Configure the Forwarding Feature
otee Forwarding submenu is only available in AP Router Mode and AP Client Router (WISP Client) Mode.
The IP address used on the internet is public IP address, while IP address used on local area network is private IP address. The hosts using private IP addresses cannot access the internet directly and vice versa.
The hosts using private IP addresses visit internet through NAT (Network Address Translation) technology. NAT can transfer private IP addresses into public IP addresses to realize the communication from internal hosts to external hosts.
If the hosts on the internet want to visit the hosts on local area network, the forwarding function should be used, including DMZ, Virtual server, Port triggering and UPnP.
Go to the Network page. In the Forwarding section, configure the following parameters and click Apply. Then click Save.
DMZ
Enable or disable the DMZ function. DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) specifically allows one computer/device behind NAT to become "demilitarized", so all packets from the external network are forwarded to this computer/device. The demilitarized host is exposed to the wide area network, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication between internal hosts and external hosts.
73
DMZ IP ALG
Specify the IP address of the local host network device. The DMZ host device will be completely exposed to the external network. Any PC that was used for a DMZ must have a static or reserved IP Address because its IP Address may change when using the DHCP function.
Select the type of ALG to enable the corresponding feature. Common NAT only translates the address of packets at network layer and the port number at transport layer but cannot deal with the packets with embedded source/destination information in the application layer. Application layer gateway (ALG) can deal with protocols with embedded source/destination information in the application payload. Some protocols such as FTP, TFTP, H323 and RTSP require ALG (Application Layer Gateway) support to pass through NAT.
FTP ALG: Allows FTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT.
TFTP ALG: Allows TFTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT.
H323 ALG: Allows Microsoft NetMeeting clients to communicate across NAT.
RTSP ALG: Allows some media player clients to communicate with some streaming media servers across NAT.
74
Virtual Server
Enable or disable Virtual Server. Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your local area network, such as DNS, Email and FTP. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from the internet to this service port will be redirected to the LAN server. Virtual Server function not only makes the users from internet visit the local area network, but also keeps network security within the intranet as other services are still invisible from internet. The LAN server must have a static or reserved IP Address because its IP Address may change when using the DHCP function.
To configure Virtual Server:
Click Add, specify the following parameters and Enable the entry. Click Save.
IP: Enter the IP Address of the PC providing the service application.
Internal Port: Enter the Internal Port number of the PC running the service application. You can leave it blank if the Internal Port is the same as the Service Port, or enter a specific port number.

Protocol: Choose the one of the protocols used for this application: TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP.
75
Port Trigger
Enable or disable port trigger. Due to the existence of the firewall, some applications such as online games, video conferences, VoIPs and P2P downloads need the device to configure the forwarding to work properly, and these applications require multiple ports connection, for single-port virtual server cannot meet the demand. Port trigger function comes at this time. When an application initiates a connection to the trigger port, all the incoming ports will open for subsequent connections.
To configure port trigger:
Click Add, specify the following parameters and Enable the entry. Click Save.
Incoming Port: Enter the incoming port for incoming traffic. The port or port range is used by the remote system when it responds to the outgoing request. A response to one of these ports will be forwarded to the PC that triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port section). Every group of ports must be set apart with ",". For example, 2000-2038, 2050-2051, 2085, 3010-3030.
Trigger Port: Enter the trigger port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using this port will "Trigger" this rule.
Protocol: Choose the one of the protocols used for this application: TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP.
76
UPnP
Enable or disable UPnP. If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should enable the UPnP function. The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) function allows the devices, such as internet computers, to access the local host resources or devices as needed. Host in the local area network can automatically open the corresponding ports on a router, and make the application of external host access the resources of the internal host through the opened ports. Therefore, the functions limited to the NAT can work properly. Compared to virtual server and port triggering, the application of UPnP doesn't need manual settings. It is more convenient for some applications required unfixed ports.
App Description: Displays the description provided by the application in the UPnP request.
External Port: Displays the external port number that the router opened for the service application.
Internal Port: Displays the internal service port number of the local host running the service application.
Protocol: Displays which type of protocol is opened.
IP Address: Displays the IP address of the local host which initiates the UPnP request.
Status: Enabled means that port is still active. Otherwise, the port is inactive.

