Page 3: Deployment Scenarios
Deployment Scenarios Given below are some of the typical deployments - Deployment Scenario 1 – WS and AP are in the same subnet: This deployment may consist of a single or multiple WLAN Switches at the edge connected together in the same VLAN (subnet), and the APs are either directly connected or connected over a unmanaged switch. - Page 4 Deployment Scenario 2 - WS and AP are in different subnets (port-based routing): This deployment consists of a single WLAN switch connected to a L3 device (router). APs are connected to the core with port-based routing. This configuration does require L3 tunneling to accomplish seamless roaming across APs connected to different L3 only ports on the core.
- Page 5 Deployment Scenario 3 - WS and AP are in different subnets (vlan-based routing): This deployment consists of a single WLAN switch connected to a L2/3 device, and APs are connected to the core with VLAN-based routing (ensure that VLANs are properly set).
- Page 6 Deployment Scenario 4 - L3 Edge Peers: This deployment consists of multiple WLAN switches connected to a L3 core. APs are either directly connected to the WLAN switch or over a L2 or L3 device. This configuration does require L3 tunneling to accomplish seamless roaming. When Tunneling is used, an extra 20 bytes are added in the headers for encapsulation.
- Page 7 Notes: 1. Where to place the WS & AP? The Access Points need not be directly connected to the Switch to be managed by it; besides, the wireless switches need not be directly connected to each other to form a peer network. However, it is necessary that all the Switches and the Access Points are a part of the same Local Area Network.
