DWS-1008 User's Manual
The image below shows examples of direct and network DWL-8220AP access point
connections.
This example has the following configuration requirements for the APs:
• AP1 is directly connected to the switch. The DWS-1008 needs port 2 configured as a
directly connected AP.
• AP2 is connected through a Layer 2 network to the switch. The switch needs a Distributed
AP configuration in order to boot and configure AP2. The Layer 2 network must provide
DHCP services to AP2.
• AP3 is connected through a Layer 3 network (Layer 2 networks separated by IP routers) to
the switch. The switch needs a Distributed AP configuration in order to boot and configure
AP3. The Layer 2 network that AP3 is attached to must provide DHCP services. The network's
DNS server must have a wlan-switch.mynetwork.com entry pointing to the DWS-1008 in the
network.
• AP4 is dual-homed. It has two connections, both through an intermediate Layer 2 network
to the switch. The switch needs a Distributed AP configuration in order to boot and configure
AP4.
