BelAir20E User Guide BelAir20E Configuration InterfacesOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 6 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardBelAir20E Configuration InterfacesThe BelAir20E can be accessed and configured using the following configuration interfaces:• the command line interface (CLI)• the SNMP interface• the Web interface (using either HTTPS or HTTP)All three interfaces (CLI, SNMP and Web) have the same public IP address. All three also access the same BelAir20E node database. That means that changes made with one interface are seen immediately through the other interfaces. Command Line InterfaceThe CLI allows you to configure and display all the parameters of a BelAir20E unit, including:• system parameters• system configuration and status• radio module configuration and status• user accounts• BelAir20E traffic statistics• layer 2 functionality, such as those related to bridging and VLANs• Quality of Service parameters • alarm system configuration and alarms historyEach unit can have up to nine simultaneous CLI sessions (Telnet or SSH). For a description of basic CLI commands and tasks see “Command Line Interface Basics” on page 12.SNMP Interface The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a means of communication between SNMP managers and SNMP agents. The SNMP manager is typically a part of a network management system (NMS) such as HP OpenView, while the BelAir20E provides the services of an SNMP agent. Configuring the BelAir20E SNMP agent means configuring the SNMP parameters to establish a relationship between the manager and the agent.
BelAir20E User Guide BelAir20E Configuration InterfacesOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 7 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardThe BelAir20E SNMP agent contains Management Information Base (MIB) variables. A manager can query an agent for the value of MIB variables, or request the agent to change the value of a MIB variable.Refer to the following sections:•“SNMP Configuration Guidelines” on page 27•“SNMP Command Reference” on page 28Integrating the BelAir20E with a Pre-deployed NMSIn addition to providing support for the SNMP MIBs described in Table 2, BelAir Networks provides a number of enterprise MIB definitions that you can integrate with your Network Management System (NMS). Table 3 on page 8 describes the BelAir20E SNMP MIBs. A copy of the BelAir20E SNMP MIBs is available from the BelAir Networks online support center at: www.belairnetworks.com/support/index.cfm.

BelAir20E User Guide Command Line Interface BasicsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 12 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardCommand Line Interface BasicsUse this chapter to familiarize yourself with basic CLI tasks, including:•“Connecting to the BelAir20E” on page 12•“Starting a CLI Session” on page 12•“Command Modes” on page 14•“Abbreviating Commands ” on page 18•“Command History” on page 18•“Special CLI Keys ” on page 19•“Help Command” on page 19•“Common CLI Commands” on page 23Connecting to the BelAir20EYou can connect to the BelAir20E default address using one of the following methods:• through the BelAir20E radio interface• by connecting directly to the Ethernet port on the BelAir20ECAUTION! Do not connect the BelAir20E to an operational data network before you configure its desired IP network parameters. This may cause traffic disruptions due to potentially duplicated IP addresses.The BelAir20E unit must connect to an isolated LAN, or to a desktop or laptop PC configured to communicate on the same IP sub-network as the BelAir20E.Using the Radio InterfaceUse a desktop or laptop PC equipped with a wireless 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11n compliant interface as required, configured with a static IP address on the same subnet as the default OAM IP address (for example, 10.1.1.1/24). For the required configuration procedure, refer to your PC and wireless interface configuration manuals or contact your network administrator. The PC will connect to the BelAir20E through the radio interface.Connecting to the Ethernet PortUse a cross-connect RJ45 cable to connect the Ethernet port of the unit. For a detailed procedure, refer to the BelAir20E Installation Guide.Starting a CLI Session Start a Telnet or secure shell (SSH) client and connect to the BelAir20E IP address. If you are configuring the BelAir20E for the first time, you must use the
BelAir20E User Guide Command Line Interface BasicsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 13 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardBelAir20E default IP address (10.1.1.10). The BelAir20E prompts you for your user name and password.The default super-user account is “root”. The default password is “admin123”.If the login is successful, the BelAir20E prompt is displayed. The default prompt is “#”, if you login as root. Otherwise, the default prompt string is “>”.Note 1: The terminal session locks after four unsuccessful login attempts. To unlock the terminal session, you must enter the super-user password.Note 2: BelAir20E CLI commands are not case sensitive (uppercase and lowercase characters are equivalent). However, some command parameters are case sensitive. For example, passwords and any Service Set Identifier (SSID) supplied with the radio commands are case sensitive. Also, all parameters of the syscmd commands are case sensitive.Note 3: Later, you will see that you can configure the BelAir20E to have more than one interface with an IP address. For example, you can configure Virtual LANs and management interfaces each with their own IP address. If you do this, make sure your Telnet or secure shell (SSH) connections are to a management interface. This ensures maximum responsiveness for your session by keeping higher priority management IP traffic separate from other IP traffic.

You can further customize the prompt to show the switch name or a 20-character string that you define.Note 2: Access to a mode is only allowed if the user has sufficient privileges to execute commands in that mode.When you access a given mode, only the commands pertaining to that mode are available. For example, accessing snmp mode provides access to SNMP commands. For a physical interface, this means that only the commands that apply to that specific type and version of interface are available when you access a particular physical interface. For example, if you access an HTMEv1 interface, only the commands that apply to an HTMEv1 Wi-Fi radio are available.Entering ? displays the commands that apply to the currently accessed mode. Entering ?? or help displays the commands that apply to the currently accessed mode plus common commands that are available in all modes.Users may execute commands from other modes than the current one, by prefixing the desired command with the slash character ‘/’ followed by the mode’s name. For instance, entering:/system# /protocol/snmp/show communityexecutes a command from snmp mode while in system mode.Abbreviating Commands You must enter only enough characters for the CLI to recognize the command as unique.The following example shows how to enter the mgmt mode command show telnet status:/mgmt# sh t sCommand History You can use the history command to display a list of the last commands that you have typed.Example/# history 8  h 9  hi10  ?11  show user12  cd /system13  show loads14  show sessions15  cd /

Similarly, you can restore the entire configuration database from a previously saved backup copy. Saving the Configuration Databaseconfig-save [{active|backup} remoteip <ipaddress>                  remotefile <filename>                 [{tftp|ftp [user <usrname> password <pword>]}]] This command allows you to save the current configuration of the entire BelAir20E node. This includes all system, layer 2 and radio settings.
BelAir20E User Guide Command Line Interface BasicsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 22 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardWhen used without its optional parameters, the config-save command saves the configuration database for the active software load to persistent storage. The stored configuration is automatically applied at the next reboot.When used with its optional parameters, the config-save command also transfers the configuration database to a remote server. If active is specified, the config-save command saves the configuration database for the active software load to persistent storage and then transfers it to a remote server. If backup is specified, the configuration database for the active software load is not saved. Instead, the configuration database for the active software load that was saved previously to persistent storage, is transferred to a remote server.You can use either TFTP or FTP to communicate with the remote server. By default, the config-save command uses TFTP. If you specify FTP, you can also specify the username and password. The default FTP username is anonymous and the default FTP password is root@<nodeip>, where <nodeip> is the IP address of node making the request. If you do not use the default FTP username, the FTP server must be configured to accept your username and password.Restoring the Configuration Databaseconfig-restore remoteip <ipaddress> remotefile <filename>                    [{tftp|ftp [user <usrname> password <pword>]}]]                   [force]This command transfers the configuration database from a remote server to the active software load in persistent storage. This allows you to restore the entire configuration database from a previously saved backup copy.Use the reboot command for the new configuration to take effect.You can use either TFTP or FTP to communicate with the remote server. By default, the config-restore command uses TFTP. If you specify FTP, you can also specify the user name and password. The default FTP user name is anonymous and the default FTP password is root@<nodeip>, where <nodeip> is the IP address of node making the request. If you do not use the default FTP username, the FTP server must be configured to accept your username and password.The optional force parameter suppresses version checking on the configuration file that is being downloaded. You can use a backup copy that was created with a different version of software than the current software installed on the unit. If you do, BelAir Networks strongly recommends that you fully and thoroughly verify the configuration and operation of the unit after you reboot the system and before you save the restored configuration.

The deluser command deletes a user account. The default login, “root”, cannot be deleted.The moduser command modifies the parameters of a user account. For this command, the group parameter does not apply to changes to the root account.The show user command lists all valid user accounts, the mode in which they start their session and their maximum privilege level. For example, under Groups, normal users display NORMAL OBSERVER while the root account displays root NORMAL OBSERVER. The mode parameter sets the command mode that a user accesses when they log in. If unspecified, it defaults to a slash (/) so the user begins their session in root mode. Users with observer privileges must start their sessions in root mode.The group parameter specifies the user account’s privilege level. It can be OBSERVER or NORMAL. If unspecified, the user account has observer privileges.To use this command, you must be in mgmt mode.Note 1: The specified password is case sensitive, must consist of alphanumeric characters, must be at least six characters long, and cannot exceed 20 characters. Changes the super-user account require that you provide the super-user password.Note 2: The specified group is case sensitive.If you use a RADIUS server to authenticate users as they login, you must specify the user’s privilege level in the RADIUS Reply-Message field.

The default value is 10 seconds.The reauthtime parameter ranges from 0 to 50000000. It specifies the RADIUS re-authentication time (in seconds). This forces the BelAir20E to check all connected clients with the RADIUS server (that is, make sure they are still allowed to access the network) at the specified interval. You only need to configure this parameter if it is not specified on the RADIUS server. Setting the interval to zero disables this feature. The maximum interval time is 2147483647.

These commands allows you to change the idle period, preventing unwanted disconnections. The idle period is specified in minutes. Setting a period of 0 prevents any automatic disconnection.The set global-session-timeout command changes the idle period of all CLI sessions. Its <period> parameter ranges from 1 to 1440; that is up to 24 hours. You cannot specify 0 as the global session idle period. You must be logged in as root to use this command. The set session-timeout command changes the idle period of only the current CLI sessions. Its <period> parameter ranges from 0 to 1440; that is up to 24 hours. The session timeout period overrides the global timeout period.The new idle period takes effect immediately and to all current and future sessions; until changed with these commands again.The show command displays the settings for the global timeout period.

This includes IP addresses for the node’s management interface as well as any VLANs it may have. If you specify a new VLAN, then that VLAN is created. The del ip vlan command deletes VLAN IP parameters previously created with the set interface command.If the IP address is dynamically set, BelAir Networks recommends that you also configure the switch name, location and contact parameters. These parameters then allow you to identify the node if you later need to do a remote CLI session. Refer to “System Identification Parameters” on page 50.In addition to providing the IP address, the DHCP server can be used to supply additional parameters including:• a TFTP server and a script file name• DNS server IP address and a domain name• a SNTP server list and time offsetThe accept-dhcp-params parameter controls whether the node accepts additional parameters from the DHCP server or not. Refer to “DHCP Options” on page 58 for details. The delay-activation parameter specifies that the new IP parameters do not take effect until after you execute a config-save command. BelAir Networks recommends that you always specify delay-activation if you change the system IP parameters. Otherwise you will need to start a new CLI session using the new IP address to execute the config-save command to save your changes.
BelAir20E User Guide IP SettingsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 46 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardNote 1: DHCP servers usually have the ability to assign a default route to DHCP clients. Make sure that the DHCP server assigns only one default route, even you are using many different IP interfaces on the same BelAir platform (for example, a management IP interface and a VLAN IP interface). Note 2: You must configure the DHCP server lease time to be one minute or longer.Note 3: If the network contains nodes with static IP addressing and nodes with dynamic IP addressing, make sure the DHCP server does not issue addresses that been previously issued statically.Example/protocol/ip# set interface system dynamic fallback-ip 92.121.68.34 255.255.255.255 accept-dhcp-params disabled delay-activationThe previous command changes the system interface to:• accept a dynamic IP address, and no other parameters, from a DHCP server• if the DHCP server cannot be reached, use an IP address of 92.121.68.34 and an IP mask of 255.255.255.255The changes do not take effect until you use the config-save command to save your changes.Renewing the IP Address/protocol/ip/renew ip {system | vlan <1-2814>}This command is used when the node is configured to dynamically receive IP addresses. See “Configuring Dynamic IP Addressing” on page 45.Issuing this command causes the DHCP server to renew the IP address of the node’s management interface or of the VLAN.CAUTION! Using this command may cause the DHCP server to change the IP address of the node’s management interface. If this happens you may need to reconnect to the node using the new IP address. Auto-IP /protocol/ip/set auto-IP {enabled | disabled}This command lets you configure the auto-IP feature which complements the fallback IP when you configure dynamic IP addressing. Auto-IP is useful when multiple nodes have been configured with the same fallback IP.
BelAir20E User Guide IP SettingsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 47 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardThe auto-IP feature automatically configures the node to have a specific default IP address based on the node’s MAC address if it cannot get an IP address from the DHCP server or when it is in factory default mode. When auto-IP is enabled, the default IP address is 169.254.1.x with a mask of 255.255.0.0; where x is the last byte of the node’s MAC address. When you can connect a laptop directly to the unit, the laptop also auto-configures itself with an IP address 169.254.x.x and a mask of 255.255.0.0 if it is in DHCP mode. You can then use the laptop to start a CLI session into the unit with its 169.254.1.x address.The default setting is enabled.Setting a Static IP Address and Subnet Mask/protocol/ip/set interface {system | vlan <1-2814>}                                      static <ip addr> <mask>                                    [delay-activation]/protocol/ip/del ip vlan <1-2814>The set interface command specifies that the node uses static IP addressing for the node’s management interface as well as any VLANs it may have. If you specify a new VLAN, then that VLAN is created. The del ip vlan command deletes VLAN IP parameters previously created with the set interface command.The delay-activation parameter specifies that the new IP parameters do not take effect until after you execute do a config-save command. BelAir Networks recommends that you always specify delay-activation if you change the system IP parameters. Otherwise you will need to start a new CLI session using the new IP address to execute the config-save command to save your changes.Example/protocol/ip# set interface system static 92.121.68.34 255.255.255.255 delay-activationThe previous command changes the system interface to have a static IP address of 92.121.68.34 and an IP mask of 255.255.255.255. The changes do not take effect until you use the config-save command to save your changes.Static IP Routes /protocol/ip/add route <dest ip addr> <dest mask> gw <gateway>/protocol/ip/del route <dest ip addr> <dest mask> gw <gateway>The ip route add command adds extra static IP routes. If your units needs to communicate with an IP interface from another sub-network, you must add the appropriate routes to the remote IP interface. Contact your administrator to obtain the IP address and mask of the remote IP interface.

If the SNTP client cannot synchronize the unit date and time with the primary SNTP server, it attempts to synchronize with the secondary unit.The set timeoffset command configures an offset that is used to convert the displayed UTC time to local time. The hour_offset portion of the parameter ranges from -12 to +13. The minute_offset portion of the parameter ranges from 0 to 59. The set status {enable|disable} command enables or disables the SNTP client. To use this service, you must configure the IP address of at least one SNTP server either manually or through DHCP. When the SNTP client is enabled, the BelAir20E’s clock is reset to use UTC.The show status and the show config commands display whether the SNTP process is running or not and the effective (actual) information used by the SNTP client as well as the information stored by the BelAir20E. Differences may be caused by the setting of the accept-dhcp-params parameter.

