EnsembleAnd IP management

Management IP (MIP)

Centralized management of up to 10 Access Points without the

need of separate wireless controller.

Because the access point is Business Central Cloud ready, the DHCP client is

On by default. This means that the AP will request an IP address from your

DHCP server and may be tricky to find.

However, we have incorporated a solution in the AP’s software. We have enabled

“Bonjour” advertising by default so that you can find the access point in you

network even if the IP address is not known.

Bonjour is a software feature that allows the wireless access point and its

services to be discovered via mDNS (multicast DNS), the component advertises

to the network and responds to queries from supported clients (mainly

Macintosh.)

When a new Bonjour-enabled AP is attached to the network, any bonjour client

can discover and access any of the service available on the AP.

DHCP enabled

Connecting the AP to the network.

The Bonjour service can be deactivated/activated from “Configuration / System / Bonjour

Using bonjour

On an Apple computer start the browser Safari.

Go to “Safari/Preferences”

Using bonjour


Go to “Safari/Preferences” and, under “Advanced,” check the “ include Bonjour in Bookmarks & Favorites.”

Using bonjour


Go to “Safari/Preferences” and, under “Advanced,” check the “ include Bonjour in Bookmarks & Favorites.”

Now we can head to the “Bookmarks” and then “Bonjour.”

NOTE:

At the time these materials were being

prepared the “Bonjour” name that was

advertised is “wap668800,” but this field

will display the host name of the access

point “netgearxxxxxx” where “xx=last 3

values of the MAC address

Click on the access point.

Using bonjour


Now we can login and start managing our access point.

Now we can head to the “Bookmarks” and then “Bonjour.” Click on the access point.

Another way to find the AP is to make note of the AP’s MAC address.

Using bonjour

And issue an “arp –a” from a command prompt, on a PC, or from “Terminal” on a Mac.

NOTE:

The computer in which you are checking the “arp”

cache, as shown here, must have the record of

the AP at the time that it requested an address.

Otherwise it will not show up.

Unplugging and reconnecting the AP to the

network should initiate the discovery broadcast

which will populate the arp cache.

AP #1 (Dominant AP)

172.31.99.8

Once you identify the IP address of the access points, login into the

AP that you want to use as the dominant device of the Ensemble.

I have 4 APs that I wish to Ensemble on my LAN. Their addresses

range from 172.31.99.8 to 172.31.99.11.

I choose the AP with the IP address 172.31.99.8 to be the

dominant AP..

The default password is “password.”

AP #1 (Dominant AP)

“Ensemble” works by matching a unique identifier which

must be common to all of the access points that you

want sharing in the configuration.

In this case I will call this Ensemble group “Chamber”

The access points that get configured with the same

Ensemble identifier will commence an election process for

dominance, all things being equal a dominant AP will be

determined by the lowest MAC address.

However we have the option to make this AP the dominant

agent by entering a high priority value.

In a case where the “next-standing” dominant AP fails we

could give other access points “graded” values to assign an

order for assuming dominance over the group.

NOTE:

The dominant AP will distribute its configuration to all standing

members of the Ensemble.

In the event that the “Dominant” AP fails, this duty will go to the

next ranking priority member, as stipulated by its MAC address

in combination with the value entered in the priority field.

This value serves as a tie-breaker and pretty much guarantees

predictable priority ranking among the Ensemble members.

After entering a value click on “Start” and then “Apply.”

AP #1 (Dominant AP)

One of the most convenient aspects of “Ensemble” is the fact that it is

possible to “address” the group (regardless of which AP is currently

dominant) by using a single additional IP address.

Simply assign an available IP address from the LAN on this field.

You only need to do this on the “dominant” AP.

Click on “Secure Ensemble.”

NOTE:

The AP’s own IP address will remain unchanged.

This AP will, in fact, respond to two different IP

addresses.

If you were to “arp –a” you will get two IP addresses

from this AP’s MAC address.

AP #1 (Dominant AP)

If you don’t want the “configuration data” to be

readable by others as it traverses the network, all

you have to do is enter a password and enable

“Secure Mode.”

NOTE:

You MUST enter the same password on all

the access points that you want to have as

members of a particular Ensemble.

The Re-authentication time must also match.

Be mindful of the notice that appears when

you click “Apply.”

The notice basically states that if you have different sets of Ensembles using the same Ensemble name but different passphrases they will

not be aware of each other because the messages that propagate the configurations will have different encryption …but there is the

possibility that the IP address that was set on the previous step could somehow be shared by all the subset ensembles using the same

name, which would not be a good thing. So please make sure that there is no IP conflicts.

Best practice is to give each ensemble a unique name.

AP #1 (Dominant AP)

We are joining this AP to our Ensemble-group

“Chamber.”

We gave our previous AP the highest possible priority value of 255 to make sure it is elected dominant by

the ensemble.

I want this AP to be the “next dominant” access point in this group. Which is to say that if “ensemble1” fails

“ensemble2” will take on the roll. I will give it the value of 200

After entering our value click on “Start” and then “Apply.”

We don’t need to go into management since we already have a dominant AP in the “Ensemble.”

We can go directly to “Secured Ensemble” to set our passphrase.

You will need to configure each AP with the same “Ensemble” name and passphrase in

order to get them to join the ensemble “Chamber.”

Ensemble

CONDITIONS :

All the access points and the Management IP

address must be on the same L2 network.

All AP’s in the same cluster must be of the

same model.

All AP’s in the same cluster must have same

country code.

All AP’s in the same cluster must have the

same security passphrase.

Once “Ensemble mode” is enabled there will

be an election process.

The priority field will help determine the

Dominant AP.

All things being equal, the lowest MAC AP will

be elected as the dominant AP.

This AP will also respond to the “Management

IP” address.

Any and all configurations made to the

dominant AP (regardless of which IP address

is used to reach the GUI) will be pushed to the

rest of the APs in the Ensemble.

Any configuration made to other APs through

their management interfaces will be lost as

soon as the revision is made and the

dominant’s AP configuration is re-instated to

the Ensemble

Connectivity:

Discovery packets are transmitted every 10 seconds to determine if a configuration

synchronization is required.

An AP will PERMANENTLY be dropped out of an Ensemble if it loses connectivity to the

other APs in the group for 1 minute (AP does not get a discovery packet for 60

seconds.)

If an AP loses connectivity and joins the cluster again before the AP is dropped from the

cluster, any configuration changes that occurred during the loss of connectivity will be

propagated to it once connectivity resumes.

When two disjoint Ensembles (whether because of passphrase or name) are joined for

the first time, the Ensemble with the greater number of members becomes the dominant

Ensemble. The configuration on the dominant Ensemble overwrites the configuration of

the other cluster members.

Related to the channel assignment

under the settings we can determine

how much interference is acceptable

before changing the channels.. we

can also determine how often these

changes can be made.

Simple and effective.

Ensemble assigns different radio channels to be used by the ensemble APs to reduce mutual interference or interference with neighboring AP’s outside of the group It maps APs

to a radio channel and measures any interference levels in the continuously.

If RF interference is detected, Ensemble automatically re-assigns some (or all) of the APs to new channels as per an efficiency algorithm.

The frequency of these channel re-assignments is user configurable with a default value of once a day.

Ensemble uses the signal strength and operating channel of any detected AP as a means to find the optimal channel to use with the goal to reduce the aggregate interference in

the wireless neighborhood.

The previous channel assignment is stored for use in case the interference reduction using the new algorithm is higher than a particular threshold. Channel re-assignment must

be evaluated between dynamic channel change and frequency of channel change.