Select and enable the VPN function.
A VPN is created by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, virtual tunneling protocols, or traffic encryptions. Through VPN you can access your private network over internet. A virtual private network connection across the internet is similar to a wide area network (WAN) link between sites. From a user perspective, the extended network resources are accessed in the same way as resources available within the private network. When hosts in the local area network want to visit the remote virtual private network using virtual tunneling protocols, the corresponding VPN protocol should be enabled.
PPTP Passthrough: PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) allows the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) to be tunneled through an IP (Internet Protocol) network. Check the box to allow PPTP tunnels to pass through the Device.

4.9 Configure IP & MAC Binding
We can effectively prevent ARP attack and IP embezzlement by enabling the IP&MAC binding. Within the local network, the device transmits IP packets to the certain target identified by the MAC address. Therefore, the IP and MAC address should be one-toone correspondence and their corresponding relations are maintained by the ARP table. ARP attack can use forged information to renewal the ARP table, and destroy the corresponding relations between IP and MAC addresses, which would prevent the communication between the device and the corresponding host. When the IP&MAC Binding function is enabled, the IP and MAC relations in the ARP table won't be expired and renewed automatically, which effectively prevents the ARP attack.
Some functions such as access control and bandwidth control, are based on the IP addresses to identify the access clients. The network administrator can allocate every client a static IP, according to which he makes the access and bandwidth rules to control the clients' online behavior and the bandwidth they've used. Some illegal users may change the IP address in order to get higher internet access. Enabling IP & MAC binding function can effectively prevent the IP embezzlement.
otee After IP & MAC binding function is enabled, the IP bound to the MAC cannot be used by other MACs. However this MAC can use other IPs within the same segment, which are not bounded by other MACs, to access the network.
1.Go to the Network page. In the IP & MAC Binding section, click Add and specify the IP address and MAC address.
ipse Click Import to quick import the entries in ARP table to IP & MAC Binding table. The imported entries are disabled by default. Select the desired entries and click Edit to enable it.

This chapter introduces how to configure the parameters of the wireless network, including: 5.1 Configure Basic Wireless Parameters 5.2 Configure Wireless Client Parameters 5.3 Configure Wireless AP Parameters 5.4 Configure Multi-SSID 5.5 Configure Wireless MAC Filtering 5.6 Configure Advanced Wireless Parameters
86
5.1 Configure Basic Wireless Parameters
This section allows you to configure wireless basic parameters, such as 802.11 mode, Transmit Power, and data rates.
Go to the Wireless Page. In the Basic Wireless Settings section, configure the basic wireless settings and click Apply. Then click Save.
Region Mode
Specify the region where you use the device. Available channels and maximum Transmit Power will be determined by the selected region according to the local laws and regulations.
Select the protocol standard used in the wireless network.
With a frequency band of 2.4GHz, CPE210/CPE220/WBS210 supports five wireless modes: 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11b/g and 802.11b/g/n. We recommend you to set the mode as 11b/g/n mixed, and all of 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n wireless stations can connect to the device.
CPE510/CPE610/WBS510 has a frequency band of 5GHz, supporting 802.11a, 802.11n and 802.11a/n modes. We recommend you to set the mode as 11a/n, allowing both 802.11a and 802.11n wireless stations to access the device.
87
Channel Width
Max TX Rate Channel/ Frequency Antenna Antenna Gain
Select the channel width of this device. Options include 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz, 40 MHz and 20/40 MHz (the device automatically selects 40 MHz, and 20 MHz will be used if 40 MHz is not available). According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a channel width of 40 MHz can increase wireless throughput. However, you may need choose lower bandwidth due to the following reasons:
·To increase the available number of channels within the limited total bandwidth.
·To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other devices in the environment.
·Lower bandwidth can concentrate higher transmit power, increasing stability of wireless links over long distances.
·In Client / AP Client Router / Repeater / Bridge Mode, the device should have the same channel width as the root AP.
·In Access Point / AP Router / Repeater / Bridge Mode, select the channel width which your clients support.
Set the maximum transmit data rate.
Select appropriate channel used by this device to improve wireless performance. 1/2412 MHz refers to Channel 1 and the frequency is 2412 MHz. This setting is only available in Access Point Mode and AP Router Mode.
CPE210/CPE220/WBS210 is a device with a frequency of 2.4GHz and CPE510/CPE610/WBS510 has a frequency of 5GHz. We highly recommend that you use the Spectrum Analysis tool to select a proper channel.
Select your antenna from the list.
Antenna Gain is only available in WBS products. Enter the antenna gain value according to the antennas and the value ranges from 0 to 30dBi. It can work together with the transmit power to improve the transmit signal quality.

