AP deployment
network 1
e.f.g.h
This simple setup has the following properties:
A Summit WM Controller connected to a core network segment (a.b.c.d),
●
APs connected on both direct (e.f.g.h) and indirect (i.j.k.l) subnets,
●
An existing DHCP server somewhere in the core segment, and
●
Wireless users connected to a Summit WM Controller-controlled network (w.x.y.z).
