How to start Network deployment on WIS?

1.Organizational Planning

WIS Cloud Network supports branch-based network management. Therefore, make organizational planning before connecting the devices to WIS Cloud Network.

Choose Project Management > Create Project to create a project first.



Click the created project




Then Choose Management & Maintenance > Organizational to go to the Organizational page.  Add groups and sites to the organizational tree. Groups can be added at multiple levels. A site is the smallest unit of network management. One or more sites can be added under each branch. You can click Batch Import to bulk add sites.

2.Network Configuration

Choose Management & Maintenance > Configuration > Template to add configurations. A template can be configured in WLAN SSID configuration mode and CLI command set configuration mode. The WLAN SSID  configuration mode is used to configure WLANs such as SSIDs of cloud APs and the configuration does not  take effect on devices other than cloud APs. CLI command sets apply to all devices regardless of the device  type.

Figure 2 Adding a CLI Command Set



CLI command sets can be delivered in two modes: incremental CLI delivery and full replacement. APs do not  support the full replacement mode.

•        Incremental delivery: A device incrementally executes a user-defined CLI command set based on the current  configuration. This mode applies to incremental configuration scenarios.

•        Full replacement: The config.text configuration file of a device is directly replaced. After replacement, the  device automatically restarts for the configuration to take effect. This mode is suitable for the full replacement  of the system configuration or for scenarios, in which incremental configuration cannot meet requirements. For example, incremental configuration may cause network path changes (resulting in device disconnection), and configuration involves multiple interactions and command transformation (resulting in interaction and  command identification timeout).

3.Device Access

1) Adding a Device Choose My Network > My Site > Device Management to go to the Device Management page. Click Add  Device. Select the device type and enter the device name, or enter a device SN to add a device.

A device SN can be obtained in two ways:



2) Configuring Device Access Addresses

The device access addresses can be configured in two ways:





3) Device Go-Online

If a device can connect to WIS Cloud Network properly, you can view the device status on the Device  Management page of WIS Cloud Network 3–6 minutes after you complete the configuration above.
