Page 25: Eap Authentication
Introduction 1.2.8.2 EAP Authentication The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) feature provides access points and their associated MU’s an additional measure of security for data transmitted over the wireless network. Using EAP, authentication between devices is achieved through the exchange and verification of certificates. EAP is a mutual authentication method whereby both the MU and AP are required to prove their identities.
Page 26: Keyguard Encryption
Use KeyGuard to shield the master encryption keys from being discovered through hacking. KeyGuard negotiation takes place between the access point and MU upon association. The access point can use KeyGuard with Motorola MUs. KeyGuard is only supported on Motorola MUs making it a Motorola proprietary security mechanism.
Page 27: Wpa2-Ccmp (802.11I) Encryption
Introduction 1-11 1.2.8.6 WPA2-CCMP (802.11i) Encryption WPA2 is a newer 802.11i standard that provides even stronger wireless security than Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WEP. Counter-mode/CBC-MAC Protocol (CCMP) is the security standard used by the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES serves the same function TKIP does for WPA-TKIP. CCMP computes a Message Integrity Check (MIC) using the proven Cipher Block Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC) technique.

4-23. 1.2.13 Power-over-Ethernet Support When users purchase a Motorola WLAN solution, they often need to place access points in obscure locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each access point in addition to the Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install power drops at each access point location.
Page 30: Mu-Mu Transmission Disallow
1-14 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide The Power Injector (Part No. AP-PSBIAS-T-1P-AF) is a single-port, 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet hub combining low-voltage DC with Ethernet data in a single cable connecting to the access point. The Power Injector’s single DC and Ethernet data cable creates a modified Ethernet cabling environment on the access point’s LAN port eliminating the need for separate Ethernet and power cables.
Page 31: Support For Cam And Psp Mus
Introduction 1-15 1.2.16 Support for CAM and PSP MUs The access point supports both CAM and PSP powered MUs. CAM (Continuously Aware Mode) MUs leave their radios on continuously to hear every beacon and message transmitted. These systems operate without any adjustments by the access point. A beacon is a uniframe system packet broadcast by the AP to keep the network synchronized.
Page 32: Advanced Event Logging Capability
1-16 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide 1.2.19 Advanced Event Logging Capability The access point provides the capability for periodically logging system events.

Page 33: Multi-Function Leds
Introduction 1-17 The DHCP client automatically sends a DHCP request at an interval specified by the DHCP server to renew the IP address lease as long as the access point is running (this parameter is programmed at the DHCP server). For example: Windows 2000 servers typically are set for 3 days. 1.2.23 Multi-Function LEDs Both AP-5131 and AP-5181 model access points house seven LED indicators.
Page 34: Additional Lan Subnet
1-18 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide Once the access point (in client bridge mode) establishes at least one wireless connection, it establishes other wireless connections in the background as they become available. In this way, the access point can establish simultaneous redundant links. An access point (in client bridge mode) can establish up to 3 simultaneous wireless connections with other AP-5131s or AP-5181s.
Page 35: Hotspot Support
Introduction 1-19 screen enables the administrator to set WLAN access based on user groups defined within the User Database screen. Each user is authorized based on the access policies applicable to that user. Access policies allow an administrator to control access to a user groups based on the WLAN configurations. For detailed information on configuring the access point for AAA Radius Server support, see Configuring User Authentication on page 6-64.
Page 36: Manual Date And Time Settings
1-20 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide 1.2.29 Manual Date and Time Settings As an alternative to defining a NTP server to provide access point system time, the access point can now have its date and time set manually. A new Manual Date/Time Setting screen can be used to set the time using a Year-Month-Day HH:MM:SS format.
Page 37: Cellular Coverage
2.4 to 2.5-GHz frequency range (802.11b/g radio) or the 5.2 GHz frequency range (802.11a radio), the actual range is country-dependent. Motorola devices, like other Ethernet devices, have unique, hardware encoded Media Access Control (MAC) or IEEE addresses.
Page 38: Mac Layer Bridging
1-22 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide If the MU does not find an access point with a workable signal, it can perform a scan to find any AP. As MUs switch APs, the AP updates its association statistics. The user can configure the ESSID to correspond to up to 16 WLANs on each 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio.
Page 39: Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum
Introduction 1-23 supports multiple-cell operations with fast roaming between cells. Within a direct-sequence system, each cell can operates independently. Adding cells to the network provides an increased coverage area and total system capacity. The RS-232 serial port provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) connection. The serial link supports a direct serial connection.