BelAir20E User Guide BelAir20E Auto-configurationOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 58 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardBelAir20E Auto-configurationWith auto-configuration, the BelAir20E can automatically obtain a script file after it powers up. The unit then configures itself based on the content of the file. Auto-configuration minimizes the amount of manual intervention required to pre-configure the unit before you install it. To create a valid script file, refer to the guidelines listed in “Creating and Using Script Files” on page 56.The following sections describe the different ways you can automatically supply a script file to the BelAir20E:•“DHCP Options” on page 58•“DNS” on page 61•“Configuration Download Profile” on page 62All methods are independent, but can be used in conjunction with each other. For example, you can use DHCP options to download a script file that configures the configuration download profile. You then use the configuration download profile to download a second script file for the rest of the BelAir20E.DHCP Options With this method, the BelAir20E uses the exchange of DHCP packets with a DHCP server as a means of exchanging information during startup. The BelAir20E uses DHCP Options 12, 60, 55 and 43 to retrieve extra information during startup and to supply the DHCP server with information about itself.The BelAir20E provides the system identifier host name through DHCP Option 12 and the vendor class identifier BelAir Networks through DHCP Option 60. Through DHCP Option 55, the DHCP server provides the BelAir20E with the following parameters in addition to basic IP parameters (address, subnet mask and default route) described in “Configuring Dynamic IP Addressing” on page 45:• TFTP server IP address and script file name. These parameters cause a TFTP session to be created and the script file to be downloaded and executed during startup.• DNS domain name. Only one domain name is valid at any one time per BelAir20E and not per interface. See “Configuring the Domain Name System Lookup Service” on page 48.
BelAir20E User Guide BelAir20E Auto-configurationOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 59 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standard• DNS server IP addresses. Up to two DNS servers are supported. See “Configuring the Domain Name System Lookup Service” on page 48.• IP address for a time server. Two time servers are supported for use by the SNTP service. See “Managing an SNTP Server” on page 52.• time offset value used by the SNTP service. See “Managing an SNTP Server” on page 52.Through DHCP Option 43, the BelAir20E provides the DHCP server with the following parameters about the itself:• assembly code, as shown with the /system/show phyinv command• serial number, as shown with the /system/show phyinv command•MAC address• version of the active software load, as shown with the /system/show loads command• GPS coordinates, as shown with the /system/show coordinates command• switch name, as shown with the /system/show system-id command• custom field 1, as shown with the /system/show custom fields commandYou can use the information from DHCP Option 55 to configure the BelAir20E management interface or one of its VLAN interfaces.After the BelAir20E receives these parameters, it configures the interface in question. At startup, it downloads the script file from the TFTP server and executes it.DHCP options can only be enabled for one interface. For example, if you enable DHCP options for the management interface, you are prevented from enabling them for a VLAN interface until you first disable them for the management interface.By default, the BelAir20E accepts all parameters provided by the DHCP server. However, you can configure the BelAir20E to accept or reject any individual parameter. By accepting only specific parameters, you can control how much of the BelAir20E is auto-configured. For example, if you do not want to use a script file from the TFTP server, you can set the accept-tftp-download parameter to disabled. See “Accepting Specific DHCP Parameters” on page 60.
BelAir20E User Guide BelAir20E Auto-configurationOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 60 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardData provided by the DHCP server overrides any data configured locally. During operation, if the DHCP server provides updated data, the BelAir20E continues operation with the updated data.Pre-requisites To use DHCP options, your DCHP server must be configured to supply the information requested by the BelAir platform. In particular, make sure of the following:• Your DHCP server supplies a list of SNTP servers instead of NTP servers and that they are listed in order of preference.• Your DHCP server assigns only one default route, even you are using many different IP interfaces on the same BelAir platform (for example, a management IP interface and a VLAN IP interface). Configuring and Using DHCP Options To use DHCP options, you must: 1 Set the default IP address assignment of an interface to dynamic and set the accept-dhcp-params parameter to enabled. See “Configuring Dynamic IP Addressing” on page 45.2 Specify which specific parameters to accept from DHCP server. See “Accepting Specific DHCP Parameters” on page 60.The BelAir20E then contacts the DHCP server to request the parameters.Accepting Specific DHCP Parameters/protocol/ip/set dhcp-accept ([dns-domain {enabled|disabled}]                              [dns-server {enabled|disabled}]                              [tftp-download {enabled|disabled}]                              [time-server {enabled|disabled}]                                [time-offset {enabled|disabled}])These commands control whether the individual parameters supplied by the DHCP server are accepted or not by the BelAir20E. To use this command you must first set the default IP address assignment for the interface to dynamic and set the accept-dhcp-params parameter to enabled. See “Configuring Dynamic IP Addressing” on page 45.By default, the node accepts all parameters from the DHCP server; that is, each of these parameters is set to enabled.The dns-domain parameter controls the domain name option used to perform DNS requests. Only one domain name is valid at any one time per BelAir20E. See “Configuring the Domain Name System Lookup Service” on page 48.
BelAir20E User Guide BelAir20E Auto-configurationOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 61 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardThe dns-server parameter controls DNS server IP addresses. Up to two DNS servers are supported. See “Configuring the Domain Name System Lookup Service” on page 48.The tftp-download parameter controls two DHCP options: TFTP server IP address and script file. Enabling this option causes a TFTP session to be created and the script file to be downloaded and executed during startup.The time-server parameter controls the IP address for a time server. Two time servers are supported. This information is used by the SNTP service. See “Managing an SNTP Server” on page 52.The time-offset parameter controls the time offset value that is used by the SNTP service. See “Managing an SNTP Server” on page 52.The TFTP server IP address and the script file are downloaded and executed only during a startup. If the script on the server changes, it is not sent to the node until the next time the node reboots or starts up. If DNS and SNTP data on the DHCP server changes, then it is sent to the node whenever the node renews DHCP information. The new DNS and SNTP data then takes effect immediately.In all cases, DNS and SNTP data provided by the DHCP server overrides any data configured locally.DNS With this method, the BelAir20E uses DNS to connect to an FTP server containing a script file to be executed during startup. When the BelAir20E starts up with factory default settings, it looks for a DHCP server to assign its IP address.If the DHCP server provides a TFTP server IP address and script file name, then the BelAir20E performs auto-configuration based on these values. See “DHCP Options” on page 58. If DHCP server does not provide a TFTP server IP address and script file name, then the BelAir20E obtains the script file based on DNS information from the DHCP server as follows:1 The BelAir20E uses DHCP to obtain the DNS server IP address and domain name from the DHCP server.2 The BelAir20E attempts to open a session to an FTP host called bnconfigserv using local DNS settings. The host name bnconfigserv is hard-coded in the BelAir20E and cannot be changed. If unsuccessful, it opens

In either case:—The FTP username used by the BelAir20E is bn_%02x_%02x_%02x_%02x_%02x_%02x. For example, if the MAC address of the BelAir20E is 00:0d:67:0c:21:76, then the username on the FTP server is bn_00_0d_67_0c_21_76. The username must be in lower case and must exist in the FTP server.—The FTP password used is the md5sum of the username. To obtain this, do echo <username> | md5sum. Omit the spaces and dash at the end of the md5sum output. 3 In the FTP home directory for the user, the BelAir20E looks for a script file named bn_config.cfg. Configuration Download ProfileWith the configuration download profile you specify:• the filename of the script file• the server from which to get the script file• a user-name and passwordYou can specify the server by either its IP address or its name. If both are specified, the IP address has precedence. The default name is belairconfig.com.The script file is downloaded and executed only during a startup. If the script on the server changes, it is not sent to the node until the next time the node reboots or starts up. Pre-requisites To use a configuration download profile, your server must be configured with the appropriate user accounts and passwords. The account must contain a valid script file.Also, if you identify the server with a name, you need a DNS server to resolve names to IP addresses.

If you use the set pvid command and specify a VLAN ID, untagged VLAN packets coming from external network through the Ethernet or LAN port are converted to tagged packets with the specified VLAN ID before they are sent to the BelAir nodes. Similarly, packets that are tagged with the specified VLAN ID are sent to the external network through Ethernet or LAN port as untagged VLAN packets.• The set reverse-pvid command applies when traffic between BelAir nodes is untagged and must be tagged with a VLAN ID before it leaves the node through the Ethernet or LAN port to the external network. If you use the set reverse-pvid command and specify a VLAN ID, untagged VLAN packets coming from BelAir Nodes are converted to tagged packets with the specified VLAN ID before they are sent through the Ethernet or LAN port to the external network. Similarly, packets that are tagged with the specified VLAN ID arriving from the external network through the Ethernet or LAN port are converted to untagged packets before being sent to the BelAir nodes. If you specify the keyword untagged instead of VLAN ID, then packets are not converted as they enter or leave the Ethernet or LAN port of the egress node. The default setting is untagged.

Use the show available-config-options command to display valid channel numbers. The displayed values vary depending on the country of operation. Refer to your RF plan and site survey to determine which value you should use.CAUTION! Improper setting of channel, antenna gain and transmit power may exceed regulatory requirements and void the operator’s right to operate the radio equipment. Refer to the BelAir Radio Transmit Power Tables to determine valid combinations of channel, antenna gain and transmit power for your country.
BelAir20E User Guide Configuring Wi-Fi Radio ParametersOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 75 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardIf the unit is a member of a multipoint-to-multipoint mesh cluster, the channel must be set to match the one used by the multipoint-to-multipoint mesh cluster. If a unit is equipped with many radios for backhaul, their channels must be separated by at least 35 MHz (that is, seven channel numbers) to avoid radio interference resulting in poor data communication quality. For example, channel numbers 53 and 61 can be used together, but not 53 and 59. The secondary parameter applies to any radio supplying Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS), a regulatory requirement in some jurisdictions. The secondary parameter sets an optional secondary channel for use with DFS. The default value is 0, instructing DFS to operate as if the secondary channel is the same as the primary channel. If you change the channel number from the default value and if you do not specify a secondary channel, then your secondary channel is set to be the same as your primary channel. DFS behaves the same way regardless of whether your secondary channel is the same as the primary channel or whether your secondary channel is 0. Refer to your RF plan and site survey to determine if you need to set a secondary channel other than 0 or your primary channel.The channel-bandwidth parameter applies to the WCSv1 only. It sets the bandwidth of the channel you want to use. The specified bandwidth is in kHz.The channel-mode parameter applies to all 2.4 and 5.8 GHz radios. It sets the 802.11n channel mode.The auto and background-scan parameters apply to 2.4 GHz radios only.The auto parameter causes the radio to search for surrounding APs. At startup, the system scans all channels in a given channel mode to collect several parameters. The channel providing the best quality is selected.The background-scan parameter assists the auto feature in determining the channel settings to use. By default background scan is disabled. If background scan is enabled, the system periodically does an off-channel scan of a foreign channel where it collects more channel quality data.After a sufficient number of background scans have occurred, the system re-calculates the best channel to use based on:• the most recent data for the home channel and all foreign channels• the historic data of all foreign channels
BelAir20E User Guide Configuring Wi-Fi Radio ParametersOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 76 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardIf a foreign channel is at least 20% better the home channel, then the system switches to the new channel.The re-scan-channel command causes the radio to perform another search.See also:•“Country of Operation” on page 49• the BelAir Radio Transmit Power TablesAntenna Gain /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set antenna-gain <gain>This command lets you specify the gain of the antenna installed with your unit. Use the show available-config-options command to display valid gain values (in dBi). The displayed values vary depending on the country of operation and the channel in use.You must set the <gain> parameter to match the gain of the antenna installed in your unit. For all countries except Korea, the default access antenna gain is 8 dBi. For Korea, the default access antenna gain is 6 dBi.CAUTION! Improper setting of channel, antenna gain and transmit power may exceed regulatory requirements and void the operator’s right to operate the radio equipment. Refer to the BelAir Radio Transmit Power Tables to determine valid combinations of channel, antenna gain and transmit power for your country.See also:•“Country of Operation” on page 49•“Operating Channel” on page 74• the BelAir Radio Transmit Power TablesTransmit Power Level/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set tx-power <tx-power-value>                            [secondary <tx-power-value>]This command sets the transmit power for a Wi-FI radio. The range of <tx-power-value> is limited to be valid for your country of operation, physical channel in use, and type of antenna that is installed. Use the show available-config-options command to display valid transmit power values (in dBm). The displayed values vary depending on the country of operation and channel in use.The default setting is to have the radio transmit at maximum power.
BelAir20E User Guide Configuring Wi-Fi Radio ParametersOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 77 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardThe secondary parameter applies only to 5.8 GHz radios. It sets the transmit power for an optional secondary channel for use with Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS), a regulatory requirement in some jurisdictions. The default is to have the same transmit power level for both the primary and secondary channel. Refer to your RF plan and site survey to determine if you need to set a different power level for the DFS secondary channel.CAUTION! Improper setting of the transmit power may exceed regulatory requirements and void the operator’s right to operate the radio equipment.See also:•“Country of Operation” on page 49•“Operating Channel” on page 74•“Antenna Gain” on page 76Link Distance /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set link-distance <distance>This command adjusts the unit’s MAC timers to compensate for the additional time to receive acknowledgements because the other unit is farther.

This allows frames that failed due to the collision to get through without compromising the transmission rate (that is, the RTS is sent at 1mpbs and clears the channel of collisions for the high rate data packet).By default, CARA is enabled. Rate Aware Fairness/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set rate-aware-fairness {enable|disable}Rate aware fairness is a transmission algorithm that chooses dynamic retreat and progress thresholds based on the transmission rate of the station being transmitted to, and the size of the packet.Normally, when the AP has a client with a slower connection, all other clients are throttled down to that same rate. Rate Aware Fairness overcomes this issue by trying to give clients equal amounts of air-time instead of equal numbers of packets. By default, rate aware fairness is disabled.802.11n Aggregation/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set tx-aggr {enable|disable}This command applies to the HTM and DRU only.This command enables or disables transmit aggregation for the radio. Transmit aggregation is an 802.11n feature where multiple MSDUs or MPDUs are packed together to reduce the overhead and average them over multiple frames, thus increasing the user level data rate.The default setting is enable. Minimum Receive Threshold/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set rcv-rssi-threshold <dBM_threshold>                                             {disabled | enabled}This command sets a minimum signal strength threshold to prevent associations with weak radio signals. Associations are only created between radios with a signal strength greater than the specified threshold.The default setting is disabled.

SSIDs are case sensitive and can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters. To specify a blank string, input two double quotes (““).The ssid_index parameter is an integer from 1 to 8. Use the show ssid table command to determine <ssid_index>.For a description of the broadcast and suppressed parameters, see “Displaying the SSID Table” on page 89.The vlanID-list parameter, if present, specifies a comma separated list of VLAN IDs. Each VLAN ID must be an integer from 1 to 2814. The list can contain up to eight VLAN IDs.The vlanID-list parameter activates functionality to balance traffic among up to eight VLANs, based on the last three bits of the MAC address of the wireless client generating the traffic. The last three bits of the MAC address can range in value from 0 to 7. For example:• Traffic from clients where the last three bits have a value of 0 is directed to the first VLAN on the list.• Traffic from clients where the last three bits have a value of 1 is directed to the second VLAN on the list.
BelAir20E User Guide Configuring Wi-Fi Access Point ParametersOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 92 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standard• Traffic from clients where the last three bits have a value of 6 is directed to the seventh VLAN on the list.If the last three bits of the MAC address does not reference a VLAN on the list, then the client's traffic is directed to the first VLAN on the list.If the vlan parameter is none and the wireless client is sending untagged traffic, then the traffic corresponding to the specified SSID is passed through the access radio without change. If the wireless client is sending tagged traffic, then you can use the passvlanID-list parameter.The passvlanID-list parameter, if present, also specifies a comma separated list of VLAN IDs. As with the vlanID-list parameter, each VLAN ID must be an integer from 1 to 2814, and the list can contain up to eight VLAN IDs.The passvlanID-list parameter applies to pre-tagged traffic; for example, generated from Linux wireless clients. If the traffic’s VLAN tag matches a VLAN on the list, then that traffic is allowed to go through unchanged. Otherwise, the tagged traffic from the client is dropped. If passvlanID-list is populated, then vlanID-list can specify only one VLAN ID. In such cases, untagged traffic from the client is tagged with the VLAN from vlanID-list. If the VLAN ID list is set to none, then untagged traffic from the client remains untagged.If the passthrough VLAN list is none, tagged packets from a wireless client are dropped. Untagged packets from the client are tagged with the VLAN ID from vlanID-list according to the last three bits of the client’s MAC address.Upstream User Priority Marking/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set ssid <ssid_index>                         upstream-up-marking {enabled|disabled}                       [ up-value <val> ]This command enables or disables the ability to set the User Priority (UP) value of any packet received by the AP for a particular SSID. The UP values are then used throughout the network to separate and prioritize traffic through Quality of Service (QoS) settings. See “Quality of Service Settings” on page 177 for details. By default, upstream UP marking is disabled.The ssid_index parameter must be a valid SSID index. See “AP Service Set Identifiers” on page 88

The out-of-service string can be prepended to the existing SSID or it can replace the existing SSID. The out-of-service string can contain up to 14 characters. The default string is outOfService.. and by default it replaces the SSID.The out-of-service delay (<oos_delay>) ranges from 30 to 300 seconds. The default is 300 seconds. The out-of-service delay is set for the entire BelAir20E. Use the /system/show ap-oos-broadcast-delay command to display the current delay.When a node’s egress connection is declared out-of-service, the node also applies WPA AES encryption with a 16-character pre-shared key to all SSIDs except for the default management SSID. This is to to prevent a user from accidently connecting to an open SSID which is in out-of-service. The 16-character pre-shared key consists of the first 10 characters of the out-of-service identifier followed by the last six digits of the node’s MAC address. If the out-of-service identifier is less than 10 characters, then period characters (.) are used to complete the first 10 characters of the pre-shared key.The status of a node's egress connection is determined as follows:1 If a tunnel is enabled, the egress status is the tunnel's status.2 If a tunnel is not enabled and there is a cable modem in the system, the egress status is the modem's status.3 If a tunnel is not enabled and there is no cable modem in the system, the egress status is the Ethernet link's status.See also:•“Default Management SSID” on page 90•“Security Options for Wireless Clients” on page 100

ARP responses from the gateway are sent to the wireless client without interception and manipulation.When the AP starts, the ARP unicast conversion table is empty. So the first ARP packet from the client is sent out as is; no conversion happens. When the ARP response arrives, the AP records its information, including the unicast MAC address, in the conversion table. For the following ARP packets, the AP replaces the broadcast MAC address in the ARP packet with the unicast MAC address from the conversion table. When a conversion table entry is used, a 4-second response timer is started. If the ARP response arrives within 4 seconds, then the entry remains valid. Otherwise the entry is deemed invalid and removed from the table. Each entry is removed after 4 hours of inactivity.The table holds up to 128 entries.