Enable or disable the Channel Shifting function. This function is only available when MAXtream is enabled in Access Point Mode and AP Router Mode. Channel Shifting is a TP-Link proprietary technology. With Channel Shifting enabled, the AP will use non-standard channels by adding a frequency offset to the standard 802.11 b/g/n channels.
Your network can then only be detected by the wireless devices with Channel Shifting enabled and so is less likely to be detected by other wireless networks, which benefits network security.
Transmit Power
Specify the transmit power of the device. Use the slider or manually enter the transmit power value. For WBS210 and WBS510, the maximum transmit power varies according to the antenna gain value.
N ote:
In most scenarios, it is unnecessary to select the maximum transmit power. Selecting larger transmit power than your need may cause interference to neighborhood. Also it consumes more power and will reduce longevity of the device. Select appropriate transmit power to achieve the best performance. Use the Speed Test tool to find the best performance.
MAXtream
Enable or disable the MAXtream function. This function is only available in Access Point Mode and AP Router Mode. MAXtream is a TP-Link proprietary technology.

5.6 Configure Advanced Wireless Parameters
This section is used to specify the advanced wireless parameters, such as Beacon Interval, RTS threshold and DTIM Interval.
102
Go to the Wireless page. In the Advanced Wireless Settings section, specify the following parameters and click Apply. Then click Save.
Distance Setting
Specify the distance between AP and Station. If this device serves as a client, the value is the distance between this device and the root AP. If this device serves as an AP, the value is the distance between the farthest client and this AP.
You can manually enter the value or enable the Auto option.
Manual: Enter the distance manually in the input box. The value is limited to 0-200km, and we recommend you set the value to 110% of the real distance.
Auto (Only works within 0-xx km): Check the Auto option, then the system will dynamically detect the distance. This function is available only when the distance is less than xx kilometers. The value xx varies according to the channel width you set. CPE210 does not support this option.
The distance value will be converted to a corresponding ACK timeout value, and the ACK timeout value will influence the throughput performance to a large extent.
Long Range PtP
Note: Only WBS510, WBS210 and CPE610 support this feature.
Long Rage PtP is only available when MAXtream function is enabled. With this function enabled, it is allowed to specify a larger distance which can be helpful in the following situations:
·The AP is connected to a single client or AP.
·The distance between the two devices exceeds the distance allowed by the AP's hardware specifications.
The distance is used to calculate the Acknowledge timeout (ACK timeout). Long Range PtP allows the AP to get a larger ACK timeout and reduce unnecessary retransmission in the situations above.
103
Beacon Interval
Specify the beacon interval for the device. Beacons are transmitted periodically by the device to announce the presence of a wireless network for the clients. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons sent by the device. Specify a value from 40 to 1,000. The default value is 100.
RTS Threshold
Specify the RTS threshold for the device.
RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) is used to improve the data transmission efficiency of the network with hidden nodes, especially when there are lots of large packets to be transmitted.
When the size of a data packet is larger than the RTS Threshold, the RTS/ CTS mechanism will be activated. With this mechanism activated, before sending a data packet, the client will send an RTS packet to the device to request data transmitting. And then the device will send CTS packet to inform other clients to delay their data transmitting. In this way, packet collisions can be avoided.
For a busy network with hidden nodes, a low threshold value will help reduce interference and packet collisions. But for a not-so-busy network, a too low threshold value will cause bandwidth wasting and reduce the data throughput. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes.