Page 589: Chapter 9. Configuring Mesh Networking
Configuring Mesh Networking 9.1 Mesh Networking Overview An AP-51xx can be configured in two modes to support the new mesh networking functionality. The access point can be set to a client bridge mode and/or a base bridge mode (which accepts connections from client bridges).
Page 590 A mesh network must use one of the two access point LANs. If intending to use the access point for mesh networking support, Motorola recommends configuring at least one WLAN (of the 16 WLANs available) specifically for mesh networking support.
Page 591: The Ap-51Xx Client Bridge Association Process
MU traffic with its associated devices. CAUTION Only Motorola AP-5131 or AP-5181 model access points can be used as base bridges, client bridges or repeaters within an access point supported mesh network. If utilizing a mesh network, Motorola recommends considering a dual-radio model to optimize channel utilization and throughput.
Page 592: Client Bridge Configuration Process Example
9.1.2 Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) The access point performs mesh networking using STP as defined in the 802.1d standard. NOTE The Motorola AP-4131 access point uses a non-standard form of 802.1d STP, and is therefore not compatible as a base bridge or client bridge within an access point managed network.
Page 593: Defining The Mesh Topology
The user must be able to define one node as the root. Assigning a base bridge the lowest bridge priority defines it as the root. NOTE Motorola recommends using the Mesh STP Configuration screen to define a base bridge as a root.
Page 594: Normal Operation
AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide 9.1.5 Normal Operation Once the mesh network is defined, all normal access point operations are still allowed. MUs are still allowed to associate with the access point as usual. The user can create WLANs, security polices and VLANs as with any other access point.
Page 595 The user does not necessarily have to change these settings, as the default settings will work. However, Motorola encourages the user to define an access point as a base bridge and root (using the base bridge priority settings within the Bridge STP Configuration screen). Members of the mesh network can be configured as client bridges or additional base bridges with a higher priority value.
Page 596 (commonly referred to as the root). Motorola recommends assigning a Base Bridge AP with the lowest bridge priority so it becomes the root in the STP. If a root already exists, set the Bridge Priorities of new APs accordingly so the root of the STP doesn't get altered.
Page 597: Configuring A Wlan For Mesh Networking Support
WLAN in order to share the same ESSID, radio designation, security policy, MU ACL and Quality of Service policy. If intending to use the access point for mesh networking support, Motorola recommends configuring at least one WLAN (of the 16 WLANs available) specifically for mesh networking support.
Page 598 WLAN that each access point will share when using this WLAN within their mesh network. Motorola recommends assigning a unique name to a WLAN supporting a mesh network to differentiate it from WLANs defined for non mesh support. The name assigned to the...

Page 601: Configuring The Access Point Radio For Mesh Support
If a hacker tries to find an ESSID via an MU, the access point’s ESSID does not display since the ESSID is not in the beacon. Motorola recommends keeping the option enabled to reduce the likelihood of hacking into the WLAN.
Page 602 9-14 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide To configure the access point radio for mesh networking support: NOTE The dual-radio model access point affords users better optimization of the mesh network feature by allowing the access point to transmit to other access points (in base or client bridge mode) using one independent radio and transmit with its associated devices using the second independent radio.
Page 603 Configuring Mesh Networking 9-15 Radio Status MUs connected values update. If this is an existing radio within a mesh network, these values update in real-time. CAUTION If a radio is disabled, be careful not to accidentally configure a new WLAN, expecting the radio to be operating when you have forgotten it was disabled.
Page 604 WLAN (ESS) the client bridge uses to establish a wireless link. The default setting, is (WLAN1). Motorola recommends creating (and naming) a WLAN specifically for mesh networking support to differentiate the Mesh supported WLAN from non-Mesh supported WLANs.
Page 605 NOTE Auto link selection is based on the RSSI and load. The client bridge will select the best available link when the Automatic Link Selection checkbox is selected. Motorola recommends you do not disable this option, as (when enabled) the access point will select the best base bridge for connection.
Page 606 9-18 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide 12. Highlight a MAC address from the Preferred Base Bridge List and click the button to assign that device’s MAC address a higher priority and a greater likelihood of joining the mesh network if an association with another device is lost. If a MAC address is not desirable as others but still worthy of being on the preferred list, select it, and click the Down...
Page 607 Configuring Mesh Networking 9-19 Enabled If the mesh connection is down on one radio (radio 1), the other radio (radio 2) is brought down and stops beaconing after the timeout period (45 seconds). This allows the client bridge (radio 1) to roam without dropping the MU's associated to radio 2.

