Summit WM, Getting Started Guide

2.1.1.4 Intrusion detection

The Summit WM Switch allows you to configure Altitude APs to detect rogue
access points on the network by scanning the radio frequency (RF) space at
specific intervals. Scan results are then forwarded to the Summit WM Switch; the
Summit WM Switch processes and presents the data centrally. Rogue detection
data can be viewed via the Extreme Networks Summit WM-Series Console.
2.1.1.5 Automatic assignment of IP addresses to the client
devices
The Summit WM Switch has built-in DHCP server that assigns IP addresses to
the client devices. The Summit WM Switch is also capable of working with an
external DHCP server.

2.1.1.6 Web authentication

The Summit WM Switch has a built-in Captive Portal capability that allows Web
authentication (Web redirection) to take place. The Summit WM Switch is also
capable of working with external Captive Portal.

2.1.2 Altitude AP

Altitude APs are wireless LAN access points that bridge the network traffic
between wireless devices and the Ethernet LAN.
2.1.3 Summit WM-Series WLAN Solution topology
and network elements
The following figure illustrates a typical configuration with a single Summit WM
Switch and two Altitude APs, each supporting a wireless device. A RADIUS
server on the network provides user authentication, and a DHCP server assigns
IP addresses to the Altitude APs. Network inter-connectivity is provided by the
infrastructure routing and switching devices.