Fragmentation Threshold
Specify the fragmentation threshold for packets.
The fragmentation function can limit the size of packets transmitted over the network. If the size of a packet exceeds the Fragmentation Threshold, the fragmentation function is activated and the packet will be fragmented into several packets.
Fragmentation helps improve network performance if properly configured. However, a too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless performance caused by the extra work of dividing up and reassembling of frames and increased message traffic. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes.
DTIM Interval
Specify the DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval for the device.
The DTIM is contained in some Beacon frames. It indicates whether the device has buffered data for client devices. The DTIM Period indicates how often the clients served by this device should check for buffered data still on the device awaiting pickup.
Specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, indicating that clients check for buffered data at every beacon. An excessive DTIM interval may reduce the performance of multicast applications, so we recommend you keep the default value.
104
AP Isolation Short GI
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) QoS
Enable or disable AP Isolation. With this feature enabled, the clients can not communicate with each other directly.
N ote: AP Isolation is not available in Client Mode.
Enable or disable Short GI.
Propagation delays often occurs in data transmission process and influence the capability of the wireless network. It can result from multiple factors, such as multipath effect. GI (Guard Interval) is intended to solve the problem based on delays, and Short GI is used to improve the throughput of the wireless network based on the GI in the environment with small delays.
When the delays are small. When Short GI is enabled, the guard interval will be set as 400ns and this function will boost the performance about 11%. In the with serious multipath time delay. Short GI function will reduce the throughput instead of improving it.
Enable or disable WMM. With WMM enabled, the system will prioritize traffic according to the data type when forwarding data. Time-dependent traffic, such as video or audio packets, gets a higher priority than normal traffic.
We recommend you enable this function when you are running the video or audio application.
Enable or disable QoS. The QoS function improves the transmission performance of video or audio traffic by optimizing the scheduling policy between the AP and the clients.

6.4
Configure Dynamic DNS
otee The Dynamic DNS function is only available in AP Router and AP Client Router (WISP Client) Mode.
The main function of Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is mapping the fixed domain name to dynamic IP address.
When a device connects to the internet through PPPoE or Dynamic IP, the WAN IP address it gets is not fixed, which is inconvenient for the internet users to access the servers in the local area network through IP address. With Dynamic DNS function enabled, users can access servers using a fixed domain name.
The DDNS server will establish a mapping table about the dynamic IP address and the fixed domain name. When the WAN IP address of the device changes, it will make an update request to the specified DDNS server, and then the DDNS server will update the mapping relation between the IP address and the domain name. Therefore, whenever the WAN IP address changes, users on the internet can still access the servers in the local area network using a fixed, easy-to-remember domain name.
The DDNS function that serves as the client of DDNS service must work with DDNS server. Register an account to DDNS service provider (NO-IP, Dyndns or Comexe) first.

Характеристики Auranet EAP

Комплектация Auranet EAP110

Начну с комплектации.Сегодня у меня на столе две точки доступа TP-LINK, призванные сместить лидеров рынка корпоративного Wi-Fi с пьедестала почета (вендоров не называю специально). Честно говоря, впервые с ними сталкиваюсь так близко, буду изучать вместе с вами.