The following topics are covered:•“Security Options for Wireless Clients” on page 100•“RADIUS Servers for Wireless Clients” on page 101—“Managing RADIUS Servers” on page 104—“Changing RADIUS Server Admin State” on page 105—“Assigning SSIDs to RADIUS Servers” on page 105—“RADIUS Pre-authentication” on page 105—“RADIUS Assigned VLAN” on page 106—“RADIUS Accounting” on page 106•“Client Authentication and De-authentication Trap” on page 107•“AP Privacy” on page 107•“Wireless Client Blacklist” on page 109•“Wireless Client Access Control List” on page 109•“Controlling Inter-client Communication” on page 110•“Protecting against Denial of Service Attacks” on page 113See also:•“Configuring Wi-Fi Radio Parameters” on page 72•“Configuring Wi-Fi Access Point Parameters” on page 80•“Wi-Fi Backhaul Link Configuration” on page 115•“Mobile Backhaul Mesh” on page 123Security Options for Wireless ClientsThe BelAir20E has several options for wireless authentication and data encryption. The method that you use depends on your security needs and your network configuration.
BelAir20E User Guide Wi-Fi AP SecurityOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 101 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardIf multiple SSIDs are configured, each SSID can be configured with its own security options.The authentication options are:• instruct the AP to connect to a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server in your network that keeps a list of accepted clients. RADIUS is a standard for user authentication. For this option, you need a RADIUS server. Multiple BelAir20E units can share the information from the same RADIUS server.• use a pre-shared key. This is a simpler authentication option, but more difficult to maintain because pre-shared keys must be distributed to all users.You can also create a list of accepted clients; that is, an Access Control List (ACL). This option is best suited for small networks.The encryption options are:• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). This is a basic encryption scheme. • Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). This is an more advanced encryption scheme. • Advance Encryption Standard (AES). This is the strongest encryption scheme. BelAir Wi-Fi radios offer WEP, WPA, WPA2 and WPA2mixed privacy settings. With WPA2mixed, the wireless client can use WPA or WPA2, and the AP accepts them both. WPA, WPA2 and WPA2mixed privacy uses TKIP or AES encryption. Because of this, WPA, WPA2 and WPA2mixed provide much stronger security than WEP. For small networks, you can use WEP or WPA with pre-shared keys. For large networks, you can use WPA, WPA2 or WPA2mixed in combination with dot1x (a RADIUS server) authentication.CAUTION! RADIUS authentication, WPA or WPA2 can only be used with wireless clients that support these standards (both the operating system and the network card). For clients that only support WEP, select a combination with WEP.Note: A network is as secure as its weakest link. If WEP is enabled, the overall level of network security will be that of WEP.RADIUS Servers for Wireless ClientsTo use RADIUS authentication, you need to configure at least one RADIUS server.

With this feature enabled, when an AP receives a client’s association request, it composes an access-request message and sends it to a RADIUS server. If an access-accept message is received from the RADIUS server, the AP continues with the client’s association procedure and grants access based on other criteria such as encryption type and key matching.
BelAir20E User Guide Wi-Fi AP SecurityOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 106 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardTo use this feature, you must configure your RADIUS server to have a list of all allowed clients. Each entry in this list includes a user name and a password. The user name and the password must be set to the client’s MAC address. The delimiter parameter specifies whether the RADIUS packets use a colon (:), a dash (-) or nothing as a delimiter when specifying a MAC address.To reduce the message exchanges between the AP and RADIUS server, an AP maintains two cache tables: one for all allowed clients and another for all disallowed clients. When the AP receives a client’s association request, it first searches both tables. If the client’s information is in the allowed table, the AP bypasses RADIUS pre- authentication. If the client is in the disallowed table, it is rejected immediately. Cache entries in either table expire in two minutes.The feature can be enabled or disabled on each SSID. Use the /wifi-<n>-<m>/show ssid table command to determine <ssid_index>. The default setting is disabled.RADIUS Assigned VLAN The BelAir20E can create VLANs as instructed by the RADIUS server. When this feature is activated, the RADIUS server instructs the BelAir20E to tag the authenticated packets to use the specified VLAN. This feature has no BelAir CLI commands. To activate this feature, you must provision the following attributes on your RADIUS server:• RA_TUNNEL_TYPE, set to 13• RA_TUNNEL_MEDIUM_TYPE, set to 6• RA_TUNNEL_PRIVATE_GROUP_ID, configure to contain the VLAN to be created.Refer to Table 10 on page 102.

The default setting is ssid, meaning that the called-station-ID and the calling-station-ID fields are formatted to include SSID information to the provided MAC address.Client Authentication and De-authentication Trap/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set client-trap {enabled|disabled}                                     [trap-delay {enabled|disabled}]This command controls whether a trap is sent for this particular radio whenever a wireless client authenticates or de-authenticates; that is, disconnects from the radio. The trap can be used by any Network Management System to monitor client activities. When the client trap is enabled and the trap delay is enabled, the trap is not sent out until 10 seconds after either of the following events:• the client connects and stays connected• the client is disconnected and stays disconnectedIf the trap delay is disabled, then the trap is sent out immediately after either of the previous events.When the client trap is disabled, the trap is not sent out.The default is to have both the client trap and trap delay enabled.AP Privacy  /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set ssid <ssid_index> privacy           {none|dot1x-open|wep40|wep104|           {wpa {tkip|aes}}|wpa2 {tkip|aes}|wpa2mixed}            [{psk <key-str>}|dot1x]           [rekey {no|kpackets <count>|seconds <seconds>}]            [strict {yes|no}]This command configures wireless privacy for a particular SSID. Use the show ssid table command to determine <ssid_index>. Use the show ssid <ssid_index> config command to show the current privacy settings.The dot1x-open parameter specifies an open privacy setting, but uses a RADIUS server for SSID authentication. The RADIUS server authenticates a wireless client by its username and password. After accepting the client, the RADIUS server does not provide encryption keys. The data transmission is open.
BelAir20E User Guide Wi-Fi AP SecurityOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 108 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardWPA, WPA2 and WPA2mixed privacy uses TKIP or AES encryption. With WPA2mixed, the wireless client can use WPA or WPA2, and the AP accepts them both. The psk parameter specifies using a pre-shared key for authentication. When specifying the pre-shared key, note the following:•For wep40, the pre-shared key must be exactly 5 bytes. •For wep104 with psk, the pre-shared key must be exactly 13 bytes. •For wpa, wpa2 and wpa2mixed, the pre-shared key must be between 8 and 63 bytes long. The longer the key, the more secure the connection. • The pre-shared key can be specified as a hexadecimal number or ASCII string. Hexadecimal numbers must be preceded by 0X or 0x. ASCII strings must not contain the following characters: —bar (|)—semicolon (;)—question mark (?)—double quotation mark (“) The dot1x parameter specifies using RADIUS (EAP) authentication. You must pre-configure a list of RADIUS servers. See “RADIUS Servers for Wireless Clients” on page 101.The rekey parameter allows you to specify Group Key Rekey options to improve security. These options allow you to specify that a new group key (the key that is used for communication between the access radio and a group of clients) must be generated at regular intervals. The default rekey setting is no meaning that the group key is not changed. If rekey is set to n seconds, the group key is changed after that time period. If rekey is set to n kpackets, the group key is changed after that many thousand packets. If strict is set to yes, the group key changes immediately when one client leaves the network. The default is no. The strict setting applies to wpa and wpa2 encryption only.

The BelAir20E unit combines the password phrase with your SSID to create the key.Note: Some configuration commands take longer than others to be applied to a radio module. For example, it can take up to 40 seconds per SSID for a WPA PSK configuration to be applied to radio. The delay varies depending on the amount of computing resources required to implement the configuration.Wireless Client Blacklist/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/add client blacklist <mac-addr>/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/del client blacklist <mac-addr>These commands let you add and remove a MAC address from a client blacklist. If a wireless client’s MAC address matches an entry on the blacklist, the client cannot associate with the AP. The client blacklist can contain up to 16 entries.

The list can contain up to 16 clients per SSID. Clients are identified by the MAC address of their network card. If you have multiple BelAir20E units in your network, you need to create this list for every AP. You should only use an ACL as an extra security measure if:• you cannot or prefer not to set up a RADIUS server• your network provides access to network clients which do not support RADIUS authenticationIn both cases, it is recommended that you enable pre-shared key encryption (WEP, WPA, WPA2 or WPA2mixed).
BelAir20E User Guide Wi-Fi AP SecurityOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 110 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardThe enabled setting for the set acl command means that only the wireless clients on the ACL can access the network. All other clients are denied access. The disabled setting means that all wireless clients can access the network. See also “AP Secure Port Mode” on page 112. Typically, you enable ACL mode only after you have added all the desired MAC addresses to the control list.CAUTION! When used with multiple SSIDs, this method affects wireless clients attempting to associate with any of the SSIDs.Use the show ssid table command to determine <ssid_index>.Controlling Inter-client CommunicationIf wireless bridging is enabled for an SSID, then by default wireless clients associated to an AP and using that SSID can communicate to one another (assuming they are able to determine the IP addresses of their peer wireless clients).For security reasons in a public network environment, it may be desirable to block inter-client communications.CAUTION! Provisioning inter-client communication can affect the wireless clients associated with all the SSIDs of that BelAir20E unit.The goal is to prevent communications between associated wireless clients and still allow them to connect to the Internet. To do this, use one of the following methods.Manual Provisioning of Gateway MAC AddressesThe following method offers the precise control of SSID communications:1 Determine the MAC address of the Internet gateway(s) or router(s) in your network.2 Disable wireless bridging for each AP in your network.3 Disable inter-AP wireless client communications:a Add the previously determined gateway MAC address or addresses to the secure MAC white list. This allows wireless clients to communicate with the Internet. The secure MAC white list typically contains the MAC address of the gateway interfaces.b If the DHCP server for your network is on a different machine than the gateway, add the MAC address of the DHCP server machine to the secure MAC white list.c Enable secure port mode for each of the APs in your network.
BelAir20E User Guide Wi-Fi AP SecurityOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 111 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardAutomatic Discovery of Gateway MAC AddressesThe following method automates MAC address provisioning:1 Disable wireless bridging for each AP in your network.2 Disable inter-AP wireless client communications:a Enable the auto-secure gateway feature for each of the APs in your network.b Enable secure port mode for each of the APs in your network.Determining the MAC Address of the Internet gatewayThis step is only required if you want to manually provision the MAC addresses of the Internet gateway(s) or router(s) in your network.Determining the MAC address of your Internet gateway(s) depends on the type of equipment you are using. Refer to your equipment’s User Manual for the specific details.You will need the MAC address of your gateways later to provision the secure MAC white list of the APs configured in secure port mode.Disabling or Enabling AP Wireless Bridging/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set ssid <ssid_index> wireless-bridge                                             {enabled|disabled}Use the show ssid table command to determine <ssid_index>.Disabling wireless bridging for an AP prevents wireless clients associated to that particular AP from communicating with one another.It does not prevent a wireless client associated with one AP (AP “A”) from communicating with a wireless client associated with another AP (AP “B”). The secure port mode prevents this. See “AP Secure Port Mode” on page 112.By default, wireless bridging is enabled.Disabling Inter-AP Wireless Client CommunicationDisabling inter-AP wireless client communications involves setting up a secure MAC white list and enabling secure port mode for each AP.Secure MAC White List /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/add secure-mac-address <mac-address-string>                              [secure-mac-mask <mac-mask-string>]                              [all | untagged | <vlan-id>]/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/del secure-mac-address <mac-address-string>                              [all | untagged | <vlan-id>]Use these commands only if you want to manually provision the MAC addresses of the Internet gateway(s) or router(s) in your network.
BelAir20E User Guide Wi-Fi AP SecurityOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 112 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardThese commands add and remove a MAC address from the secure MAC white list. The MAC address can optionally be qualified with a mask and a traffic descriptor as follows:• The mask is specified with the secure-mac-mask option. Use ff to indicate bits to accept. Use 00 to indicate bits to ignore. For example, a MAC address of 00:0d:67:0c:21:90 with a mask of ff:ff:ff:00:00:00 specifies all MAC addresses beginning with 00:0d:67. You can also customize the mask to exactly suit your needs by using values other than ff or 00.• The traffic descriptor can be one of all, untagged or a VLAN ID. Use a VLAN ID to specify the traffic of a particular VLAN. Use untagged to specify only untagged traffic. Use all to specify all traffic.When configured in secure port mode, the AP forwards to the associated wireless clients only those Layer 2 (Ethernet) frames for which the source MAC address and VLAN matches an entry its white list. The white list can contain up to 32 entries. If a VLAN is not specified, it is assumed to have a value of zero.In effect, while in this mode the AP acts as a firewall for all Layer 2 frames arriving from inside the network for the wireless clients. The secure MAC white list should only contain the MAC addresses of the gateway interfaces. Thus, wireless clients associated to other APs in the network are prevented from communicating with locally associated clients.Note 1: The secure MAC white list is different from the list described in “Wireless Client Access Control List” on page 109. In a client ACL, only the listed MAC addresses are allowed to associate with an AP. The secure MAC white list controls data forwarding to the wireless clients from remote entities in the network.Note 2: If the gateway and DHCP servers on your networks are on different machines, you must put the MAC addresses of both machines on the secure MAC white list.The content of the secure MAC white list takes effect only when the AP secure port mode is enabled.AP Secure Port Mode /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set ssid <ssid_index> secure-port                                             {enabled|disabled}Use the show ssid table command to determine <ssid_index>.To prevent wireless clients associated with different APs from communicating with each other, you must enable the secure port mode on each of the APs in your network.
BelAir20E User Guide Wi-Fi AP SecurityOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 113 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardBy default, the secure port mode is disabled.Note: Typically, you provision the secure MAC white list before enabling the secure port mode. This ensures that wireless clients that are already associated do not lose their connection to the Internet.Auto-secure Gateway /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set ssid <ssid_index>                           auto-secure-gateway {enabled|disabled}Use this command only if you want to automatically discover the MAC addresses of the Internet gateway(s) or router(s) in your network. To use this command, you must set the ROUTER_IP option (DHCP option 3) on the DHCP server in your network.Use the show ssid table command to determine <ssid_index>.This command starts the process of detecting the MAC addresses of the gateway for each VLAN in the system. Once it determines the MAC address, it adds it to the secure MAC white list. This feature also continuously monitors for changes in the gateway's MAC address updates the secure MAC white list accordingly.By default, the auto-secure gateway functionality mode is disabled.Note: If you are automatically discovering the MAC addresses of your network gateways, then you typically enable auto-secure gateway before enabling the secure port mode. This ensures that wireless clients that are already associated do not lose their connection to the Internet.Protecting against Denial of Service AttacksThe BelAir20E provides protection against the following types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks:• deauthentication DoS, where deauthentication packets are maliciously sent to the BelAir platform causing it to terminate wireless sessionsThe BelAir20E also automatically generates alarms when it detects the following conditions:• If the BelAir20E detects more than 600 DHCP requests within 30 seconds, it raises a DHCP_STARVATION alarm.• If the BelAir20E detects a client with a MAC address that matches any of the addresses in the secure MAC white list, it raises a SECURE_MAC_SPOOF alarm.
BelAir20E User Guide Wi-Fi AP SecurityOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 114 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardYou can clear these alarms with the following command:/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/clear alarm {secure-mac-spoof |                                      dhcp-starvation |                                     deauth-dos}Deauthentication DoS /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set deauth dos defense {enabled|disabled}When a deauthentication packet arrives and this feature is enabled, the BelAir platform waits 5 to 10 seconds before it terminates the wireless session. If the wireless client sends another data packet during that interval, then the previous deauthentication packet is deemed false and ignored. If the BelAir platform does not receive any data packets during the interval, then the session is terminated.Use the /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/show statistics command to display the number of potential attacks it has detected since you enabled the feature.

