2. Agenda Forskellen på Meru og alle de andre producenter.
Vores produkt portofølge.
Hvilken produkter til hvilke typer af krav.
Eksempler på nogle typiske konfigurationer.
NSP – Support – Partner Status
Og forhåbentlig en lang række spørgsmål undervejs.

3. Kort om WiFi og hvorfor Meru

4. Radio Physics Review
Transmission on channels (similar to individual wires)
Typically multiple channels available at once
Channel is a shared medium (like a hub)
Contention for access
Radio is half-duplex
Throughput is divided amongst all wireless devices
Airtime is most precious resource
Transmission subject to RF interference

5. WiFi Review – Roaming Wired LAN (Ethernet) Channel 1 Channel 6
Station B
BSSID=xx:xx:xx:xx

Channel 6

6. WiFi Review – Roaming
Station A is associated with AP 1 and decides to move towards AP 2.

7. Channel design for service
1st kanal lag til interne brugere, 2nd kanal lag er til VoIP. 3rd kanal lag er til private enheder

19. Større sager og tilbud Non Standard Pricing = NSP
Priser via disti samt Eivind Lunde
Deal registration via partner portalen.
Denne kommer så til Eivind
Konfigurationer typisk via Brian

20. Support generelt Support.merunetworks.com, skal have en konto
Mail til og der oprettes en ticket.
Hvis hardware fejl sender support sagen videre til RMA
Med controller replacement aftale sendes ny controller til kunde, hvorefter kunde sender den defekte retur. Der kommer en ”tom” controller som kunde/partner skal sætte i drift......
På AP’er er der lifetime warrenty, med sende ind service, efter RMA godkendelse i support.

26. Standard omni-directional antenne
Beam Forming
Sender signalet I retning af klienten. Giver øget dækning ved samme båndbredde
Fordelen er når klienter befinder sig ved kanten af et AP’s dækning
Specielt vigtigt for MU-MIMO
Men men, der er begrænset effekt når AP og klient er tætte (RSSI > -60)
Klient 1
Klient 2
Meru 11ac
Standard omni-directional antenne

27. Design af Meru net

28. Configuration Topology
Goal is to push wireless service parameters out to access points
“Profiles” contain sets of configuration parameters
The arrows show information flow
Not necessarily a 1-to-1 mapping between profiles
Actually ESS-Interface Tables

29. Best Practice - kanal valg ,, Virtual Cell ol..
Check at parent BSSID er ens pr. radio interface
Via ESS-AP table
Fra SD 5.3 kan vi på AP1000/AP332 vælge mellem 2 typer af Virtuel Cell:
VC = shared BSSID (default setting)
VP = privat BSSID

30. Check ap kommandoer m.m. Show ap-neighbor (4 kolonner L1,L2,L3,L4)
Show ap-neighbor ap-id interface-id
Show ap-neighbor 5 2 (ap-id 5 og interface 2 (5Ghz))
Station dashboard: signal strength
På radio diagnostics kan noice level ses
Til sammen giver det SnR. Helst over ved voice
Radio dashboard: channel utilization
Packet loss / retry

31. Backup af controllere Show controller
Copy running-config startup-config
Copy running-config filnavn
Filnavn = for eksempel dato-v-SD-version.cfg
cfg
Copy running-config ftp://kunde cfg
Så kan vi begynde at opgradere

32. Opgradering af controllere
Show controller
Show flash (viser hvilke software image der er på controller)
Copy .
Filnavn = meru MC1500-rpm.tar
Show flash
Configure terminal -> Auto-ap-upgrade disable
Upgrade controller => reboot controller
Upgrade ap same all
Configure terminal -> Auto-ap-upgrade enable

33. Support og fejlsøgning

34. Support generelt
, også meget gerne på vores partner portal:
Mail til og der oprettes en ticket.
Hvis hardware fejl sender support sagen videre til RMA
Med controller replacement aftale sendes ny controller til kunde, hvorefter kunde sender den defekte retur. Der kommer en ”tom” controller som kunde/partner skal sætte i drift......
På AP’er er der lifetime warrenty, med sende ind service, efter RMA godkendelse i support.

Check Channel Utilization
Check Management Overhead
Ref: Dashboard-Radio-TopHalf-SD5.2.png & Dashboard-Radio-BottomHalf-SD5.2.png

43. SD - Filtering Packets
The built-in ethereal sniffer lets you filter packets.
Syntax:
-R primitive[[equivalence value]
No spaces are allowed in filter specification
Equivalences are: == (equal to), != (not equal to)
Capture only SIP packets:
name# capture-packets -R sip
Capture traffic from an IP address:
name# capture-packets -R ip.addr==
For more complex filtering, capture files to laptop and use Wireshark
