Virtual Cell and Virtual Port
In addition to Native Cell mode (non-virtualized mode), the AP110 and AP1014i support the
following virtualization modes:
Virtual Cell (also known as shared BSSID)
Virtual Port (also known as per-station BSSID)
The AP110 and AP1014i cannot participate in a Virtual Cell with AP1010 and AP1020 access
points.
For information about virtualization modes, see the
Design and
Deployment.
VPN Provisioning
Initial VPN provisioning requires that the APs be placed in the same Layer 2 subnet as the
controller. The controller VPN server must be started, and the APs that have certificates
installed are added to the VPN group. (Not all Meru AP models support VPN functionality.) The
APs then establish the VPN tunnel to the controller after a reboot. After confirming the VPN
status, each AP can be disconnected from the local network and is ready to deploy in any
geographic location.
APs can perform normal Layer 2 and Layer 3 discovery of controllers in addition to VPN.
However, if a VPN-enabled AP fails to establish a connection to the controller, the AP can
switch back only to L2 mode.
For information about configuring VPN, see the Meru System Director Configuration Guide on
the
Customer Support
Certificates
Digital certificates are exchanged between controllers and APs during the handshake process
before establishing a VPN connection. To use VPN, you can use the default AP and controller
certificates or certificates signed by third-party CAs can be used for VPN.
actions to be taken considering different combination of certificates, a scenario if the certificate
is lost or corrupted, or if the VPN certificate has to be changed.