9-20 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide 9.3 Mesh Network Deployment - Quick Setup This section provides instructions on how to quickly setup and demonstrate mesh functionality using three access points. Two following two deployment scenarios will be addressed: • Scenario 1 - Two base bridges (redundant) and one client bridge •...
Page 609 Configuring Mesh Networking 9-21 AP#1 and AP#2 will be configured somewhat the same. However there are some important (yet subtle) differences. Therefore, the configuration of each access point will be described separately. 9.3.1.1 Configuring AP#1: 1. Provide a known IP address for the LAN1 interface. NOTE Enable the LAN1 Interface of AP#1 as a DHCP Server if you intend to associate MUs and require them to obtain an IP address via DHCP.

Page 613 Configuring Mesh Networking 9-25 6. If needed, create another WLAN mapped to the 802.11bg radio if 802.11bg support is required for MUs on that 802.11 band.
Page 614 9-26 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide 9.3.1.2 Configuring AP#2 AP#2 can be configured the same as AP#1 with the following exceptions: • Assign an IP Address to the LAN1 Interface different than that of AP#1 • Assign a higher Mesh STP Priority 50000 to the AP#2 LAN1 Interface. NOTE In a typical deployment, each base bridge can be configured for a Mesh STP Priority of 50000.
Page 615 Configuring Mesh Networking 9-27 9.3.1.3 Configuring AP#3 To define the configuration for AP#3 (a client bridge connecting to both AP#1 and AP#2 simultaneously): 1. Provide a known IP address for the LAN1 interface. 2. Assign the maximum value (65535) for the Mesh STP Priority.

