To configure a WLAN GW on an IES group interface

Purpose

Before you can configure a WLAN GW for an IES group interface, you must configure an IES group interface with the Specific Type parameter set to Soft GRE. See To configure a group interface on an IES .

Steps
 

Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.


Choose an IES and click Properties. The IES (Edit) form opens.


On the service tree, expand Sites→routing_instance→Subscriber Interfaces→subscriber_interface.


Right-click on a soft GRE group interface. The IES Group Interface (Edit) form opens.


Click on the WLAN GW tab.


Configure the required parameters.


Select a WLAN GW group.


Select a tunnel router instance.


Select a default retail IES.

  1. Configure the required parameters.

    If the Default ID Type parameter is set to Use String, configure the Default ID String parameter.

    If the WLAN GW is supporting managed routes, set the Anti-Spoofing parameter to Next Hop IP and MAC Address. To enhance security for MAC-only anti-spoofing, configure unicast RPF on the group interface; see To configure a group interface on an IES .

  2. Select a subscriber profile.

  3. Select an SLA profile.

  4. Select an application profile.

  5. Select a subscriber identification policy.

  17. Click on the SLAAC tab to configure lifetimes for SLAAC-configured IPv6 hosts.

    The Administrative State parameter must be Up to configure parameters on the SLAAC tab.

  18. Disable the Default check box and configure the lifetime parameters (in hours, minutes, and seconds) for any of the following categories:
    • Preferred Lifetime (Initial State)

    • Preferred Lifetime (Active State)

    • Valid Lifetime (Initial State)

    • Valid Lifetime (Active State)

  19. Click on the DHCP6 tab to configure lifetimes for DHCPv6-configured IPv6 hosts.

    The Administrative State parameter must be Up to configure parameters on the DHCP6 tab.

  20. Disable the Default check box and configure the lifetime parameters (in hours, minutes, and seconds) for any of the following categories:
    • Preferred Lifetime (Initial State)

    • Preferred Lifetime (Active State)

    • Valid Lifetime (Initial State)

    • Valid Lifetime (Active State)

  21. If the VLAN tag range is part of a home LAN extension configuration, click on the Cross Connect tab.

    Configure the required parameters and select an ISA RADIUS policy.

    You must enable Authentication on DHCP on the VLAN Tag Range - General tab in order to enable the Cross Connect configuration.

  22. If the VLAN tag range is part of a home LAN extension configuration, click on the Home LAN Extension tab.

    Configure the required parameters.

    You must enable Authentication on DHCP on the VLAN Tag Range - General tab, and enable the Administrative State of the BRG on the VLAN Tag Range - BRG Configuration tab in order to enable the home LAN extension configuration.