One is forwarding while the other is listening.Setting a Link RSSI Threshold/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set backhaul mesh-min-rssi <rssi_value>This command lets you set a signal strength threshold for creating mesh links. If a radio signal from another node is weaker than the specified threshold, then no link is created to that other node, except if there is no other link to either node at each end of the link. In that case, the link is still created even if the radio signal is weaker than the specified threshold.This command applies only when a node is forming MP-to-MP links with other nodes. Existing links are not affected by this command.The rssi_value parameter is specified in as a negative number in dBm. The default value is -100 dBm. Use the show config backhaul command to display the current value.Example/interface/wifi-1-1# set backhaul mesh-min-rssi -70The previous command sets the link RSSI threshold to -70 dBm.

To blacklist a link, you need to log in to both ends of the link and put the radio of other node on the local blacklist. For example, to prevent the use of a link between node A and B, you need to:1 Log in to node A and add to its blacklist the MAC address of node B radio.2 Log in to node B and add to its blacklist the MAC address of node A radio.The MAC addresses of the node radios can be determined with the show backhaul status command.Typically, these commands are used to disable an unstable link. This behavior may occur when either radio at each end of the link is operating at the limit of its sensitivity. As well, these commands can be used to disable a particular link if the RF plan predicts low RSSI values for it.Mesh Auto-connections BelAir MP-to-MP meshes have the ability to detect when their egress node loses the ability to route traffic out of the mesh. When such a situation exists, each radio that is part of the affected mesh begins trying to find an alternate way of routing its traffic out of the mesh.If the affected radio is part of a multi-radio platform, such as the BelAir100N, and the other radios are also part of a mesh, then it attempts to route its traffic through the other radios of its own platform.If it cannot do so, then it begins scanning other channels to see if it can establish a link to another radio that is part of a neighboring mesh with an active egress node.The affected radios stagger their attempts to “hunt” for a neighboring mesh to avoid overloading the neighboring radios and to allow time for their own egress node to re-establishing itself.A link to a neighboring mesh only occurs when:• The neighboring mesh has an active egress node.• The first six bytes of the neighboring mesh identifier matches the local mesh identifier.If there are several candidate meshes to connect to, then the link is made to the mesh that:
BelAir20E User Guide Wi-Fi Backhaul Link ConfigurationOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 121 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standard• matches the longest possible mesh identifier string• has the better signal level• has the minimum hop count to the egress nodeOnce a new link is established, the radio does not automatically revert back to the old mesh, even if the old mesh’s egress node regains its ability to route traffic outside of the mesh. To do so, you must manually use one of the provided CLI commands.Mesh auto-connect uses RSTP to establish the new mesh topology. Disabling RSTP disables this functionality.See also:•“Managing Mesh Auto-connections” on page 121•“Setting the Network Egress Point” on page 54•“Mesh Auto-connection Example” on page 224Managing Mesh Auto-connections/services/auto-conn/set admin-state {enabled|disabled}/services/auto-conn/revert alternate-mesh/services/auto-conn/show alternate-mesh/services/auto-conn/show egress-node-list/services/auto-conn/show config/services/auto-conn/show statusThese commands allow you to control mesh auto-connection capabilities.Use the set admin-state command to enable or disable this capability. By default mesh auto-connections are enabled. Use the revert alternate-mesh command to manually force a link to a neighboring mesh back to the original mesh.Use the show alternate-mesh command to display the node's links to a neighboring mesh when the node's egress is lost.Use the show egress-node-list command to display the list of egress nodes for the current mesh.Use the show config command to display the current auto-connection configuration.Use the show status command to display whether the auto-connection capability is enabled or disabled.Refer to “Mesh Auto-connection Example” on page 224.

The default setting is disable.Egress protection provides extra redundancy for the BelAir20E’s egress point. The egress point is the point where the BelAir20E’s access traffic leaves the BelAir wireless network. This may be through an Ethernet connection, L2TP tunnel end-point, or a cable modem.If the egress point fails and egress protection is enabled, the BelAir20E uses a Wi-Fi backhaul link to connect to another BelAir node so that traffic can leave the BelAir wireless network through that node’s egress point. The BelAir20E selects the best node to use based on several factors including signal strength and the number of hops to the egress point.Egress protection is revertive. If the original egress point becomes operational again, the access data is redirected back to original egress point.To use egress protection, make sure of the following: • The BelAir20E and it surrounding nodes are equipped with appropriate hardware to provide the Wi-Fi backhaul link.• The channel number, privacy settings and link identifier are the same for all surrounding nodes.• The backhaul protection-admin-state option for the radios has been enabled. • The tunnel engine for the BelAir20E is enabled, if the egress point is an L2TP tunnel end point.

Refer to Figure 6.Figure 6: Mobile Backhaul Links Connecting Vehicle Cameras to Roadside NetworkA BelAir20E with mobile backhaul mesh links can support uninterrupted high-performance broadband connectivity for critical applications, including voice and video, as the vehicle moves throughout the wireless mesh at speeds up to 150 mph (240 kph).In such a deployment, the mobile node, mounted on a vehicle, acts as a subscriber station to a stationary base station node. All mobile subscriber stations and their stationary base stations use the same wireless channel, mobile link identifier and privacy settings.Each mobile subscriber station can have up to three mobile links with three different stationary base station nodes. Mobile links can be either listening or forwarding. Only one of the three mobile links from the subscriber station can be forwarding at a particular moment to a particular stationary base station node. Traffic from the forwarding link is propagated to the rest of the network. The mobile subscriber station constantly determines the relative link quality of all its links based on several factors, including signal strength, aging and failure rates.Roadside NetworkMobile Backhaul Mesh Link

In such applications. the 5.8 GHz radio must operate with a MIMO setting of 1x1 while the 2.4 GHz access radio must operate with a MIMO setting of 2x2. Use this command to adjust the MIMO setting of each radio interface as required. The supported modes vary depending on the type of radios in your unit, as follows:• HTM and DRUE radios support only 1x1, 2x2 and 3x3 modes• HTME radios support only 1x1 and 2x2 modes• DRU radios support only 1x1, 1x2, 2x2 and 2x3 modesExample/interface/wifi-1-1# set mimo-mode 1x1/interface/wifi-1-2# set mimo-mode 2x2The previous commands apply to a BelAir20M where interface wifi-1-1 is for a 5.8 GHz radio while interface wifi-1-2 is for a 2.4 GHz access radio.Configuring and Enabling Mobile Backhaul Mesh Links/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set backhaul mobile     ([identifier <link-id>] [role {bs|ss}]     [privacy {{enabled key <pre_shared_key>}|disabled}]     [admin-state {enable|disable}])This command configures the mobile backhaul link identifier, the role of the node and backhaul privacy. It also lets you enable or disable mobile backhaul mesh functionality. The default setting is disable.The mobile backhaul link identifier identifies all members of a particular mobile backhaul mesh. The <link_id> parameter is case sensitive and can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters. A suitable link identifier is short phrase unique to the mobile backhaul mesh.When configuring a particular mobile backhaul mesh, you must configure all members to have:• the same channel. Refer to “Operating Channel” on page 74 for the appropriate command• the same mobile link identifier• the same privacy settings

BelAir20E User Guide Mobile Backhaul Point-to-point LinksOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 127 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardMobile Backhaul Point-to-point LinksThis feature extends the BelAir Networks fixed wireless infrastructure onto low-speed vehicles such as ships travelling near a sea port. A BelAir node with mobile backhaul point-to-point links provides redundant high-performance broadband connectivity.In such a deployment, the mobile node mounted on a ship acts as a subscriber station to a stationary base station node mounted on shore. A subscriber station searches for base station links on a pre-defined set of channels. It creates up to two links, a primary link and a secondary link, when it finds a base station advertising available links with an appropriate mobile link identifier and privacy settings. Once a primary link and a secondary link are created, one is used for active communications while the other acts as a standby. If the signal strength of the active link falls below a threshold, then the standby becomes the primary link and the subscriber station searches for a new secondary link.If performance degrades on the active and standby links, the subscriber station searches for new base station links with better signal strength.In addition to providing mobile links, a base station node can also provide links to other stationary base stations. Mobile link pairs can only be used by one subscriber station. The links of a base station are configured to operate on one channel only.The user defines a channel list that determines the channels that the subscriber station uses to scan for base station nodes.Subscriber stations support partial matches to the mobile link identifier. For example, a subscriber station scanning for a mobile identifier of mobilityTest accepts a base station link advertising a mobile link identifier of mobilityTestBsLink28. The set home-check CLI command forces a subscriber station to connect to specific base station links. When home check is enabled, the subscriber station accepts only base station links that advertise a mobile link identifier that is exactly the same as the subscriber station’s home-check identifier.If the mobile backhaul units (subscriber stations and their stationary base stations) are part of a larger network of BelAir equipment, make sure the
BelAir20E User Guide Mobile Backhaul Point-to-point LinksOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 128 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standardmobile link identifiers and mobile channels are not used elsewhere in the network. If a neighboring stationary subscriber station uses a link identifier and channel similar to a mobile subscriber station, then it can interfere with the creation of links between the mobile backhaul units.With mobile backhaul point-to-point links, the base station is passive. The subscriber station determines whether or not to connect or disconnect from a base station. If a connection is lost, then the subscriber station starts its scanning process.Scanning Process If a subscriber station scans for available links when either member of its mobile link pair is disconnected from a base station. It scans all configured channels looking for available base station links. The subscriber station selects the link with a matching mobile link identifier and the best signal strength.If another link in the subscriber station is using a channel in the configured channel list, then this channel is skipped by the scanning process. Once connected, the subscriber station does not scan again until the connection is lost.Sample Subscriber Station Configuration1 Configure the topology and privacy settings, and enable each Wi-Fi interface./interface/wifi-2-1# set backhaul link topology p2p privacy disabled/interface/wifi-2-1# set backhaul admin-state enabled2 Disable RSTP dynamic cost for each backhaul link.

However, in some mobile applications, in may be desirable to have all radios use a single channel. Such an application requires that all radios use directional antennas and are correctly positioned to avoid radio interference.This command allows you to configure such an application, where all radios use a single channel. This command must be invoked on each node in the mesh.The <chan_no> parameter allows you to specify which channel to use.The <link_id> parameter is case sensitive and can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters. BelAir Networks recommends that the link identifier describes the link; that is, the nodes it connects.The privacy setting determines whether AES privacy is used or not.

BelAir20E User Guide Operating in High Capacity and Interference EnvironmentsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 138 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardOperating in High Capacity and Interference EnvironmentsHigh Capacity and Interference (HCI) environments usually have the following characteristics:• high number of wireless clients in a relatively small geographic area• wireless traffic is restricted to relatively few wireless APs• sudden surges of demand for connectivity• building structure or geometry may restrict connectivityStadiums and other sports venues are typical examples. In such locations when a sports event occurs, several thousand wireless clients can suddenly request connectivity to a network of Wi-Fi Access Points.The BelAir20E provides several features that you can adjust to optimize performance in such an environment. These include:•Modulation Rate Control, described on page 139•VLAN based QOS, described on page 139•Traffic Priority Based on Modulation Rate, described on page 140•No SSID on Egress Down, described on page 140•Ethernet Port Statistics, described on page 140•Access Receive and Transmit Error Statistics with SNMP Support, described on page 141•Noise Floor Support, described on page 141•Access Packet RSSI Filter, described on page 141•Effective Mesh Path Selection, described on page 141•Blacklist SNMP Support, described on page 141•Client Association Records, described on page 142•CTS-to-Self Control, described on page 142•DHCP to Attached Clients Only, described on page 142•ARP to Attached Clients Only, described on page 142•Upstream Broadcast Filter, described on page 142

