Simple Configuration of Huawei Access Switch

Huawei access switches can be configured via CLI to manage VLANs, assign ports, enable SSH/Telnet, and integrate with access controllers for enterprise networks.Accessing the SwitchConnect to the switch using a console cable or SSH session.Log in with the default or existing username and password.Enter system view mode to start configuration:CodeCopy system-view User Management and Remote AccessCreate a new user and assign access privileges:CodeCopy aaa[Huawei-aaa] local-user USERNAME password irreversible PASSWORD[Huawei-aaa] local-user USERNAME service-type ssh[Huawei-aaa] local-user USERNAME privilege level 15 Enable SSH or Telnet for remote management:CodeCopy stelnet server enable ssh server enable Save configuration to make changes permanent:CodeCopy save VLAN ConfigurationCreate VLANs:CodeCopy vlan batch 10 20 Assign ports to VLANs in access mode:CodeCopy interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1[Huawei-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type access[Huawei-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port default vlan 10[Huawei-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit Verify VLAN assignment:CodeCopy display vlan display interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 Advanced FeaturesConfigure Eth-Trunk for link aggregation:CodeCopy interface Eth-Trunk 1[Huawei-Eth-Trunk1] mode lacp-static[Huawei-Eth-Trunk1] quit Enable LLDP for topology discovery:CodeCopy lldp enable lldp message-transmission interval 30 Integration with Access Controllers (AC) and APsAssign VLANs for control and service channels when connecting APs through the switch:Example: VLAN5 for control, VLAN10 for service traffic.Configure the interface connected to the AC with a service VLAN and CapWAP source IP:CodeCopy interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1[Huawei-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port link-type trunk[Huawei-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] port trunk allow-pass vlan 5 10 Ensure the AC and APs are reachable and open required UDP ports (e.g., 2000) for management traffic.Verification and MaintenanceCheck interface and VLAN status:CodeCopy display interface brief display vlan View logs for troubleshooting:CodeCopy display logbuffer Exit system view and log out after configuration:CodeCopy quit logout This configuration ensures that the Huawei access switch is properly set up for VLAN segmentation, port management, remote access, and integration with enterprise wireless networks, while maintaining security and operational visibility .