Точка доступа поставляется в картонной коробке, с документацией на английском и русском языках, на CD-диске мануалы по настройке и инсталляции точек доступа, непосредственно сам софтовый EAP Controller (при установке лучше скачать свежий с сайта производителя, на момент обзора это была версия EAP Controller_V2.4.4 от 29/06/16, ссылка для скачивания http://www.tp-linkru.com/res/down/soft/EAP_Controller_V2.4.4.zip). В коробке, помимо самой точки доступа, находится PoE-адаптер T240100-2-POE, комплект для монтажа на стену или потолок, пластиковые дюбели и винты. Комплектация позволяет начать установку прямо на месте, без захода в магазин стройматериалов.

Комплектация Auranet EAP220

Комплектация похожа на младшего брата, исключение составляет блок питания — вместо адаптера PoE предлагается адаптер для подключения к сети 220В T120150-2C1, на выходе адаптера 12 В/1.5. Наличие адаптера постоянного тока позволит вам не использовать PoE-коммутатор (дополнительные расходы!), а подключать точку рядом с розеткой.

Подключение к локальной сети точек Auranet

Подключение не вызывает вопросов — EAP110 можно подключить к порту 10/100 Мбит, EAP210 при подключении к PoE требует ТОЛЬКО UTPcat5 и выше, со всеми 8 жилами (необходимо для передачи питания по стандарту 802.3af ), т.е. GigabitEthernet. EAP210 можно запитать как от адаптера питания, так и от PoE-коммутатора или PoE-инжектора.

Подключение питания EAP110:

1. С помощью кабеля Ethernet соедините порт ETHERNET точки доступа ЕАР110 с портом РОЕ на РоЕ-адаптере. Длина кабеля не должна превышать 100 м.
2. С помощью кабеля Ethernet подключите коммутатор к порту LAN PoE- адаптера.
3. Подключите кабель питания к соответствующему разъёму РоЕ-адаптера, затем подключите его к электророзетке.

Подключение питания EAP120/EAP220

Питание точки доступа EAP120/EAP220 может осуществляться с помощью питающего устройства (например, PoE-коммутатора) или адаптера питания.

С помощью PoE-коммутатора

1. С помощью кабеля Ethernet подключите РоЕ-коммутатор к порту ETHERNET точки доступа EAP120/EAP220.

2. Нажмите кнопку ON/OFF на точке доступа EAP120/EAP220.

С помощью адаптера питания

1. Подключите адаптер питания к соответствующему разъёму на точке доступа EAP120/EAP220, затем подключите адаптер питания к электророзетке.

2. Нажмите кнопку ON/OFF на точке доступа EAP120/EAP220.

Настройка EAP120/EAP220

При подключении точек доступа к маршрутизатору с настроенным DHCP-сервером точки сразу получают IP-адрес и начинают вещать в эфир. SSID уже сконфигурированы на устройствах, по-умолчанию разрешено подключение без пароля. Имя сети имеет такой вид: TP-LINK_2.4GHz_594AC5 — указание на производителя, рабочая частота Wi-Fi и последние 6 знаков MAC-адреса. Преобразование адресов NAT выполняется на главном маршрутизаторе, отвечающем за подключение к сети провайдера, беспроводные клиенты подключаются в режиме беспроводного моста, как будто напрямую в маршрутизатор. Получение IP-адреса можно оставить динамическое, в таком случае, для того, чтобы узнать, как подключиться к WEB-интерфейсу точки, вам придется обратиться к интерфейсу маршрутизатора, там по MAC-адресу выяснить, какой же адрес получила точка доступа TP-Link. Институтом IEEE за TP-Link закреплен MAC- адрес, который начинается на c4e9.84,  поэтому на маршрутизаторе даем команду

sh arp | i c4e9.84
Internet  192.168.1.59           48   c4e9.8459.4ac5  ARPA   GigabitEthernet0/1
Internet  192.168.1.60           15   c4e9.84b6.de48  ARPA   GigabitEthernet0/1

Зная IP-адреса устройств, мы уже можем к ним подключиться для внесения изменений в конфигурацию.

