Local Switching - Samsung WEC8500 Operation Manual

Local Switching

The APC provides the local switching function to support a service to an individual
network such as a branch office. The local switching function enables an AP to be
connected to WAN for external connection in an individual network where the APC is not
installed. The control packet of an AP and a wireless terminal is processed in the
centralized APC and a general data packet is processed in an individual network.
Therefore, if the tunnel mode of the WLAN is changed to local switching, part of the data
packet forwarding process performed by the APC is performed by the AP.
The following AP functions must be configured in the WLAN which is configured for local
switching:
1
2
3
The functions above are activated only for the APs added to the remote AP group.
Configuration using CLI
The procedure of local switching configuration is as follows:
1