This increases network efficiency in HCI environments through the following effects:• Collisions cause retransmissions that usually occur at a reduced modulation rate.  Ongoing collisions reduce the starting modulation rate for packets. Use this feature to eliminate lower modulation rates and put a lower bound on this effect.• Eliminating lower modulation rates also eliminates distant clients (low RSSI) and clients in high noise areas (low SNR).For details, see “AP Custom Rates” on page 81.VLAN based QOSThis feature allows the operator to control the relative priority of traffic on a per-VLAN basis.By mapping certain VLANs onto higher priorities in HCI environments, the traffic on those VLANs can obtain preferential access to the airwaves at the expense of other traffic which is forced to wait.The usefulness of this feature is limited if the overlap of the BelAir APs is significant. It is most effective when overlap is small and the interference comes from third-party APs.The relevant commands are:•/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set ssid <ssid> service-set-identifier <ssid-name> broadcast vlan <vlan-id>, described in detail in “Configuring SSIDs” on page 91.•/qos/set vlan-to-queue-mapping <vlan-id> <queue-id>, described in detail in “Prioritizing Traffic using VLAN IDs” on page 178.
BelAir20E User Guide Operating in High Capacity and Interference EnvironmentsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 140 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardTraffic  P r io r ity Based on Modulation RateA Wi-Fi AP sorts traffic according to priority and transmits it by priority in order of arrival. Different QOS schedulers (EDCA, LSPQ, SPQ) result in different performance for the various priorities. This feature applies a priority based on modulation rate on top of the QOS priority. It tries to give clients equal amounts of air-time instead of equal numbers of packets. The result in HCI environments is that more packets are sent to clients who are using higher modulation rates, increasing the effective bandwidth.For details, see “Rate Aware Fairness” on page 78. No SSID on Egress DownWhen this feature is enabled, all SSIDs on a radio can be modified with a text string, such as outOfService, when a node loses its egress connection. In HCI environments, this feature prevents traffic from being uselessly directed to a node which can not successfully forward it.This feature can be enabled or disabled on per radio basis. The text string can be configured on a per-SSID basis.The relevant commands are:•/interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set ap-oos-broadcast {enabled|disabled} [option {replace|prepend}] and /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set ssid <ssid-number> ap-oos-identifier <oos_string> described in detail in “Out-of-service Advertising” on page 95.•/system/set system-egress-point {yes {direct|indirect gateway-ip <ip_addr>}|no} described in detail in “Setting the Network Egress Point” on page 54.Ethernet Port StatisticsEthernet port statistics are available for the BelAir200, BelAir100, BelAir100C and BelAir100T. In HCI environments, these statistics measure the traffic passing through the node if its Ethernet port is connected to an external network.The relevant command is /interface/eth-1-1/show statistics, described in detail in the Troubleshooting Guide. The output includes:• received octets, unicast packets, multicast packets, broadcast packets and discarded packets• transmitted octets, unicast packets, multicast packets and broadcast packets
BelAir20E User Guide Operating in High Capacity and Interference EnvironmentsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 141 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardAccess Receive and Transmit Error Statistics with SNMP SupportBelAir radios provide extensive statistics for insight into network behavior and to guide network optimization.The relevant commands are:• /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/show statistics• /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/show pm• /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/show clientThese commands are described in detail in the Troubleshooting Guide.Noise Floor SupportIn HCI environments, accurate noise floor data is critical for channel planning and to interpret performance statistics. Noise floor reporting is available through SNMP for all radios:• For newer radios, such as the ERMv5, instantaneous and average noise floors are reported.• For older radios, such as the ARMv3, instantaneous and average noise floors are reported but the value is the same for both.• SNMP reports the average noise floor value.You can also use the command /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/show rf-survey, described in detail in the Troubleshooting Guide, to show the instantaneous noise floor.Access Packet RSSI FilterThis feature blocks clients from associating if their RSSI is below a threshold value. This prevents clients that would be forced to use a low modulation rate from associating.  In an HCI environment, contention is already high so it is preferable to exclude clients that make inefficient use of air-time.Effective Mesh Path SelectionHigher modulation rates are strongly preferred in HCI environments. BelAir Networks’ mesh path selection software favors paths with good RSSI, and therefore higher modulation rates, even at the cost of a few more hops. Field testing has shown increasing the number of hops may increase airtime slightly, but using a path with poor RSSI can increase the airtime significantly as the modulation rate decreases with poor RSSI.Blacklist SNMP SupportBelAir nodes support adding and deleting backhaul blacklist members through SNMP. This allows operators using BelView Network Management System

This causes some associations to be missed by the polling cycle of the NMS.To increase the measurability of the network, BelAir nodes maintain a circular buffer containing information, such as client MAC and IP address, RSSI, and connection duration, about current and recently associated clients. These client records can be used to assist the NMS.CTS-to-Self ControlNormally, an 802.11g AP uses CTS-to-self to interact with 802.11b APs. The transmitted packet is small, but in HCI environments the accumulated effect is a substantial performance penalty. This feature disables 802.11b protection for the radio, maximizing the throughput for wireless clients that operate in the 2.4 GHz range. This feature improves performance if there are only a few 802.11b clients present and they are not generating large amounts of traffic. If not, the 802.11b clients may generate substantial numbers of collisions and actually impair traffic.For details, see “802.11b Protection” on page 98. DHCP to Attached Clients OnlyThis feature prevents the radio from forwarding DHCP responses for MAC addresses that are not used by an associated client, thus reducing the number of transmitted packets and improving bandwidth use. This feature is always enabled. ARP to Attached Clients OnlyThis feature prevents the radio from forwarding ARP requests for IP addresses that are not used by an associated client, thus reducing the number of transmitted packets and improving bandwidth use.For details, see “ARP Filtering” on page 97. Upstream Broadcast FilterWhen enabled, this feature limits the types of multicast and broadcast packets passed through the AP:• In the upstream direction (from the client), only ARP requests, DHCP requests and DHCP discover messages are allowed.
BelAir20E User Guide Operating in High Capacity and Interference EnvironmentsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 143 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standard• In the downstream direction (to the client), only ARP response, DHCP offer, DHCP ACK, and DHCP NAK are allowed.In HCI environments, this feature reduces the overall traffic load by reducing broadcast flooding throughout the network.For details, see “Filtering Broadcast and Multicast Packets” on page 96.Secure Port Mode Secure port mode forces all client communications to be directed toward a specified MAC address or group of MAC addresses.  It also prevents a client claiming to be one of these MAC addresses from associating.In HCI environments, this feature forces all traffic to flow to or from the network gateway. This can be used to allow traffic policy enforcement. It prevents direct inter-client communication that could load down the network.For details, see “Controlling Inter-client Communication” on page 110,Wireless Bridging The wireless bridging feature allows traffic to be forwarded directly from one client to another within the AP.  In HCI environments, it should be disabled. As with secure port mode, this feature controls whether all traffic flows to the network gateway and can be used to allow traffic policy enforcement. It prevents client-to-client direct communication that could load down the network.For details, see “Controlling Inter-client Communication” on page 110,Client Load BalancingBelAir nodes allow you to configure the maximum number of associated clients per radio. If the number of associated clients exceeds the configured value, new clients are not allowed to connect. In HCI environments, limiting the number of associated clients:• reduces the number of collisions. (Each client attempts to transmit after a random back-off. With many clients the probability of collision is greatly increased.)• limits the total traffic offered• forces traffic to be distributed over different APs operating on different channelsFor details, see “Wireless Client Load Balancing” on page 85.
BelAir20E User Guide Operating in High Capacity and Interference EnvironmentsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 144 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardClient Authentication HistoryThis feature lets the operator display the details of the association and authentication process of the clients connected to the AP. In HCI environments, it can be used to troubleshoot client issues and determine how much success clients are having when attempting to access and use the network.The relevant command is /interface/wifi-<m>-<n>/show authentication history [mac <mac-address>], described in detail in the Troubleshooting Guide. Automatic Mesh ConnectThis feature allows BelAir APs to automatically reconnect to a network if they lose their egress connection. A cluster of meshed nodes may lose their egress connection if the ethernet connection to the exterior network fails or if a node fails. In this case, a member of the cluster looks for an alternate mesh to join and reconnect the isolated cluster.In HCI environments, this feature can be used for rapid deployment of a network. The APs in a network can be grouped by shared backhaul link identifier into a cluster. Multiple clusters can be deployed to control traffic flows and optimize backhaul performance.As soon as one AP in each cluster has an egress path, the whole cluster has egress. In the event that an egress fails, a cluster can self-repair by reconnecting to one of the other mesh clusters.Tr a f f i c  Te s t  To o l This tool provides an internal mechanism to measure the available traffic capacity of the network. The tool reports the throughput on a hop-by-hop basis from the node under test to the destination IP address (another node in the network).In HCI environments, this tool can be used to test the network deployment during the commissioning phase. It can be used to determine the theoretical capacity of the network and identify poorly performing links.The relevant command is:/diagnostics/test link IP <end point IP address>                           rate <traffic rate>                         [update_interval <report interval>]                         [duration <test duration>]                        [dir {tx|rx|both}]The command is described in detail in the Troubleshooting Guide.
BelAir20E User Guide DHCP Relay SettingsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 145 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardDHCP Relay SettingsThis chapter describes how to configure your unit’s DHCP Relay agent settings. You can configure up to five profiles for the DHCP Relay agent on your BelAir20E. Each profile specifies a subnet interface, which can be either the node’s system interface or a VLAN. The DHCP server assigns an IP address to the client according to the subnet of this interface.Each profile also contains the IP addresses for up to three DHCP servers. When a profile is activated, the DHCP agent forwards a DHCP request to all the listed servers. The DHCP client receives packets from the first server to respond to the request.Profiles offer an easy way of configuring different DHCP servers for each subnet interface.Your BelAir20E can also add BelAir Networks specific information to the DHCP packets sent to the wireless client.Finally, you can create a list of valid IP address subnets to filter out unwanted directed and broadcast DHCP packets from your wireless network.The following topics are covered in this chapter:•“Displaying the DHCP Relay Configuration” on page 145•“Modifying DHCP Relay Parameters” on page 146•“Interface Administrative State” on page 147•“Assigning SSID Traffic to Use DHCP Relay” on page 147•“DHCP Address Filtering” on page 147See also “Providing Vendor Specific Information” on page 93.Displaying the DHCP Relay Configuration/protocol/dhcp/show config [{relay {all|<relay-idx>}} |                          {dhcp-allowed-subnet {all|<index 1-32>}}]The show config command displays DHCP Relay configuration:•Use show config to display information for all DHCP Relay profiles and all configured DHCP allowed subnet entries.

It configures the IP addresses of the DHCP servers to which the Relay Agent needs to forward the packets from the client. You must specify at least one DHCP server IP address and the type of interface; either system or a VLAN. The VLAN must be a valid VLAN management interface.The vlan_id parameter specifies that traffic be directed to the specified Virtual LAN (VLAN). The VLAN ID is an integer from 1 to 2814.The del relay command removes only one IP address from each profile. To completely clear a profile, you must use the del relay command up to three times.Before clearing the profile, you must first make sure that no SSID is using that profile.

Your list can contain up to 32 members. To remove an entry from the list, set the IP address and the mask to 0.0.0.0.Then, use the /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/add command to assign a member of that list to an SSID. The ssid_index parameter must be a valid SSID index. Use the /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/add command repeatedly to add more than one entry to an SSID. Each SSID can have up to 32 entries. Entries for different SSIDs can overlap.

The /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/set command allows you to enable or disable DHCP address filtering on individual SSIDs.Use the /interface/wifi-<n>-<m>/show ssid (ssid_index> config command to display whether DHCP address filtering is enabled for the SSID and the allowed subnets for the SSID.
BelAir20E User Guide Network Address TranslationOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 149 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardNetwork Address TranslationNetwork Address Translation (NAT) allows the BelAir20E to modify network address information in packet headers to remap a given address space into another. This technique can hide several private network IP addresses behind a single IP address in another public address space. The BelAir20E implements NAT IP masquerading, where the BelAir20E acts as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses in the private network starting from a specified base IP address. NAT applies only to traffic entering and leaving the BelAir20E through its Ethernet interface.The BelAir20E lets you configure up to eight NAT address scopes. For each scope, you can associate different VLAN traffic, a different base IP address and different DHCP lease settings.You can use NAT with or without Universal Access Method (UAM) to provide user authentication, client authentication and accounting information. For details on configuring and enabling UAM, see “Universal Access Method” on page 154. If you use NAT with UAM, ensure that the same VLANs are configured in both NAT scopes and UAM scopes.The BelAir20E can provide both NAT and Layer 2 tunnels. User traffic separation is based on VLANs. If you use both NAT and Layer 2 tunnels, make sure that your VLANs are mapped to either an NAT scope or a Layer 2 tunnel, but not both. Refer to “Using Layer 2 Tunnels” on page 163 for a description of Layer 2 tunnels.The following tasks can be done:•“Displaying the Operational Status” on page 150•“Displaying the Current DHCP Lease Status” on page 150•“Displaying the DHCP Lease History” on page 150•“Configuring Network Address Translation” on page 151•“Preventing Node Management from within the Scope” on page 151•“Enabling or Disabling Individual Scopes” on page 152•“Changing NAT Admin State” on page 152•“Managing Nodes in a NAT Cluster” on page 152

The untagged setting specifies that the scope applies only to untagged traffic. The vlan <VLAN ID> settings specifies that the scope applies only to traffic with that VLAN ID. VLAN IDs cannot be shared across different scopes. The default setting is untagged. Refer to “Layer 2 Network Configuration” on page 183 for more information on VLAN configuration. The based-ip setting lets you specify the base IP address for the scope. Use xx.xx.xx.0 as the format. Once specified, the BelAir20E IP address becomes xx.xx.xx.1 and it begins to allocate addressed from xx.xx.xx.2 to xx.xx.xx.254.The lease-time setting lets you specify the maximum DHCP lease time in minutes for IP addresses supplied by NAT. The default is 60 minutes. Other DHCP server settings are based on those specified in “Configuring Dynamic IP Addressing” on page 45.The optional num-entries setting lets you specify the maximum number of IP addresses that can be allocated to clients in this scope. Values range from 1 to 253. The default value is 253.

See “Activating a Software Load” on page 201 for details.Managing Nodes in a NAT ClusterThis section describes functions that you can use to manage nodes that are part of a NAT cluster. In a NAT cluster, one BelAir20E serves as an egress point to several other BelAir nodes. The egress BelAir20E uses NAT to provide IP addresses to the BelAir nodes that are cluster members. In such a configuration, the cluster members are normally hidden from network management behind the egress BelAir20E. To help manage the cluster members, you can use the egress BelAir20E functions described in the following sections:•“Mac Address to IP Address Mapping” on page 152•“Port Forwarding” on page 152Mac Address to IP Address Mapping/protocol/nat/add scope <index (1-8)>                               mac-static <MAC_addr> ip <IP_addr)/protocol/nat/del scope <index (1-8)>                               mac-static <MAC_addr> ip <IP_addr)These commands let you specify which IP address to provide to specific cluster members based on their MAC address.Port Forwarding /protocol/nat/add port-fwd protocol {tcp | udp} port <number>                          dest-ip <IP_addr> dest-port <number>/protocol/nat/del port-fwd protocol {tcp | udp} port <number>                          dest-ip <IP_addr> dest-port <number>These commands let you create a port forwarding table for TCP or UDP traffic.

Y is the public IP address of egress node.The port forwarding table can contain up to 32 entries.
BelAir20E User Guide Universal Access MethodOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 154 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardUniversal Access MethodThe Universal Access Method (UAM) is key element of BelAir’s Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) module. UAM is a simple authentication method where a user needs only a Web browser. When a user requests a URL, the request is checked against a series of white lists containing hosts, MAC addresses and protocols. The user’s request is granted if any of the following conditions are met:• The requested URL or its equivalent IP address is on the host white list.• The MAC address of the user’s client is on the MAC white list.• The user’s request uses DHCP, DNS, ARP or any protocol you put on the protocol white list with the add scope <n> protocol-white-list command.Otherwise, the user is redirected to a Web server that displays a page requesting credentials. The supplied credentials are then sent to a RADIUS authentication server. Once authenticated, the user is redirected to the URL they originally requested. The user can terminate their authenticated session by using functions provided by the Web server (such as a logout button) or by entering the http://1.1.1.1 URL.Note: UAM requires the use of a DNS server to resolve supplied URLs to IP addresses.Finally, through correct provisioning of the RADIUS server, the BelAir20E’s implementation of UAM also allows you to enforce client access policies:• It can perform client MAC address authentication when a client associates to the AP, even before the user supplies a URL.• It can enforce policies based on the attributes listed in Table 12.

The host white list and the MAC address white list can have up to 10 entries. The protocol white list can be empty or contain ICMP only.In addition to the entries you control with these add and del commands, the AP has an internal white list that contains the DHCP, DNS and ARP protocols, and the URLs for the authentication server and the splash page (if specified).Example/services/uam# add scope 1 host-white-list www.mysite.comAssociating VLAN Traffic to a Scope/services/uam/add scope <index (1-8)> vlan {<vlan-list>|untag}/services/uam/del scope <index (1-8)> vlan {<vlan-list>|untag}These commands let you associate different VLAN traffic with different UAM scopes.

