Step 4 – Define filtering rules for the third-party APs:
1 Because the third-party APs are mapped to a physical port, you must define the Exception filters on
the physical port, using the Port Exception Filters screen. For more information, see
Filtering Rules for a WM-AD" on page
2 Define filtering rules that allow access to other services and protocols on the network such as HTTP,
FTP, Telnet, SNMP.
In addition, modify the following functions on the third-party access point:
Disable the access point's DHCP server, so that the IP address assignment for any wireless device on
●
the AP is from the DHCP server at the Summit WM Controller with WM-AD information.
Disable the third-party access point's layer-3 IP routing capability and set the access point to work as
●
a layer-2 bridge.
Here are the differences between third-party access points and Wireless APs on the Summit WM
Controller, Access Points and Software system:
A third-party access point exchanges data with the Summit WM Controller's data port using
●
standard IP over Ethernet protocol. The third-party access points do not support the tunnelling
protocol for encapsulation.
For third-party access points, the WM-AD is mapped to the physical data port and this is the default
●
gateway for mobile units supported by the third-party access points.
A Summit WM Controller cannot directly control or manage the configuration of a third-party access
●
point.
Third-party access points are required to broadcast an SSID unique to their segment. This SSID
●
cannot be used by any other WM-AD.
Roaming from third-party access points to Wireless APs and vice versa is not supported.
