AP is an access point used by wireless terminals to access a wired network. It is equivalent to a bridge for communication

Mode
(Optional) The AP mode can be switched between the fit AP mode and the fat AP mode
according to requirements.
switch2fat
Switches the mode of a specified AP to the fat AP mode in
AC configuration mode on the AC device.
ap-mode
Configures the fit or fat AP mode in global configuration

Configuration Effect
On the AC device, run the switch2fat command in AC configuration mode to switch the mode of an online AP to the fat
AP mode.
On the AC device, run the ap-mode command in global configuration mode to switch between the fit AP mode and the
fat AP mode.

Command
ap-mode { fit | fat [ dhcp ] }
Parameter
Description
fit: indicates that the AP mode is switched to the fit AP mode.
fat: indicates that the AP mode is switched to the fat AP mode.
dhcp: If the ap-mode fat command contains this parameter, the AP obtains the IP address through DHCP
by default after the AP mode is switched to the fat AP mode; otherwise, the AP uses the static IP address by
default after the AP mode is switched to the fat AP mode.
Defaults
None
Command
Mode
AP global configuration mode
Usage Guide
After the AP mode is switched between the fit and fat AP modes, the AP must be restarted to ensure the
configuration consistency.
For WALL-APs supplied by Ruijie Networks, when the fat AP mode is used, the default IP address of
the rear wired network interface (connected to the PoE switching device) is
192.168.110.1/255.255.255.0, and the default IP address of the front wired network interface (Ethernet
interface) is 192.168.111.1/255.255.255.0.
If ap-mode fat dhcp is configured, when the AP mode is switched to the fat AP mode, the IP address
is obtained through DHCP by default. After the AP is restarted, if related configuration is not available,
the IP address is still obtained through DHCP by default. In addition, the following two issues should
also be noted:
1. If ap-mode fat dhcp is configured for the WALL-AP, only the IP address of the rear wired network
interface is obtained through DHCP, and the front wired network interface uses the static IP address by
default. 2. In fat AP mode, the ap-mode fat dhcp and ap-mode fat commands cannot be mutually
switched, and must be switched to the fit AP mode first.
Verification
On the AP, run the show ap-mode command to check the current mode of the AP.

Configuration Guide Configuring STA Management
2 Configuring STA Management
2.1 Overview
STA Management (STAMG) implements station (STA) management, including STA access control management and STA
event notification. Event notification is mainly used to serve other function modules. Applications of the STAMG functions are
as follows:
The dynamic blacklist is used on a security-sensitive network to prevent user attacks.
The STA limit is used when the number of STAs exceeds the AP capacity.
Load balancing is used when STAs need to be evenly distributed to multiple APs.
Association control is used in the E-bag scenario.

Description
Association Control
Associates secondary STAs with APs in the same control zone if the primary STA is associated with
these APs.
2.3.1 Association Control
Association control is a method for controlling association behaviors of wireless STAs. STAs are divided into two groups. In
each group, only one STA is defined as the primary STA, and the other STAs are defined as secondary STAs. The
secondary STAs must follow the association behaviors of the primary STA. That is, the primary and secondary STAs must be
associated with the same wireless network. In this way, association behaviors of wireless STAs can be properly controlled.
Working Principle
The coverage area of a wireless network is divided into several association control zones. One or several APs are deployed
in each zone, and wireless terminals are divided into groups. The control zones that can be associated with the terminals are
strictly controlled. For example, a school has many classrooms, and a wireless AP is deployed in each classroom. Radio

Configuration Guide Configuring STA Management
signals travel in the space.When E-bags are used in two adjacent classrooms at the same time, the ideal condition is that all
the teacher and student terminals are associated with the AP of their own classrooms so that the two classrooms will not
interfere with each other. In this case, a classroom must be defined as an association control zone and all the teacher and
student terminals in a classroom must be associated with the AP of the classroom.
Association control aims to prevent terminals from associating with a wireless network at random when multiple wireless
networks are available for selection. The following are prerequisites for network configurations:
Based on the pre-configured association control zones and package information, the AC pushes the information about
primary STAs in all packages to all APs in the association control zones and generates a whitelist of primary STAs on
these APs.
The information about primary STAs in all packages is available in the AP whitelist. Therefore, before the association
control function is enabled, the primary STA must associate itself with the corresponding SSID in the specified control
zone. After that, the AC pushes all corresponding secondary STAs to all APs in the association control zone and
generates a whitelist according to the configuration of the primary STA package to allow the secondary STAs to
associate themselves with the control zone.
When the primary STA is de-associated from the control zone, all the secondary STAs will also be de-associated and
deleted from the AP whitelist.
The above process can be summarized as follows: The secondary STAs must follow the primary STA to associate
themselves with an AP in the same control zone, with which the primary STA is associated. Only the APs of this control
zone have a whitelist of the corresponding secondary STAs. This ensures that STAs are not randomly associated with
APs.
