Radius Vlan - Proxim ORiNOCO AP-800 Installation And Management Manual

Q. What is the effect on WDS, if the link integrity is enabled and the Link Status is down?
If the link integrity is enabled and the Link Status is down, then AP device disables all the VAPs enabled in AP mode only but
does not interrrupt the traffic on ethernet and WDS link.
Q. Does WDS support Auto Channel Selection (ACS)?
No. WDS does not support Auto Channel Selection (ACS). You cannot enable the Auto Channel Selection (ACS), when a
VAP is configured in WDS mode.
Q. Can I configure WDS on a DFS channel?
You can configure WDS on a DFS channel, but it is not recommended to use a DFS channel to establish a WDS link.
Q. How is WDS related with STP?
STP is enabled automatically when you enable a VAP in WDS mode. STP feature helps in avoiding the loops in a ring
topology formed by a WDS link.

RADIUS VLAN

Q. Why VLAN assignment via RADIUS is needed?
VLAN assignment via RADIUS reduces the effort of AP device, in manually configuring VLAN to a specific user. Using this
feature we can dynamically assign VLANs to wireless clients when the clients are authenticated with RADIUS server. Hence,
each client can maintain its own VLAN network.
Q. What if "Tunnel-Private-Group-ID" is empty?
If the "Tunnel-Private-Group-ID" is empty, the native VLAN ID configured (if any) in the VAP is applied to the client.
Q. What is the behavior of RADIUS VLAN assignment, while sending Broadcast/Multicast traffic?
• The Broadcast/Multicast traffic being sent from an ethernet backhaul PC (associated to any VLAN or NO VLAN), reaches
the wireless clients irrespective of the VLANs applied to them.
• The Broadcast/Multicast traffic being sent from the wireless client (say with VLAN ID = VLAN 100) reaches the other
wireless client(s) (irrespective of the VLANs applied) and ethernet backhaul PC associated to same VLAN(that is 100) or NO
VLAN (but not to the PC associated to other VLANs).
Q. How is management VLAN ID related to RADIUS VLAN assignment?
If the management VLAN ID is configured, the RADIUS server should also be in the same VLAN to receive the request packet
re-directed by the AP device.
