• One redundant wireless controller
• Four VLANs: VLAN 10, VLAN 20, VLAN 30, and VLAN 40
• Three SSIDs: SSID 1, SSID 2, and SSID 3
In this scenario, the VLANs and SSIDs are used to accommodate traffic for different user
groups in a school that is spread out over two buildings.
• Building 1:
- SSID 1 in VLAN 10 for staff traffic
- SSID 2 in VLAN 20 for middle school students
- SSID 3 in VLAN 30 for guests
• Building 2:
- SSID 1 in VLAN 10 for staff traffic
- SSID 2 in VLAN 40 for high school students
- SSID 3 in VLAN 30 for guests

Figure 16. Example: Advanced network with redundancy
The access points and wireless controllers are connected in the same subnet and the same
VLAN and use the same IP address range that is assigned for that subnet. The core switch is
located between the wireless controllers and the PoE switches, to which the access points
are connected. The core switch provides Internet access.
