WM Access Domain Services
Used for a WM-AD supporting third-party APs
Has WEP and WPA-PSK privacy
AAA:
Has 802.1X authentication
Requires filtering rules for group filter IDs and default filter. A definition of group filter IDs is
optional. If a filter is not specified or not returned by the Access-Accept response, the default
filter group is applied.
Has WEP and WPA privacy
Summit WM Controller is involved in authenticating users. 802.1X packets for AAA assignment
are forwarded by the Wireless AP to the Summit WM Controller through to the RADIUS server.
Traffic behavior types
There are 4 traffic types available when setting up your WM-AD:
Tunneled to controller = Routed
Bridged at AP = Bridge Traffic Locally at WAP
Bridged to VLAN at controller (not available in WM100/1000) = Bridge Traffic Locally as SWM
Wireless Distribution System = WDS
The Altitude APs are assigned to the WM-AD by radios. A Wireless AP radio is available for WM-AD
assignment until it has been assigned to a maximum eight WM-ADs with the exception of WDS WM-
AD that can handle maximum of seven WM-ADs. For more information, see
System" on page
The Summit WM Controller can support the following:
WM200/2000 - Up to 64 WM-ADs
WM20 - Up to 8 WM-ADs
WM1000 - Up to 50 WM-ADs
WM100 - Up to 32 WM-ADs
Once a WM-AD definition is saved, the Summit WM Controller updates this information on the
Wireless AP. The WM-AD broadcasts the updates during beacon transmission, unless the SSID beacon
is suppressed on the Topology tab.
The Altitude AP Configuration page lists defined WM-ADs and which radio each has been assigned to.
On the Topology tab, define parameters for DHCP for IP address assignment. DHCP IP assignment is
not applicable to Bridged at AP mode. DHCP assignment is disabled by default for Bridged to VLAN
mode. However, you can enable DHCP server/relay functionality to have the controller service the IP
addresses for the VLAN (and wireless users).
You can also configure this WM-AD for management traffic or for third-party APs. For more
information, see
