  11. Access Point Modes Positioning 1 Standalone: Isolated sites with few AP’s; no need for centralized configuration (Mom and Pop shops) 2 Virtual Controller: Isolated sites with <= 24 AP’s; centralized config management within site 3 Controller: Sites with >24 AP’s; multi-site deployments with central management requirement AP AP AP AP AP AP AP AP AP AP AP AP AP AP AP AP Controller VC Switch Switch Switch Standalone Virtual Controller Controller Based MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  12. standalone access points MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  13. Standalone AP Details • WiNG 5.2 brings a web interface to access points, making Standalone AP deployment easier • During initial setup wizard, simply select Standalone • MLCP is stopped on an AP when in Standalone mode, so it will not adopt to a controller nor will it adopt other Access Points MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  14. Virtual controller MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  15. Virtual Controller Overview • Virtual Controller provides controller-like features such as: • Firmware Updates for the other like Access Points on that location • Configuration Management for the other like Access Points • Statistics collection and aggregation • Troubleshooting for all the other like Access Points on that location • In addition an Access Point acting as a Virtual Controller supports all the features of an Independent Access Point • A Virtual Controller can have one RF Domain and one Profile • Any Access Point specific configurations that do not conform to that common Profile will need to be configured as overridesfor that particular Access Point MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  16. Virtual Controller Overview Cont. VC AP Managed AP Managed AP Policies WLANs Change Applied! Profile (1 Max) RF Domain (1 Max) Override Applied! Devices (24 Max) Managed AP Managed AP Managed AP Managed AP Managed AP MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  17. Virtual Controller Overview Cont. • Scales to 24 Access Points of same model. No cross-platform support! • Environment and initial configuration very similar to WiNG 5.X controller based design • Virtual Controller and RF-Domain manager in a controller-based environment are not the same thing MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  18. Virtual Controller When do you position a Virtual Controller? 1 Deployments that may only have a single location 2 Businesses that may be owned by one parent company, but managed individually 3 Sites with up to 24 Independent Access Points MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  19. Virtual Controller – Initial Configuration Initially Accessing Access Points Quick Start Wizard • If DHCP is present on the Access Points Native VLAN, the Access Points will dynamically obtain an IPv4 Address from the DHCP server • If no DHCP services are present, each Access Point will be automatically configured with a Zero Config IPv4 Address 169.254.X.Y/16 where: • X = the decimal equivalent of the 5th octet of the MAC address • Y = the decimal equivalent of the 6th octet of the MAC address • For example an Access Point with the MAC address 00-23-68-97-04-DC will use the Zero Config IPv4 Address 169.254.4.220 • Alternatively if a serial console port is supported on the Access Point, use the Serial Console port to assign a static IP address MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  20. Virtual Controller - Initial Configuration Quick Start Wizard • The Quick Start Wizard is automatically launched when you first login to the WiNG 5.X UI on an access point running a default configuration • The Quick Start Wizard may also be manually launched from the Configuration tab but only if the Wireless Controller’s default configuration has not been modified • The Wizard can be cancelled at any time, leaving the configuration in its default state. MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  21. Virtual Controller - Initial Configuration Quick Start Wizard – Introduction MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  22. Virtual Controller - Initial Configuration Quick Start Wizard – Access Point Type • You can choose Virtual Controller AP, Standalone AP or Dependent AP MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  23. Virtual Controller - Initial Configuration Quick Start Wizard – Access Point Type Cont. • Virtual Controller AP – The MLCP server starts and the Access Point takes on role of a Wireless Controller to other like Access Points • Standalone AP – The Access Points MLCP client will stop and the Access Point will not attempt to discover a Wireless Controller • Adopted to Controller – User can select Automatic (default) or Static and provide the necessary Controller IP address or hostname information MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  24. Virtual Controller - Initial Configuration Quick Start Wizard – Access Point Mode Selection MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  25. Virtual Controller - Initial Configuration Quick Start Wizard – LAN Configuration MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  26. Virtual Controller - Initial Configuration Quick Start Wizard – WAN Configuration MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  27. Virtual Controller - Initial Configuration Quick Start Wizard – Radio Configuration MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  28. Virtual Controller - Initial Configuration Quick Start Wizard – WLAN Configuration MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  29. Virtual Controller - Initial Configuration Quick Start Wizard – Country Code and Time MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  30. Virtual Controller - Initial Configuration Quick Start Wizard – Configuration Summary MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  31. Virtual Controller