS interface, complete the following tasks:
l
Create a VLAN and set the IP address of the Layer 3 interface VLANIF corresponding to the VLAN.
l
Start the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on the VLANIF.
l
Add the VLANIF to the security zone and enable the interzone rule to allow packets to pass through.