When this feature is enabled, the AP determines the client’s MAC address when the client attempts to associate with AP. The AP then sends the MAC address to the RADIUS server for authentication. If the server authenticates the MAC address, then the user has full access to the Internet when the association completes. If the RADIUS server does not authenticate the MAC address, then the user must provide credentials through the typical UAM mechanism (Web server, RADIUS server, white lists) before they can access the Internet. The default setting is enabled.The passwd parameter provides an alternate password to log into the RADIUS server.
BelAir20E User Guide Universal Access MethodOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 161 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardThe success-redir parameter allows you to control the behavior of the AP if the RADIUS server authenticates the user and responds with a Redirection-URL as part of the WISPr Vendor Specific Attribute:• If success-redir is enabled and the RADIUS server provides a Redirection-URL, the client is redirected to the URL the first time it associates to the AP. Afterwards, the user has full access to the Internet. • If success-redir is disabled and the RADIUS server provides a Redirection-URL, then the AP ignores the provided URL.By default, the success-redir parameter is disabled.The reject-suspend parameter allows you to control the behavior of the AP if the RADIUS server does not authenticate the user. The RADIUS server response message can include a Redirect-Suspend-Time parameter as part of the WISPr Vendor Specific Attribute:• If reject-suspend is enabled and the RADIUS server does not authenticate the user, then the user’s session is suspended for the time period specified by the Redirect-Suspend-Time parameter from the RADIUS server.• If reject-suspend is disabled and the RADIUS server provides a Redirect-Suspend-Time parameter, then the AP ignores the provided RADIUS parameter.By default, the reject-suspend parameter is enabled with a default suspend time of 1 minute.Collecting Accounting Information/services/uam/set scope <index (1-8)>                            accounting-state {enabled|disabled}This command lets you enable or disable the collection of accounting information for individual UAM scopes. The default setting is enabled.The accounting request packet is sent to the RADIUS server using the Acct-Interim-Interval attribute obtained from the client authentication response. If the RADIUS server does not provide an accounting interval, the default value of 10 minutes is used.

BelAir20E User Guide Using Layer 2 TunnelsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 163 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardUsing Layer 2 TunnelsLayer 2 tunnels use the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), version 2, to provide the following benefits:• provide a bi-directional communication path between the BelAir20E and a central router. The path is unaffected by the size, topology and complexity of the Layer 2 and Layer 3 access network between them.• ensure efficient handling of mobile client MAC addresses, especially for customers using DOCSIS technology in their access networkFigure 7 shows how wireless mobility is implemented with L2TP. When a wireless client transmits an 802.11 frame, the BelAir AP converts it to an Ethernet frame with VLAN information, encapsulates it within an IP packet and then sends the packet to a Tunnel End Point (TEP). The TEP is usually part of a network central router. The BelAir implementation of Layer 2 tunnels currently operates with a Cisco 7200 router or equivalent, with a RedBack SmartEdge router or equivalent., with other routers that use Generic Router Encapsulation (GRE), or with Proxy Mobile IPv4 (PMIP) implementations.Figure 7: Wireless Mobility using L2TPBelAir Access Points (APs)Mobile wireless client device going from one AP to another BelAir Access Points (APs)
BelAir20E User Guide Using Layer 2 TunnelsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 164 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardThe TEP strips off the encapsulation data to reveal the original Ethernet frame exactly as sent by the AP. The TEP delivers the Ethernet frame to a VLAN-aware Ethernet switch. The switch applies normal Ethernet forwarding rules to send it to a gateway router with one router port per subnet. The gateway router switches the Ethernet frame to the appropriate outgoing router port.For packets moving in the other direction to the wireless client, the gateway router applies to IP traffic an Ethernet header with the client’s MAC address as the destination. The VLAN switch forwards this packet to the interface on which it last saw the client’s MAC address, which is the interface connected to the tunnel. The TEP receives the frame and encapsulates it in an IP packet. When the AP receives the packet, it strips off the encapsulation data, converts the resulting Ethernet frame to an 802.11frame, and then transmits it to the wireless client.When a mobile wireless client moves to a new AP, its traffic travels through a different Layer 2 tunnel. The traffic is encapsulated and sent to TEP as before. The VLAN-aware Ethernet switch then updates its MAC address table as required with the information for the wireless client’s new AP. Any subsequent frames sent to the wireless client are then forwarded to the new AP. Tunneling is performed by a software module called a tunnel engine. BelAir platforms can have only one tunnel engine. Each tunnel engine can create up to five tunnels to one or more TEPs. The end points of a Layer 2 tunnel are identified by their IP addresses. The IP address of the BelAir tunnel end point can be the IP address of the unit’s management interface, or any IP address associated with a VLAN. The BelAir IP addresses can be set manually or through the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).Each tunnel can carry traffic belonging to any group of configured VLANs.By assigning a group name to tunnels, you can also use BelView NMS to do dynamic load balancing of APs between different LNSs.

You can create up to five tunnels to the same peer or to different peers. Each tunnel carries just one L2TP session.
BelAir20E User Guide Using Layer 2 TunnelsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 167 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardThe <index> parameter is used for easy reference when using other commands. It can be displayed with the /protocol/te-<eng>/show config command. The <stn_name> parameter can be any series of 18 alphanumeric ASCII characters. L2TP protocol provides the <stn_name> parameter to the other end point so it can identify different tunnels coming from the same IP address or create logical group of nodes with the same name and different IP addresses. You can optionally specify the IP address and name of a backup server. If a tunnel cannot be created to the main router or if a tunnel fails, the backup parameters become active. The switch parameter controls whether the use of a backup router is revertive or not. Once the BelAir unit starts to use a tunnel to a backup router:• If switch is set to non-revertive, then the BelAir unit uses the tunnel to the backup router until it fails. Only then does the BelAir unit switches back to the tunnel using the main router. This is the default setting.• If switch is set to revertive, then the BelAir unit uses the tunnel to the backup router only while the main tunnel is unavailable. The BelAir unit switches back to the tunnel using the main router as soon as it becomes available again.The delete tunnel command removes all tunnels or the specified tunnel. After using this command, user data mapped to this tunnel is dropped instead of forwarded.Setting Tunnel Engine Parameters/protocol/te-<eng>/set mode {local|egress}                            [interface-vlan <VLAN_ID>]The set mode command is used when the unit is connected to other units through backhaul links. In this case, you may want the unit to act as an egress point and put access traffic from itself and the other nodes into the tunnel. Use local mode when the BelAir unit puts only its own access traffic into the tunnel. Use egress mode when the BelAir unit puts its own access traffic and that of many other units into the tunnel.If the VLAN interface is not specified, the unit’s management IP address is used to identify the local tunnel end point. IP addresses may be manually configured or obtained by DHCP. If a VLAN interface is specified, it must be previously configured. Refer to “Layer 2 Network Configuration” on page 183.

It can be displayed with the /protocol/te-<eng>/show config command. The following parameters can be set with this command:• L2TP Hello transmission interval. Values range from 10 to 300 seconds. The default setting is 60 seconds.• L2TP Hello retransmission count. Values range from 1 to 10. The default setting is 5.• L2TP Hello retransmission maximum interval. Values range from 1 second to 32 seconds. The default setting is 8 seconds.• PPP echo transmission interval. Values range from 0 seconds to 300 seconds. 0 seconds means PPP echo is disabled. The default setting is 10 seconds.• PPP echo retransmission count. Values range from 1 to 50. The default setting is 10.• DSCP value for control (L2TP/PPP) packets. The default setting is 0.The AP uses the L2TP Hello parameters to determine if the tunnel is available. If the AP does not receive a Hello packet during the L2TP Hello transmission interval, it begins to send its own Hello packets at exponential intervals starting at 1 second (that is, at 1, 2, 4, 8, ... seconds) until the L2TP Hello retransmission count and L2TP Hello retransmission maximum interval are reached. If not of the retransmitted Hello packets are answered, then the tunnel is considered unavailable. For additional details, refer to the L2TP specification.The PPP echo parameters are also used to determine tunnel availability. PPP echo packets are sent periodically with the interval specified by the PPP echo transmission interval.

L2VPN tunnels may co-exist with regular L2TP tunnels and GRE tunnels on the same BelAir unit.The oam parameter defines if the tunnel uses a failure detection mechanism based on 802.1ag CCM packets. If oam is disabled, the BelAir unit considers the tunnel to always be up. If oam is enabled, the BelAir unit relies on receiving 802.1ag CCM packets to detect tunnel state. These packets should be generated by outside equipment in the head end and should be forwarded to all BelAir units. Set oam to enabled if you are using backup.The auto parameter tells the BelAir unit that it should obtain L2VPN parameters (IP address and label) from the NetOp NSM server. This is a preferred setting for large deployments.The ip and backup-ip parameters specify IP addresses of the head end tunnel endpoint. It is usually the IP address of a SmartEdge device terminating L2VPN tunnels. Use these parameters to manually configure a test environment or small deployments.The label and backup-label parameters specify the MPLS labels of the head end tunnel endpoint virtual circuit. Use these parameters to manually configure a test environment or small deployments.The switch parameter controls whether the use of a backup router is revertive or not. Once the BelAir unit starts to use a tunnel to a backup router:• If switch is set to non-revertive, then the BelAir unit uses the tunnel to the backup router until it fails. Only then does the BelAir unit switches back to the tunnel using the main router. This is the default setting.
BelAir20E User Guide Using Layer 2 TunnelsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 171 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standard• If switch is set to revertive, then the BelAir unit uses the tunnel to the backup router only while the main tunnel is unavailable. The BelAir unit switches back to the tunnel using the main router as soon as it becomes available again.Use the set l2vpn autoconfig command to define parameters to communicate to the NetOp NSM configuration server:• To specify the NetOp NSM server, supply either the ip parameter with an IP address or the hostname parameter with a valid DNS host name.• The username parameter and the password parameter are used together to authenticate the BelAir node with NetOp NSM server. • The optional wait-time parameter lets you specify in minutes how long to wait for a response from NetOp NSM configuration server before declaring a failure condition. The default setting is 15 minutes, with a valid range of 1 to 60 minutes.• The optional retry-min and retry-max parameters let you specify in seconds a minimum and maximum value for the retry timer. The value of the retry timer is chosen randomly within the boundaries defined by the retry-min and retry-max parameters. The timer is triggered by any failure while trying to communicate with the NetOp NSM configuration server (for example, the server not responding in time or the server not recognizing the username parameter and the password parameters). When timer expires, the BelAir unit attempts to establish communications with the NetOp NSM configuration server again. The default settings are 60 seconds for retry-min and 180 seconds for retry-max, with a valid range of 10 to 1800 seconds.To  d i sa b l e  l2vpn autoconfig, enter an IP address of 0.0.0.0.Use the l2vpn autoconfig renew command to trigger getting a new set of configuration parameters from the NetOp NSM configuration server.Use the set l2vpn advanced inactivity-timer command to specify how long to wait until declaring the L2VPN tunnel down.

GRE tunnels may co-exist with regular L2TP tunnels and L2VPN tunnels on the same BelAir unit. The ip parameter specifies the IP address of the head end tunnel endpoint. It is usually the IP address of the router terminating GRE tunnels.This type of configuration uses proxy ARP because it cannot act as a router to terminate IP traffic. The proxy-arp parameter defines the scope of the proxy ARP functionality:•Use all if you want to answer ARP requests for any destination IP address.•Use dhcp if you want to answer ARP requests for the default gateway IP address only. In this case, the gateway IP address is learned from the DHCP relay communication to the client.•Use list to apply proxy ARP only to traffic destined to a particular set of IP address. Use the set tunnel-gre arp-list command to specify the set of IP addresses. The default value of the proxy-arp parameter is all.Use the set gre autoconfig command to define parameters to communicate to the third-party heartbeat server using a proprietary protocol. The ip parameter defines the IP address of heartbeat server. In this configuration, the BelAir20E sends a pseudo heartbeat packet at the interval specified by the interval parameter. The <seconds> parameter should be at least 60 seconds. The default value is 60 seconds. The heartbeat server uses the pseudo heartbeat packet to determine whether the tunnel’s operational state is up or down. The heartbeat server also uses the pseudo heartbeat packet to determine the BelAir20E’s tunnel configuration and correct it if required.The optional port parameter specifies the TCP port to communicate with the heartbeat server. The default value is 4040.

A PMIP tunnel allows a mobile client to change its point-of-attachment to the Internet without changing its IP address. In this implementation, the network tracks the movements of the mobile client and initiates the required mobility signalling on its behalf. In PMIP mode, the BelAir AP acts as MIP Foreign Agent.Use the set tunnel-pmip ha-ip command to create a tunnel to a PMIP home agent. PMIP tunnels may co-exist with regular L2TP tunnels and L2VPN tunnels on the same BelAir unit. The ha-ip parameter specifies the IP address of PMIP Home Agent (HA). The secret parameter specifies the authentication password for access to the PMIP HA. The spi parameter specifies the index identifying a security context between the AP and home agent. It is an integer value that should be greater than 255. The spi parameter and the secret parameter are used together to authenticate the AP with the HA.The optional lease-time parameter specifies the maximum lease-time in seconds for the client session. If the client does not send packets for more than the specified lease-time, its session is dropped. The default value is 300 seconds. When client traffic is forwarded through the PMIP tunnel, the AP acts as a DHCP server and provides all corresponding parameters (such as client's IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS addresses). The AP proxies all these parameters from the HA. If the HA is unable to provide some of these parameters (it must provide at least the client's IP address), the following logic is used by the AP:• The subnet mask is determined as corresponding to the IP class by IP address. For example, for IP address 67.100.125.10 subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.• The gateway is taken as first address within a specified subnet. For the previous example, the gateway address is 67.0.0.1. This gateway address is provided by the AP itself and may not correspond to any real IP address in the network.
BelAir20E User Guide Using Layer 2 TunnelsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 174 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standard• The DNS IP address(es) are determined by the set tunnel-pmip advanced dns command.Use the set tunnel-pmip advanced dns1 command to define the DNS server IP addresses to be provided to the client by the AP through DHCP in case the AP can not obtain corresponding settings from the HA. The optional dns2 parameter specifies the backup DNS server in case the primary one is unreachable.Mapping User Traffic /protocol/te-<eng>/map vlan {untagged|<VLAN ID>} to <index>                                               [domain <string>]/protocol/te-<eng>/unmap vlan {all|untagged|<VLAN ID>}The map vlan command instructs the tunnel engine to forward traffic to the specified tunnel. You can specify either traffic associated with a specific VLAN or traffic that is not tagged for any VLAN. All packets that meet this criteria received by any of the node’s radios are forwarded through the tunnel. If the tunnel is not configured or not active, all corresponding packets are dropped. If you specify untagged traffic, then the tunnel interface itself must be associated with a VLAN. Refer to “Setting Tunnel Engine Parameters” on page 167.The optional domain parameter is for PMIP tunnels. Some PMIP implementations require an additional identification string to communicate with the PMIP Home Agent (HA). The domain parameter allows you to specify the required string.The unmap vlan command removes all tunnel mapping entries or a specified tunnel mapping entry. After this command, the specified packets are then forwarded as if the tunnel does not exist.Configuring Authentication/protocol/te-<eng>/set tunnel <index (1-5)>        [secret <shared_secret>]        [ppp-name <id>] [ppp-password <pw>]        [backup-secret <backup_shared_secret>]        [backup-ppp-name <backup_id>] [backup-ppp-password <backup_pw>]/protocol/te-<eng>/set tunnel <index (1-5)>                               authentication {enabled|disabled}The set secret command configures the parameters for L2TP authentication for a specified tunnel. The secret parameter sets the shared secret for tunnel authentication. The ppp-name and ppp-password parameters set the data for session authentication. The settings for each of these three parameters must match the equivalent settings on the main router. The backup-secret, backup-ppp-name and backup-ppp-password parameters are equivalent settings for a backup router.
BelAir20E User Guide Using Layer 2 TunnelsOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 175 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardOnce the authentication parameters are configured, you use the set authentication command to enable authentication for a specified tunnel.Configuring a Tunnel Group Name/protocol/te-<eng>/set tunnel <index (1-5)>                               group-name <group_name>The <group_name> parameter indicates that an LNS belongs to a particular group. The BelView NMS tunnel manager looks at the tunnel usage of all LNSs within the same group and spread the tunnel traffic among the LNSs within the same group. BelView also configures tunnels for newly introduced nodes to the least used LNS within the same group.For details, refer to the BelView NMS User Guide.Relaying Traffic QOS Settings/protocol/te-<eng>/set tunnel <index (1-5)>                               qos-map {none|up-bits|dscp)Because the BelAir AP converts the client data packet into an Ethernet frame and then encapsulates it within an IP packet, any QOS information that was part of the original client data packet is not visible to upstream equipment. This command allows you to put the QOS information into the encapsulating IP packet header so that it becomes visible to the upstream equipment: • The dscp setting means that Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) information from the client data packet is included in the IP packet header.• The up-bits settings means that the IP packet header contains QOS settings based on User Priority bits (0 to 7) from the client data packet.• The none setting means that QOS information from the client data packet is not sent to upstream equipment.The default setting is none.Setting the Tunnel Down Alarm Threshold/protocol/te-<eng>/set alarm-threshold                             {disabled | enabled <num_of_alarms>}Typica l ly, a Tunnel Down alarm is generated when a tunnel fails to respond. However, if there are intermittent issues with the tunnel, it may take time to identify and correct the root cause. During this period, multiple Tunnel Down alarms would be generated.Enabling the alarm threshold reduces the number of Tunnel Down alarms generated per calendar day. If the threshold is reached, the system generates

The Tunnel Down events are still tracked through the tunnel’s performance monitoring statistics, allowing you to analyze the behavior.The <num_of_alarms> parameter ranges from 2 to 50. By default, the alarm threshold is enabled with a setting of 5, meaning that the Excess Tunnel Down Events alarm is generated once 5 Tunnel Down events occur in a day. Alarms generated during a maintenance window do not count against the alarm threshold. For details see, “Defining a Maintenance Window” on page 55.Configuring the Network Central Router for Layer 2 TunnelingThe specific configuration tasks and commands for the network central router vary, depending on the type of router that is installed.