Common UI Screens • The Dashboard is similar to that of the RFS WiNG 5.x interface MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  32. Virtual Controller Configuration • Cannot support multiple RF Domains; there can be only one! MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  33. Virtual Controller – Initial Configuration Considerations • Only one RF Domain is supported • Only one Profile is supported (System Profile) based on the Access Point model • Examples ap6511-default, ap6532-default or ap71xx-default • A Virtual Controller can ONLY manage Access Points of the same model • Both Layer 2 and Layer 3 Adoptions are supported • Local Bridging Only • Extended VLAN functions are still available on the Access Points but are not supported in this release • RADIUS Server Policies are applied to the Virtual Controller Access Point • AAA Policies require the Server Type to be set to Onboad Controller • Captive Portal runs on each Access Point • Requires the Captive Portal Server Mode to be set to Internal (Self) • Each Access Point requires a Virtual IP Address on the assigned Guest VLAN MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  34. Lab MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  35. Configuration migration tool MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  36. Configuration Migration Tool Configuration Migration Overview • WiNG 5.2 introduced configuration migration functionality • Automated script that runs after a 4.x to 5.2 upgrade • Offline utility for more detail Automated Script: • Python application (script) that runs very early in the bootup process, before configured daemons start • Consists of a parser, a printer and a small amount of management code • Works on WiNG 4.x configurations to 5.2 and can revert configuration as well • Much of a 4.x configuration will carry over into 5.2. There will be an error message for commands that do not carry over. Power On Config Migration Tool Parser Printer Daemons Run-Time MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  37. Configuration Migration Tool Configuration Migration Process 1 User makes backup (offline) copy of WiNG 4.X configuration 2 User performs upgrade as normal to WiNG 5.X 3 4 5 6 During reboot, the migration script determines if conversion is needed and runs minimal connectivity conversion (IP’s, Default-Gateway, etc.) For further detailed conversion, an offline Windows utility is used against the backup copy, which carry over additional settings, such as configured WLAN’s. To complete, some parameters will need to be created, as they are foreign to a 4.X config; i.e. rf-domains, policies, etc. Copy of old config will be created, named according to previous version MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  38. Configuration Migration Tool Offline Conversion • The offline tool is a Windows executable that installs to “C:\Program Files\WiNG4_to_WiNG5”. • Enter that directory from a dos prompt and run cfgcv.bat: cfgcv four_three_sample.txt C:\Program Files\WiNG4_to_WiNG5> C:\Program Files\WiNG4_to_WiNG5>cfgconvert four_three_sample.txt commands.txt four_three_sample.txt.out FULL 4x to 5x configuration conversion in process 4x to 5x configuration conversion complete C:\Program Files\WiNG5_to_WiNG5> MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  39. Configuration Migration Tool Output • There is a sample 4.x configuration file that can be used for demonstration. • Output of tool will be the same name as the input file with “.out” extension • Notice some commands that do not transfer to a 5.x equivalent • ! • wlan 6 • no answer-broadcast-probes • wpa-wpa2 psk 0 123456789 • broadcast-ssid • bridging-mode tunnel • ! • !!

  41. Smart band control MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  42. Smart Band Control Overview • Introduced in WiNG 5.1, Smart Band Control detects dual radio clients and will distribute clients in each radio band based on a configurable ratio or percentage • One part in our Client Load Balancing strategy, allowing us to balance: • Across AP’s • Across Bands (2.4 or 5 GHz) • Across Channels in a band Competition only provides on band 2:1 Ratio MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  43. Smart Band Control How dual band clients are handled • An MU associates to an AP, which in turn learns the MU’s band capabilities • The AP then sends out a WNMP roam-notification to all other AP’s, advertising the MU’s band capabilities • Other network AP’s update a special MU band-capability table for subsequent roams • New AP can then influence MU’s selection of band if necessary WNMP 2.4GHz 5GHz MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  44. Smart Band Control What if client won’t change bands? • 2.4GHz is heavily loaded; a new client shows up • AP ignores probe requests, attempting to push client to 5GHz • Client persists probing at 2.4GHz; AP may interpret this as client being temporarily unable to connect at 5GHz (perhaps due to radar avoidance). • Once a pre-configured probe-request threshold is surpassed, AP allows client to connect at 2.4GHz 2.4GHz 5GHz MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  45. Smart Band Control Configuration • Enable at WLAN; set time for client band discovery: MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  46. Smart Band Control Configuration • Enable at the Profile or Device level: MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  47. 3G Backhaul SUPPORT MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  48. 3G Backhaul What is added? • Adding support for two new 3G cards: • Aircard 503 • Aircard 504 (AT&T 890) • No additional features yet • Support for primary WAN and failover WAN • Support for wired and wireless wan load balancing to come • Based on different traffic types being sent out either interface MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

  49. AP300 SUPPORT MOTOROLA PROPRIATARY AND CONFIDENTIAL