Подключившись через любой WEB-браузер по IP-адресу, вводим логин и пароль по-умолчанию: admin, admin. Сразу же меняем на свои (не забываем, что у нас Wi-Fi по-умолчанию без пароля, злоумышленник может попасть в вашу сеть без вашего ведома). Далее идем в меню Network-IP Settings-Static, выставляем желаемый адрес для сетевого устройства, маску сети и шлюз (адрес вашего маршрутизатора) и нажимаем Save. Точка доступа сразу же становится доступной по адресу, который вы указали.

Для того, чтобы настройить сеть Wi-Fi, необходимо, в первую очередь, изменить настройки регулятивного домена. По-умолчанию выставлен United States,необходио выбрать регион Russia.

После этого идем меню Wireless-Wireles Setting, с помощью переключателя 2.4GHZ/5GHZ попадаем в настройки каждого из двух диапазонов, поддерживаемых точкой доступа EAP220. Настройки SSID для каждого диапазона задаются отдельно. Можно выбрать Wireless Mode (802.11b/g/n mixed, 802.11b/g, 802.11n only), ширину канала (20/40 MHz, 20 MHz, 40 MHz), выбрать канал (с первого по тринадцатый либо Auto) и максимальную мощность точки доступа (в Регионе Россия — 20 dBm или 100мВт).

В автоматическом режиме точка выбрала почему-то 7 канал, что неверно, так как этот канал не является непересекающимся (всего в диапазоне 2.4 МГц три таких канала — 1, 6 и 11).12 и 13 канал также советую не использовать, так как не все беспроводные устройства «знают» о таких каналах, поэтому связи не будет. Для определения наиболее свободного канала переходим в меню Wireless -Rogue AP Detection для определения каналов, на которых работают соседские точки доступа. Жмем Scan, видим список соседей:

На скрине видно, что в нашем случае предпочтительней будет выбрать первый канал для работы как наиболее свободный от соседей. Нажимаем кнопку Save для сохранения внесенных изменений.

Далее переходим к редактированию SSID (имя нашей беспроводной сети).

SSID Name — имя сети

Wireless VLAN ID — используется в корпоративных сетях для того, чтобы применять особенные политики безопасности к трафику беспроводных клиентов и для ограничения широковещательного домена.

SSID Broadcast — разрешить транслировать  название беспроводной сети, снятие галочки делает вашу сеть «скрытой», к ней смогут подключиться только те, кто знает ее название и пароль.

Security Mode — выбор типа алгоритма обеспечения безопасности сети Wi-Fi (None, WEP, WPA-Interprise, WPA-PSK). Доступны версии WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK с типами шифрования TKIP или AES. Можно подключить внешний радиус-сервер для авторизации пользователей на нем (каждый пользователь будет заходит под своим логином и паролем).

Portal — настройка HotSpot для пользователей, которым надо показать рекламу перед предоставлением доступа в сеть. Возможно предоставление доступа с паролем и без, через внешний сервере авторизации — radius. Подробно настраивается меню Wireless-Portal.

SSID Isolation — возможность изолировать траффик беспроводных клиентов, для того, чтобы они не попадали в локальную сеть. Доступ только в сеть Интернет для пользователей «гостевой» сети. 

Load Balance — ограничение максимального количества клиентов, которые могут подключиться к данной точке доступа. По-умолчанию, ограничений нет.

Всего можно добавить до 8ми SSID на каждый диапазон, все клиенты будут работать в одном канале, но для каждой сети можно настроить свои ограничения по трафику (настраивается на маршрутизаторе с помощью списков контроля доступа и функционала ограничения скорости). На точке доступа скорость для клиентов не ограничить.

Еще полезным будет ограничить список подключаемых устройств по MAC-адресам (настраивается в меню MAC Filtering), это дополнительно повысит безопасность вашей сети.

