Local Switching

The APC provides the local switching function to support a service to an individual
network such as a branch office. The local switching function enables an AP to be
connected to WAN for external connection in an individual network where the APC is not
installed. The control packet of an AP and a wireless terminal is processed in the
centralized APC and a general data packet is processed in an individual network.
Follow the below steps to configure the local switching function.
CASE1) If the individual network consists of VLAN
1) Add the AP to a remote AP group.
2) Configure the WLAN tunnel mode of an AP group where the AP is located to local
bridging.
3) Configure the Local Vlan ID per WLAN in the Remote AP item of an AP (If a local
VLAN is not specified, the default interface specified in the AP is used).
CASE2) If the individual network does not consist of VLAN
Configure the WLAN tunnel mode of an AP group where the AP is located to local
bridging.