See “System QoS” on page 177.• client to access point radio communications. See “Radio QoS” on page 180.System QoS BelAir nodes work in conjunction with one another to allow you to separate and prioritize traffic. Each BelAir20E node can inspect incoming traffic and prioritize traffic into four priority queues. Prioritization Each BelAir node supports four traffic priority queues, numbered 0 to 3. Queue 3 has the highest priority while queue 0 has the lowest priority. Table 13 describes each queue. All traffic that is not associated to a VLAN has priority 1. This means that until you create VLANs, all traffic has priority 1. Once VLANs have been created, you configure the node traffic to have different priorities based on User Priority bits (0 to 7) or VLAN IDs.Table 13: Traffic Priority QueuesQueue Number Description0 Background traffic1 Best effort trafficUse this queue for traffic that does not require QoS features, such as most data traffic2 Video traffic, T1 circuit emulationUse this queue for high priority traffic such as T1 circuit emulation, video or “gold service” customer traffic3  Voice over IP (VoIP) trafficUse this queue for SVP or other VoIP applications

BelAir20E User Guide Layer 2 Network ConfigurationOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 183 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardLayer 2 Network ConfigurationThe BelAir20E acts as a transparent bridge and layer 2 switch without the need to configure any software features. However, to control and manage the traffic inherent in a bridge (for example, broadcast and flooding) and to handle loop situations where multiple paths exist between nodes, you can invoke layer 2 features such as: • Virtual LANs (VLANs), that divide traffic among several sets of users and restrict broadcast to the respective VLANs. See “Configuring IP Parameters” on page 45.• Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), where the optimum path is selected and ports of alternate paths are shutdownIf there are no loops in the network, the BelAir20E can operate in bridge mode or with VLANs. If a loop exists, STP must be invoked to manage the different paths. This chapter contains the following sections: •“Spanning Tree Protocol Overview” on page 183—“Configuring Spanning Tree Priority” on page 184—“Configuring Other Spanning Tree Parameters” on page 185—“RSTP Commands” on page 186See also “Managing Egress Node Traffic” on page 64.Spanning Tree Protocol OverviewIt is important to configure the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) when multiple paths between nodes are created. As networks become more complex, multiple paths between nodes, either intentional or unintentional, become more likely. Although loops benefit the network by providing path redundancy, loops must be dynamically eliminated to prevent proliferation of broadcast traffic and confusion in the MAC learning tables of the bridge. This is accomplished by a spanning tree protocol, which generates a loop-free subset of the network's topology by placing those bridge or switch ports that, if active, would create loops into a standby (blocking) condition. Blocked bridge or switch ports can be activated in the event of primary link failure, providing a new path through the network.
BelAir20E User Guide Layer 2 Network ConfigurationOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 184 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardLoops can also occur accidentally or maliciously. For example, a technician may connect their laptop to the Ethernet port of a BelAir20E and also have a wireless link to a BelAir20E in the same network. If the laptop is configured to act as a bridge then it creates a loop in the network, and broadcast traffic quickly proliferates until the slowest link in the loop is saturated. This broadcast storm renders part—or all—of the network unusable.Note: To prevent issues as described previously, clients that associate with the BelAir20E are not allowed to operate as a bridge. The BelAir20E will automatically disassociate without warning from any client that is detected as behaving as a bridge; that is, sending spanning-tree BPDUs. However, clients are allowed to operate as router to allow features such as sharing a wireless Internet connection. For this type of operation, BelAir Networks recommends that the computer with the wireless connection to the BelAir20E have its operating system configured to act as a router. For example, Microsoft Windows XP offers the Internet Sharing function.The original spanning tree protocol is STP. When STP detects a topology change in the network, STP blocks all user traffic, creates a new loop-free configuration, and then re-enables user traffic. STP reconfigurations create outages that are typically 30 to 60 seconds in length.A newer protocol, Rapid STP (RSTP), greatly reduces the length of outages caused by topology reconfigurations. RSTP is backwards compatible with STP so it can be used in networks where some equipment only supports STP.BelAir20E units are shipped from the factory with RSTP enabled and default settings that are a suitable starting point for most deployments. The default node priority is 36864 (or 0x9000). The default port settings vary depending on the hardware in use, the topology and whether dynamic path cost is used or not.You should adjust the STP node priority and path cost settings for each node to match the topology of your network. Refer to your network plan for details.Configuring Spanning Tree Priority If all BelAir20E units are enabled with default settings, the switch with the lowest MAC address in the network becomes the root switch. However, due to traffic patterns, number of forwarding ports, or line types, the BelAir20E with the lowest MAC address might not be the ideal root switch. By increasing the priority (lowering the numerical priority number) of the ideal switch so that it becomes the root switch, an STP recalculation will be done to form a new

BelAir recommends that the root node is the Ethernet switch that is used to connect to the LIM(s). Refer to your network plan for details. Use the command described in “RSTP Priority” on page 192 and “RSTP Version” on page 192 to specify the STP priority and the version of STP used by the BelAir20E unit.Configuring Other Spanning Tree ParametersTable 16 describes spanning tree parameters that you can configure in addition to the STP node priority and path cost.Table 16: Configurable Spanning Tree Timers and Associated Parameters Parameter Default Value Description Possible RangeHello Timer 2 s  Determines how often the bridge broadcasts hello messages to other bridges1 s to 10 sMust be less than or equal to:(1/2Max_Age - 1)Forward Delay Timer 15 s Determines how long each of the listening and learning states last before the interface begins forwarding4 s to 30 sMust not be less than:(1/2Max_Age + 1)Maximum Age Timer 20 s Determines the amount of time the bridge stores protocol information received on an interface 6 s to 40 sMust not be less than:2(Hello_timer + 1)Must not exceed:2(Forward_Delay - 1)Transm it  Hold Count 6 Transmit hold count (packet queue length) 1 to 10Path Cost Type 32 bit Represents the media speed (or bit rate) 16 bit or 32 bit
BelAir20E User Guide Layer 2 Network ConfigurationOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 186 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardNote: BelAir Networks recommends that you do not change the RSTP parameter values in Table 16 from their default values. Experience has shown that these default values work well in a variety of networks.To change the spanning tree transmit hold count and the path cost, refer to “Transmit Hold Count” on page 192. To change the values of the spanning-tree timers, refer to “Max Age, Hello Time and Forward Delay” on page 193.Note: The STP or RSTP parameter values that are actually used are inherited from the root bridge. When you configure STP or RSTP parameters on a BelAir20E, you are setting the values that are used if that BelAir20E is the root bridge.RSTP Commands This section describes commands that you can execute while in rstp mode. Some RSTP commands apply to specific physical interfaces or to specific radio links. The Name column of the /protocol/rstp/show config port all command displays available interfaces and radio links. For example, if the Name column displays wifi-3-1-1, then wifi-3-1 identifies the interface and the -1 suffix identifies radio link 1 of that interface.The BelAir20E layer 2 switch forwards layer 2 frames to the output of one or more physical interfaces or radio links based on the information contained in the frame header (tags).Displaying the RSTP Configuration Settings/protocol/rstp/show config [port {all|active|<interface-name>}]This command displays the currently configured RSTP settings. To see the currently active RSTP parameters, as inherited from the root bridge, use the /protocol/rstp/show config port active command.Link Detection Count3  Represents the number Hello timer periods to wait before declaring the link is down3 to the ratio of the Maximum Age timer to the Hello timerTable 16: Configurable Spanning Tree Timers and Associated Parameters  Parameter Default Value Description Possible Range

This command is available only if dynamic path costs are disabled. Refer to “Dynamic Path Cost” on page 194.The <interface-name> parameter specifies a particular interface, such as wifi-2-1.The static path cost determines the preferred data paths between bridges throughout the network and the root bridge. The default path cost settings vary, depending on the hardware in use, the topology and whether dynamic path cost is used or not.Example/protocol/rstp# set interface wifi-2-1 pathcost 65535Dynamic Path Cost /protocol/rstp/set interface <interface-name>                    [dynamic-cost {enabled|disabled}]This command lets you manage how path costs are determined for each radio link on your BelAir20E.The <interface-name> parameter specifies a particular interface, such as wifi-2-1.Dynamic path costs are a useful way to adjust the topology of a network to isolate a link as a result of unplanned or seasonal effects. For example, there may be an unplanned source of radio interference with a particular link. Or, vegetation may affect a link during summer.When dynamic cost is disabled, each link is assigned a fixed cost. The default value depends on the hardware and topology in use.When dynamic cost is enabled, the BelAir20E adjusts the link’s cost based on several link quality factors. For example, a link with a low RSSI, such as -80, implies poor link quality causing it to have an increased cost. Similarly, a link with a high RSSI, such as -40, implies good link quality causing it’s cost to be reduced. Enabling dynamic path costs disables the command to configure a static path cost. Refer to “RSTP Static Path Cost” on page 194.To prevent unnecessary topology changes based on transient behaviour, a new link cost may not automatically cause a topology change. If the new link cost is
BelAir20E User Guide Layer 2 Network ConfigurationOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 195 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standardvery different from the current link cost, then the topology is changed. However, if the new link cost is only slightly different from the current link cost, then the current topology is maintained. As further protection against transient behaviour, the RSTP verifies that the new link cost is maintained for 30 minutes before it implements any potential topology changes.In all cases when a link is enabled or disabled, RSTP takes into account the new link costs as it creates a new topology.By default, dynamic cost is enabled for most combinations of platforms and topologies. Use the /protocol/rstp/show config port command to determine if it is enabled or disabled in your case.Note: Dynamic path cost should be disabled for mobile backhaul mesh applications because in such application path costs are determined by the mobility application.RSTP Protocol Migration on an Interface/protocol/rstp/set interface <interface-name>                              protocol-migration {true|false}While operating in RSTP mode, setting of this value to true forces the interface to transmit RSTP BPDUs. The <interface-name> parameter specifies a particular interface, such as wifi-2-1.RSTP Edge Port Status /protocol/rstp/set interface <interface-name>                              edge-port {true|false}This command indicates whether the interface is an edge port or not. An edge port cannot communicate to another RSTP enabled device. This setting is typically false, but can be true  for situations such as being connected to a laptop, or to a simple switch. RSTP uses edge port status to optimize performance during topology changes.

BelAir20E User Guide Performing a Software UpgradeOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 197 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardPerforming a Software UpgradeThis section instructs you how to upgrade a BelAir20E unit by downloading a new software load from a remote server. The procedures in this section assume the following:• You have connected to the BelAir20E.• You have started a Command Line Interface (CLI) session and you have logged in as root. When you need to login again, such as after a reboot, use the root user account so you have access to all the required commands.• You are familiar with the operation of the CLI.• You are familiar with the operation of the config-save command. Refer to “Saving your Changes” on page 21 for details.CAUTION! Make sure to read and understand the entire upgrade procedure described in this section before attempting to upgrade a unit. An improper upgrade could result in a unit becoming inoperable and isolated from the network. CAUTION! A unit’s configuration database in one release can be structurally different than in other releases. For example, the configuration database in Release 12.0 is structurally different than in previous releases. Because of this, downgrading a software load from Release 12.0 to the previous release requires much effort. BelAir Networks strongly recommends that you fully verify the configuration and operation of an upgraded unit before you commit the new load to replace the old load and configuration. The upgrade process in this document contains guidelines to help you verify a unit. For instructions on how to downgrade a unit, contact BelAir Networks. Upgrade Process OverviewAn operator logged in as root can upgrade a BelAir20E unit by downloading a new software load from a remote server. You can use either TFTP or FTP to communicate with the remote server. You must ensure that the server is running at an accessible IP address. For redundancy purposes, BelAir20E units store two copies of the software load in two application banks: banks A and B. The active software load is the software load that is currently running. The standby software load is the software load in the alternate application bank. Either bank A or bank B may be active at a given time. See Figure 8 on page 198.
BelAir20E User Guide Performing a Software UpgradeOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 198 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardFigure 8: Active and Standby Software Loads Under normal operating conditions, the contents of the two software load banks are identical. During a software upgrade, the new software load is copied into the standby bank at the time of the upgrade.A software upgrade consists of the following steps:1 Ensure the current configuration is saved. Refer to “Saving your Changes” on page 21. 2 Determine what software load is active (A or B). The new software load will overwrite the standby bank.3 Download the new software load. The new software load is downloaded to the standby software load bank. If A is active, then the new software load is downloaded to bank B. If B is active, then the new software load is downloaded to bank A.4 Verify the new software downloaded successfully.5 Activate the new software load from the standby software load bank (containing the new load) by rebooting the node. The new load is promoted to active and the formerly active software load bank becomes standby. 6 Verify the configuration and operation of the unit operating with the new software load7 Commit the load (copy the newly activated load to the standby software load bank).BelAir UnitABActive Software LoadStandby Software LoadActive Software LoadPointer to software load for next restart
BelAir20E User Guide Performing a Software UpgradeOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 199 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardNote: Any configuration changes that you make before you commit the new software load are lost if you back out of the upgrade. You can also use BelView NMS to manage how nodes are upgraded. For details, refer to the BelView NMS User Guide and “Auto-upgrade” on page 204.CAUTION! Do not change or save the node configuration while upgrading the system.CAUTION! It is always possible to downgrade a committed software load to an older release. However, while the existing configuration data is saved (upgraded) during a software upgrade, the existing configuration data could be lost (erased) during a software downgrade. BelAir Networks recommends that you save and remotely store the current existing configuration database in case you choose to downgrade a software load. For instructions on how to downgrade a unit, contact BelAir Networks. Displaying the Active and Next Software LoadsDisplay the active software load and the load that is activated at the next reboot with the following command:/system/show loadsDownloading a New Software Load/system/upgrade load remoteip <serverIPaddress>              remotepath <serverSubDir>              [{tftp|ftp [user <usrname> password <pword>]}]]This command downloads a new software image from a remote server. It copies the new software load into the standby software load bank and sets the new load as the next active load. See Figure 9 on page 200.You can use either TFTP or FTP to communicate with the remote server. By default, the upgrade load command uses TFTP. If you specify FTP, you can also specify the user name and password. The default FTP user name is anonymous and the default FTP password is root@<nodeip>, where <nodeip> is the IP address of node making the request. If you do not use the default FTP username, the FTP server must be configured to accept your username and password.CAUTION! Once it begins, the upgrade process cannot be interrupted or terminated by the user with the current CLI session. See “Canceling a Software Upgrade” on page 200.
BelAir20E User Guide Performing a Software UpgradeOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 200 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardCanceling a Software Upgrade/system/cancel upgradeThis command stops the transfer of the new software load into the standby software load bank. If you reboot the node, the software in the active software load bank is used. See Figure 9.To cancel the upgrade process:1 Start another CLI session to the BelAir20E being upgraded and log in as in as root.2 Issue the following command:/system/cancel upgrade3 When requested, confirm your intent.If you confirm that you want to cancel the software upgrade, a message appears in the other CLI session informing it’s user that the upgrade has been cancelled.CAUTION! Because the software upgrade process was interrupted, the software in the standby software load bank may no longer be suitable to reboot the system. Do not set it to be the next active load unless you first commit the current active software load, or complete a new software upgrade.Figure 9: Software Upgrade Step 3 - Downloading the New Software LoadExternal TFTP ServerSoftware DownloadBelAir UnitABActive Software LoadStandby Software LoadActive Software LoadPointer to software load for next restart