В меню Scheduler можно задать расписание вещания точек доступа, причем это можно делать как для каждой точки в отдельности, так и для отдельных SSID. Настраивается время активности либо неактивности точки по дням недели, отдельно на выходные, на каждый день или произвольно с указанием с времени работы  начала и окончания. Не забудьте настроить клиент точного времени для того, чтобы расписание работало корректно (меню System-Time Settings)

В настройках беспроводной сети также есть меню QoS — настройка качества обслуживания в зависимости от типа трафика и приоритетов. Весь трафик можно разделить на 4 категории, задав каждой из них свои приоритет

На беспроводных точках доступа серии Auranet можно отключать световой индикатор работы, настраивается в меню Managment — LED On/Off. Также здесь настраиваются такие параметры как  отправка логов на сервер или по почте, конфигурируется доступ по протоколам HTTPS, SSH и настройка SNMP read для отправки оповещений на внешний сервер сбора данных о состоянии устройства.

Для обновления прошивки устройства необходимо сначала скачать ее с сайта вендора, а потом загрузить через меню System-Firmware Upgrade. Важно — во время обновления прошивки не выключать устройство от питания!

На этом закончим обзор точек доступа TP-Link Auranet EAP110 и EAP220 в режиме Standalone, перейдем к настройке с помощью контроллера.

Настройка точек доступа TP-Link Auranet с помощью утилиты управления EAP

Контроллер точек доступа необходим для управления большим количеством точек доступа одновременно. Единый интерфейс для массового изменения настроек, сбора и просмотра статистики, работы с HotSpot, управления политиками доступа и безопасности.

1. Контроллер Auranet абсолютно бесплатный, распространяется с сайта вендора
2. Программный контроллер доступен только для семейства операционных систем Windows (WinXP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10/Server2008 (32/64bit)/Server2012 (64bit)).
3. Используйте последнюю версию контроллера, там исправлены ошибки ПО, обнаруженные в ранних выпусках.
4. После установки контроллера Auranet вам будет предложено обновить софт на точках доступа до актуального.

Установка не занимает много времени, единственное, что удивило — контроллер при размере установщика 92 Мб просит зарезервировать для его работы аж 4Гб свободного места.

По-умолчанию, софт устанавливается в папку Program Files (x86) на диске C, что свидетельствует о том, что нативной поддержки 64-битных систем в нем нет. После установки размер папки составил 188 Мб, немного.

Запускаем ярлык на рабочем столе — EAP Controller, происходит первичная инициализация, запуск необходимых служб и баз данных

После запуска вас перекинет в браузер для выполнения первоначальной настройки — SSID сети, пароля, создание аккаунта администратора.

При входе в интерфейс контроллера вы увидите знакомую картинку, если уже работали с точками доступа Ubiquiti семейства UniFi — карта локации, с точками доступа, которые вам необходимо разместить на этой карте.

Первым делом, нам нужно передать управлению точками доступа контроллеру — для этого нажимаем кнопку Pending  и Batch Adopt, для того, чтобы ассоциировать обе точки одновременно

Выскочит предложение о вводе логина и пароля — необходимо ввести данные администратора. Точки доступа в случае успешной передачи управления появятся в меню Access Points. Необходимо обновить прошивку на них. Для этого жмеv стрелочку вверх напротив точки доступа.

Указываем на заранее скачанные файлы прошивок (необходимо предварительно их разархивировать). Для EAP 110 это файл вида TL-EAP110v1_eu_1.0.2_[20160405-rel51328]_up_signed.bin, для EAP 220 — TL-EAP220v1_eu_2.0.2_[20160401-rel65964]_up_signed.bin. В процессе обновления не выключайте питание на точках доступа. 

После успешного обновления обе точки доступа будут раздавать ту беспроводную сеть, которую мы объявили при первом включении контроллера.

Дальше интерфейс повторяет возможности UniFi Controller, опишу только основные моменты настройки меню:

Map-Label — позволяет разместить точки доступа на плане для наглядности, с помощью  кнопки «шестеренки»получить доступ к быстрой статистике (MAC Address, IP Address, Model, Version, CPU, Memory,Uptime, статистика по трафику проводного интерфейса LAN, беспроводного Radio) изменить базовые настройки точки доступа (Name, IP Setting,Radio, Load Balance,WLANS, Rogue AP Detection, Forget this AP), статистику по подключенным клиентам — меню User и Guest.