Page 625: Mesh Networking Frequently Asked Questions
Configuring Mesh Networking 9-37 9.4 Mesh Networking Frequently Asked Questions The following scenarios represent issues that could be encountered and resolved when defining an AP-5131 or AP-5181 mesh configuration: Mesh Deployment Issue 1 - Client Bridge can only connect to one of two Base Bridges You have two access points configured as base bridges (AP1, AP2) and one access point defined as a as a client bridge (AP3).
Page 626 Can I use secure beacons on the mesh backhaul supported WLAN? Resolution Yes, you can enable a secure beacon on a mesh backhaul supported WLAN. In fact, it is a Motorola recommended practice. Mesh Deployment Issue 6 - Is my mesh topology complete?
Page 627 Configuring Mesh Networking 9-39 Resolution Yes, both the AP-5131 and AP-5181 model access points are identical from a software deployment standpoint. so it is a supported configuration for AP-5131s and AP-5181s to exist in a single topology. Mesh Deployment Issue 9 - Can I mesh between and an access point and an AP300? Can you mesh between a AP-5131, AP-5181 and an AP300 model access port? Resolution No, an AP300 does not support mesh networking.
Page 628 9-40 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide each one of them. If you don’t, the base bridge configuration file could get applied on a client bridge or repeater and you will loose connectivity to that AP. Mesh Deployment Issue 13 - Why do I lose connectivity when updating configurations? When I make a configuration change and apply the changes on a client bridge or repeater, I momentarily loose connectivity to that AP, why?
Page 629: Chapter 10. Adaptive Ap
An adaptive AP (AAP) is an AP-51XX access point that can adopt like an AP300 (L3). The management of an AAP is conducted by the switch, once the access point connects to a Motorola WS5100 or RFS7000 model switch and receives its AAP configuration.
Page 630: Where To Go From Here
10-2 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide The benefits of an AAP deployment include: • Centralized Configuration Management & Compliance - Wireless configurations across distributed sites can be centrally managed by the wireless switch or cluster. • WAN Survivability - Local WLAN services at a remote sites are unaffected in the case of a WAN outage.
Page 631: Adaptive Ap Management
Adaptive AP 10-3 10.1.2 Adaptive AP Management An AAP can be adopted, configured and managed like a thin access port from the wireless switch. NOTE To support AAP functionality, a WS5100 model switch must be running firmware version 3.1 or higher, whereas a RFS7000 model switch must be running firmware version 1.1 or higher.
Page 632: Licensing
10-4 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide 10.1.4 Licensing An AAP uses the same licensing scheme as a thin access port. This implies an existing license purchased with a switch can be used for an AAP deployment. Regardless of how many AP300 and/or AAPs are deployed, you must ensure the license used by the switch supports the number of radio ports (both AP300s and AAPs) you intend to adopt.
Page 633: Manual Adoption Configuration
Adaptive AP 10-5 ** The AP-51xx uses an encryption key to hash passphrases and security keys. To obtain the encryption passphrase, configure an AP-51xx with the passphrase and export the configuration file. 10.1.5.2 Manual Adoption Configuration A manual switch adoption of an AAP can be conducted using: •...
Page 634: Securing A Configuration Channel Between Switch And Ap
10-6 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide 10.1.6 Securing a Configuration Channel Between Switch and AP Once an access point obtains a list of available switches, it begins connecting to each. The switch can be either on the LAN or WAN side of the access point to provide flexibility in the deployment of the network.
Page 635: Adaptive Ap Switch Failure
Adaptive AP 10-7 To review a sample AAP configuration, see Sample Switch Configuration File for IPSec and Independent WLAN on page 10-20. 10.1.10 Adaptive AP Switch Failure In the event of a switch failure, an AAP's independent WLAN continues to operate without disruption. The AAP attempts to connect to other switches (if available) in background.
Page 636 10-8 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide before MUs can pass traffic. This typically takes about 90 to 180 seconds depending on the size of the mesh topology. NOTE When mesh is used with AAPs, the "ap-timeout" value needs to be set to a higher value (for example, 180 seconds) so Mesh AAPs remain adopted to the switch during the period when the configuration is applied and mesh links are re-established.
Page 637: Supported Adaptive Ap Topologies
LAN1. If the WAN Interface is used, explicitly configure WAN as the default gateway interface. • Motorola recommends using the LAN1 interface for adoption in multi-cell deployments. • If you have multiple independent WLANs mapped to different VLANs, the AAP's LAN1 interface requires trunking be enabled with the correct management and native VLAN IDs configured.
Page 638: Extended Wlans Only
10-10 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide 10.2.2 Extended WLANs Only An extended WLAN configuration forces all MU traffic through the switch. No wireless traffic is locally bridged by the AAP. Each extended WLAN is mapped to the access point's virtual LAN2 subnet. By default, the access point's LAN2 is not enabled and the default configuration is set to static with IP addresses defined as all zeros.
Page 639: Extended Wlan With Mesh Networking
Converting an AP-5131 or AP-5181 model access point into an AAP requires: • A version 2.0 or higher firmware running on the access point. • A Motorola WS5100 (running firmware version 3.1 or later) or a RFS7000 (running firmware version 1.1 or later) model switch.
Page 640 Adaptive AP Configuration on page 10-13. Configuring the Switch for Adaptive AP Adoption The tasks described below are configured on a Motorola WS5100 or RFS7000 model switch.

B-14 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide B.2.3 Frequently Asked VPN Questions The following are common questions that arise when configuring a VPN tunnel. • Question 1: Does the access point IPSec tunnel support multiple subnets on the other end of a VPN concentrator? Yes.
Page 681 Usage Scenarios B-15 • Question 3: Can the AP be accessed via its LAN interface of AP#1 from the local subnet of AP#2 and vice versa? Yes. • Question 4: Will the default "Manual Key Exchange" settings work without making any changes? No.
Page 682 B-16 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide Yes. Only packets that match the VPN Tunnel Settings will be sent through the VPN tunnel. All other packets will be handled by whatever firewall rules are set. • Question 8: How do I specify which certificates to use for an IKE policy from the access point certificate manager? When generating a certificate to use with IKE, use one of the following fields: address,...
Page 683 Usage Scenarios B-17 • Question 9: I am using a direct cable connection between my two VPN gateways for testing and cannot get a tunnel established, yet it works when I set them up across another network or router. Why? The packet processing architecture of the access point VPN solution requires the WAN default gateway to work properly.
Page 684 B-18 AP-51xx Access Point Product Reference Guide • Verify you can ping each of the remote Gateway IP addresses from clients on either side. Failed pings can indicate general network connection problems. • Pinging the internal gateway address of the remote subnet should run the ping through the tunnel as well.
Page 685 Usage Scenarios B-19 <WAN IP address> Transport Scr port 1:65535 Dst port Rev NAT None These three rules should be configured above all other rules (default or user defined). When Advanced LAN Access is used, certain inbound/outbound rules need to be configured to control incoming/outgoing packet flow for IPSec to work properly (with Advanced LAN Access).