This command forces the unit to execute with the new load and completes the activation process.When upgrading several nodes in a network, BelAir recommends that you reboot the most remote node first and progress towards the near-end, node-by-node. For star topologies, reboot the subscriber station nodes before rebooting the associated base station node.Note: Rebooting a unit as part of a software upgrade can take significantly longer, up to 20 minutes, depending on the unit’s configuration.
BelAir20E User Guide Performing a Software UpgradeOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 202 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardVerifying the New Software LoadBelAir Networks recommends that you fully verify the configuration and operation of an upgraded unit before you commit the new load. Use the following steps as guidelines.1 Fully verify the unit’s configuration and operation.2 If required, adjust any settings and save the new configuration.3 Reboot the unit and verify that all changes take effect.If you observe any issues, follow the steps in “Backing Out from a Software Upgrade” on page 203.Committing a New Software Load/system/commit loadOnce you have activated the unit with new software load, you can commit it with this command. See Figure 10.CAUTION! This command copies the contents of the active software bank to the standby bank. For example, if the active software bank is A, its contents overwrite those of bank B. Backing out is no longer possible after the new software load has been committed. After the new software load has been committed, you can no longer back out of the upgrade; but you can downgrade the unit. For instructions on how to downgrade a unit, contact BelAir Networks.Figure 10: Software Upgrade Step 7 - Commit the Software Load BelAir UnitABStandby Software LoadActive Software LoadActive Software LoadPointer to software load for next restartCommit: Overwrite old software load in the standby bank
BelAir20E User Guide Performing a Software UpgradeOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 203 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardThe commit command copies the system software and the configuration database to the adjacent bank at the time of execution. However, changes to the active load’s configuration after the commit command is executed are not automatically stored in the standby bank. To keep both banks synchronized, you must use the commit command after every configuration change of the active load.Backing Out from a Software UpgradeIt is possible to back out from a software upgrade in case its effects are undesired, but only if the new software load has not been committed. See Figure 11 on page 203.Figure 11: Backing Out from an Uncommitted Software Upgrade When you back out of a software upgrade, the old load overwrites the new software load.To back out from an upgrade, do the following steps:1 Determine which bank has the old software load with the following command:/system/show loads2 Set the old software load to be the next active load with the following command:/system/set next-load {A|B}BelAir UnitABOldSoftware LoadNewSoftware LoadActive Software LoadPointer to software load for next restartActivate old software loadBackout: Overwrite new software load with old software load
BelAir20E User Guide Performing a Software UpgradeOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 204 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardIf you have just upgraded the software, you must set the unit to reboot with the currently standby load. For example, if the old software load is in bank A, as shown in Figure 11, and the new software load is in bank B, then you must activate bank A with the following command:/system/set next-load AAlternatively, steps 1 and 2 can be combined with the following command:/system/set next-load {current|inactive}If you specify inactive, at the next reboot the system uses the bank containing a load other than the one that is running. Specify current to switch back to the bank containing the active load. 3 Reboot the system, with the reboot command.Note: Rebooting a unit as part of a software upgrade can take significantly longer, up to 20 minutes, depending on the unit’s configuration.4 Run the commit command. Running the commit command is not necessary if the system is already executing the old software load (because you have decided, for example, to back-out of the upgrade before activating the new load). In this case, the content of the old software load (which is active) overwrites the contents of the new undesired software load.Displaying the Status of the Software Upgrade/system/show upgrade statusThis command displays the status of the software upgrade process.Clearing the Upgrade Failure Alarm/system/clear alarm upgrade-failureThis command allows you to clear the alarm generated when a software upgrade fails.Auto-upgrade /system/show auto-upgrade/system/set auto-upgrade {enabled|disabled}This command allows you to control whether a node can be upgraded automatically through BelView NMS. The default setting is enabled, meaning that BelView NMS can automatically upgrade the node,For details, refer to the BelView NMS User Guide.

BelAir20E User Guide Scripting GuidelinesOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 234 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardAppendix C: Scripting GuidelinesThis appendix provides guidance so you can create, manage and run scripts for BelAirOS™ platforms.General Scripting GuidelinesThis chapter introduces you to the concepts of creating and managing scripts for platforms that use the BelAirOS. The following sections are provided:•“Overview” on page 234•“Creating a BelAirOS Script” on page 234•“Manually Transferring Files to and from a BelAir Node” on page 235•“Managing and Manually Running Script Files” on page 236Overview In general, a script is a series of programming language statements to allow control of one or more software applications or devices. Scripts are distinct from the core code of an application, as they are created by the end-user. Scripts are often interpreted, whereas the applications they control are traditionally compiled to native machine code.For BelAirOS platforms you can create scripts consisting of valid and supported BelAir CLI commands to:• make repetitive tasks quicker and easier to do• automate the configuration of a node when it starts upYour script file must contain special declarations for the following cases:• If you want to specify and control physical interfaces, such as wifi-1-1, use the declarations described in “Specifying Physical Interfaces” on page 237.• Depending on the CLI commands in your script, you may need to reboot the BelAirOS platform. If this case, use the declarations described in “Including a Reboot Command in a Script” on page 242.Creating a BelAirOS Script Use the following general guidelines to create a script file:• Make sure the script contains only valid and supported BelAir CLI commands. If you are using an older script, make sure the CLI commands that it contains are still valid and supported.• Some BelAir functions, such as Network Address Translation (NAT), require that you reboot the node after you configure them. If your script is for BelAirOS auto-configuration at startup and if it must include the reboot
BelAir20E User Guide Scripting GuidelinesOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 235 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standardcommand, then your script must include special declarations. For details, see “Including a Reboot Command in a Script” on page 242.Caution! Using the reboot command in an auto-configuration script without the correct declarations may cause the node to enter a continuous reboot loop.• Test the final script to ensure all commands are valid, syntactically correct and appropriate for the installed hardware. To help debugging, redirect the output of the script to a file. Use the optional <output_file> parameter of the run script command. When you are satisfied with your script:1 Put the final version of it on a TFTP, FTP or FTPS server to transfer the script file to the BelAir unit.2 Use the commands described in “Manually Transferring Files to and from a BelAir Node” on page 235 to transfer the script to the BelAir platforms you want to control.3 Use the commands described in “Managing and Manually Running Script Files” on page 236 as required.The process of downloading and running a script file on startup can be automated. For details, see the “Auto-configuration” chapter of the BelAir platform User Guide. Manually Transferring Files to and from a BelAir NodeUse the following CLI commands to manually transfer files, such as script files, to and from a BelAir node:/system/tftpget remoteip <ip_addr> remotefile <filename>                                   [localfile <filename>]/system/tftpput remoteip <ip_addr> localfile <filename>                                    [remotefile <name>]/system/getfile remoteip <ip_addr> remotefile <filename>                [localfile <filename>]               [{tftp|                 ftp [user <username> password <password>]|                 ftps [user <username> password <password>]}]For the tftpget and getfile commands, if you do not specify a local file name, then the transferred file maintains the same name as on the remote file system.For the tftpput command, if you do not specify a remote file name, then the transferred file maintains the same name as on the local file system.For the getfile command:• The default protocol is TFTP.• For FTP, the default user name is anonymous and the default password is root@ followed by the node IP address. For example, if the node has
BelAir20E User Guide Scripting GuidelinesOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 236 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standard148.16.4.123 as an IP address, then the default password is root@148.16.4.123.• For FTPS, the default user name is the unit’s MAC address stripped of colons. The default password is unit’s MAC address stripped of colons, followed by @, followed by the node IP address. For example, if the node has 11:22:33:44:55:66 as a MAC address and 148.16.4.123 as an IP address, then the default user name is 112233445566 and the default password is 112233445566@148.16.4.123.CAUTION! Do not use these commands to perform a software upgrade on a BelAir node. Use the upgrade load command instead. Refer to “Performing a Software Upgrade” on page 197 for full details on performing software upgrades.Managing and Manually Running Script Files Use the following commands as required:/system/copy script <script file> <copied file name>/system/delete script <script file>/system/rename script <script file> <new name>/system/show script <script file>list scriptsrun script <scriptname> [<output_file>]The copy, delete, rename and show script commands are available in system mode and allow you to manage and customize script files as you require.The list and run script commands are available from any mode. The list scripts command displays the scripts that are available to you. The run script command allows you to execute a previously created script file.TipIf you have a simple script that does not specify physical interfaces and does not contain a reboot command, you can also run it by copying it and pasting it into a CLI session window. If you use this method:1 Paste only 20 to 25 commands at a time. Otherwise, you may overfill the command buffer used for the CLI session. If you overfill the command buffer, you need to determine exactly which commands were executed and which were not before proceeding.2 After pasting a block of commands, verify that your script behaved as expected; that is, that the pasted commands produced the expected configuration.
BelAir20E User Guide Scripting GuidelinesOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 237 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standard3 After verifying the script behavior, manually enter the config-save and reboot commands as required.Specifying Physical InterfacesIf you want your script file to specify and control physical interfaces, such as wifi-1-1, then your script must contain the declarations described in the following sections:•“Physical Interface Declaration Summary” on page 237•“Physical Interface Declaration Specifications” on page 238As well, this chapter contains examples of the setup, contents and results of a typical script.Physical Interface Declaration Summary Table 19 summarizes the declarations required in your script file to specify a physical interface.Table 19: BelAir Script Declaration Summary Script Declaration Descriptionint[-<asbly>]-<iftype>[-<desc>]-<instance> Used to define a physical interface to which the following CLI commands apply to.For a definition of <asbly>, <iftype>, <desc>, and <instance>, see “Physical Interface Declaration Specifications” on page 238./Precedes a CLI command that is not directed to the specified physical interface. The CLI command must start with a slash (/) followed by the mode(s) containing that command.

BelAir20E User Guide Scripting GuidelinesOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 238 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardPhysical Interface Declaration SpecificationsScript files can use the following method to ensure commands are applied to the correct physical interface:1 Begin the command sequence by specifying the physical interface with the following declaration:int[-<asbly>]-<iftype>[-<desc>]-<instance><asbly> specifies the platform’s assembly code. This part of the declaration is optional. If provided, it must match at least part of the text in the Assembly code field output by the /system/show phyinv command. <asbly> must start with BelAir or BA. See also “Common BelAirOS Platform Assembly Codes” on page 244.<iftype> specifies the type of physical interface. This part of the declaration is mandatory. It must be one of wifi, wimax, pwe, eth or opt.<desc> specifies a description of the interface to uniquely identify it. This part of the declaration is optional. If provided, it must be at least three characters long and match at least part of the text in the Description field in the Physical Interface Table output by the /system/show phyinv command. See also “Common Radio Card Descriptions” on page 246.<instance> specifies which instance of the interface to apply the commands to. It must be a digit between 1 and 127.Use a dash ( - ) to separate each part in the declaration. The system uses the information in your declaration to determine which physical interface the following commands apply to.2 List the CLI commands. These may be commands directed to the physical interface specified by step 1 or they may be other commands. Any commands not directed to the specified physical interface must start with a slash ( / ) followed by the mode(s) containing that command. In all cases, make sure you follow the guidelines in “Creating a BelAirOS Script” on page 234.3 Terminate the command sequence with the following declaration:int-stopIf the BelAirOS cannot identify a physical interface based on the information in the int declaration, then it skips the list of commands and continues executing the script after the int-stop declaration.The following example shows the setup, script and output of a typical application of this functionality for a BelAir100T.

If your script must include a reboot command, then your script must contain the declarations described in the following sections:•“Reboot Declaration Summary” on page 242•“Reboot Declaration Specification” on page 242As well, this chapter contains a typical script as an example.Reboot Declaration Summary Table 19 summarizes the declarations required in your script if it needs to include a reboot command.Reboot Declaration Specification If your script must include the reboot command, then your script must include the declarations described in this section.Caution! Using the reboot command in an auto-configuration script without the correct declarations may cause the node to enter a continuous reboot loop.The declarations for using the reboot command in a script are an extension of those for specifying a physical interface in a script. See “Specifying Physical Interfaces” on page 237.Table 20: Script Declaration Summary for Reboot CommandScript Declaration Descriptioncheck-db-change-start Verifies and records whether the following commands change the node’s settings. For details, see “Reboot Declaration Specification” on page 242check-db-change-stop Stops verifying whether commands change the node’s settings.

BelAir20E User Guide Scripting GuidelinesOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 243 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 StandardThe declarations are:•check-db-change-start. This declaration verifies and records whether the following commands change the node’s settings. It ignores commands that change a setting to be the current setting. For example, if a physical interface’s administrative state is enabled, the set admin-state enabled command for that physical interface is ignored.•check-db-change-stop. This declaration stops verifying whether commands change the node’s setting.•int-db-change-start. This declaration is used with the previous check-db-change declarations. The int-db-change-start declaration instructs the node to execute the commands that follow if the node’s settings have changed. Typically, your script uses the declarations in the following sequence:1 Use valid CLI commands and physical interface declarations as required.2Use the config-save command to save the changes to this point to the node’s database.3 Include the check-db-change-start declaration. (Begin recording whether the following commands change the nodes settings.)4 Use the CLI commands for the functionality that requires a reboot, for example /protocol/nat/set commands.5 Include the check-db-change-stop declaration. (Stop recording whether the following commands change the node’s settings.)6 Use more valid CLI commands and physical interface declarations as required.7 At the end of the script, include the int-db-change-start declaration.8Use the config-save command to save any remaining changes to the node’s database.9 Include the /system/reboot CLI command. 10 Include y. (Confirm the reboot.)11 Include the int-stop declaration, as a terminator for the int-db-change-start declaration.The first time the auto-configuration script is run (during initial startup), the check-db-change-start and check-db-change-stop declarations record the fact that the NAT commands have changed NAT settings. The condition for the int-db-change-start declaration is therefore true. The config-save and reboot
BelAir20E User Guide Scripting GuidelinesOctober 11, 2011 Confidential Page 244 of 267Document Number BDTM02201-A01 Standardcommands at the end of the script are executed. The second time the auto-configuration script is run (during the second startup), the NAT commands do not change the NAT settings. Hence the condition for the int-db-change-start declaration is false, and the config-save and reboot commands at the end of the script are not executed.Reboot Script Example The following is a listing of a typical script:int-wifi-2.4GHz-1set channel 11set admin-state enabledshow configint-stopint-wifi-5GHz-1set channel 155set backhaul admin-state disabledshow configconfig-saveint-BELAIR-20check-db-change-start/protocol/nat/set scope 1 dhcp-server vlan 401 based-ip 45.89.233.0 lease-time 30/protocol/nat/set scope 1 status enabled/protocol/nat/set admin-state enabledcheck-db-change-stopint-stopint-db-change-startconfig-save/system/rebootyint-stopCommon BelAirOS Platform Assembly CodesThis section lists the most common BelAirOS platform assembly codes that can be used when specifying a physical interface in a script.