Map-Details показывает детальную статистику (Name, MAC, IP, Channel, Users, Guests).

Map-Coverage показывает приблизительную область покрытия на карте.

Statistics — отображает в графическом виде обработанные данные по количеству клиентов на каждую SSID, на каждую точку, суммарный трафик скачанной и полученной информации, отображение на шкале времени, позволяет выявить активных пользователей.

Access Points  — предоставляет доступ к интерфейсам управления каждой точкой по отдельности, информации об MAC-адресе, IP-адресе, статусе, модели, версии прошивки, принадлежности WLAN Group, Radio 2G, Radio 5G. Кнопки Action позволяют выполнить быстрые действия — Locate (показать на карте конкретную точку доступа), Reboot — перезагрузить точку доступа, Upgrade — обновить прошивку, Move to Site — перекинуть точку доступа в другую локацию (по умолчанию — Default).

Clients — отображает информацию о подключенных клиентах. Доступна информация — MAC Address, Hostname, IP Address, Access Point, SSID, User/Guest, 2G/5G, Download, Upload ,Rate(Mbps), Active Time, Signal, Action относительно беспроводного клиента. Action позволяет заблокировать клиента (запретить доступ к сети).

Insights — данное меню предоставляет доступ к справочным данным, собранным во время работы контроллера. Здесь есть статистика по всем подключавшимся клиентам, информация о соседних точках доступа (доверенные и недоверенные), информация о последних гостевых подключениях.

Log — журнал событий системы.

Настройка беспроводных сетей с помощью EAP Controller

Для одновременной настройки всех точек доступа нам необходимо открыть нижнюю панель Wireless Setting. Там три вкладки — Basic Wireless Setting, Advanced Wireless Setting и Band Steering. Последняя функция позволяет разгрузить диапазон 2.4 ГГЦ в двухдиапазонных точках доступа и принудить устройства, поддерживающие связь в 5 ГГц, подключиться к сети 5 ГГЦ (в таком случае ваши сети на обоих диапазонах должны иметь одинаковый SSID и пароль). К сожалению, в интерфейсе нет возможности ограничить количество клиентов, которых следует подключить к диапазону 5 ГГЦ. Скорее всего, за это будет отвечать функция Load Balance.

Настроим для теста 3 сети — telecom-sales_2GHz, telecom-sales_5GHz и telecom-sales_guest — отдельная сеть для клиентов в 2.4 ГГц диапазоне, в 5 ГГц и гостевая сеть с запретом доступа к локальной сети, включенным Band Steering и ограничением скорости в 1Мбит/с, с запретом общаться клиентам между собой.

Жмем синий плюсик с надписью Add, заполняем поля как на скриншоте ниже:

Жмем Apply — информация о новой сети автоматически распространилась на активные точки доступа, которые прошли процедуру присоединения к контроллеру — Adopting.

На скриншоте видно правило Access Control Rule — эта настройка отвечает за блокировку доступа клиентов к локальной сети. None — без ограничений.

Тоже самое выполняем для сети в 5 ГГц диапазоне — ставим переключатель в 5GHz жмем Add.

Настройка гостевой сети на EAP 110/220:

Нам придется создать 2 одинаковых SSID в каждом диапазоне с одинаковыми настройками — чтобы заработал Band Steering.

На скриншоте видно,что правило Access Control Rule мы изменили на Default.

Данное правило настраивается отдельно, в нем мы указываем запрещенные ресурсы локальной сети (меню wireless controll — access control). 

Указываем Rate Limit — ограничение скорости в килобитах, значение для Upload  и Download равно 1024. Тоже самое делаем в 5 ГГц диапазоне.

Проверяем, что все настройки применились.

Теперь мы можем подключать к сети наших клиентов, основные настройки выполнены.
