Extended WLANs Only
Independent WLANs Only
Extended WLANs with Independent WLANs
Extended VLAN with Mesh Networking
An AAP firmware upgrade will not be performed at the time of adoption from the wireless
switch. Instead, the firmware is upgraded using the AP-51x1's firmware update procedure
(manually or using the DHCP Auto Update feature).
An AAP can use its LAN1 interface or WAN interface for adoption. The default gateway interface
is set to LAN1. If the WAN Interface is used, explicitly configure WAN as the default gateway
interface.
Brocade recommends using the LAN1 interface for adoption in multi-cell deployments.
If you have multiple independent WLANs mapped to different VLANs, the AAP's LAN1 interface
requires trunking be enabled with the correct management and native VLAN IDs configured.
Additionally, the AAP needs to be connected to a 802.1q trunk port on the wired switch.
Be aware IPSec Mode supports NAT Traversal (NAT-T).
