WM-AD configuration
Bridge at the AP WM-AD (Bridge Traffic Locally at AP) – The user traffic is directly bridged with
●
VLAN at the AP's point of access (switch port).
VLAN bridged WM-AD (Bridge Traffic Locally at WM) – The user traffic is tunneled to the Summit
●
WM Controller and is directly bridged with it to a specific VLAN.
NOTE
Only the following models support VLAN bridged WM-AD (Bridge Traffic Locally at WM):
• Summit WM2000 Controller
• Summit WM200 Controller
• Summit WM20 Controller
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) WM-AD – User traffic plies over a wireless network that uses
●
multiple access points interconnected via wireless links. For more information, see the Summit WM
User Guide.
SSID and AAA determine the WM-AD's network assignment. These network assignments define a
framework for carrying out the authentication of the mobile devices.
Creating a new WM-AD involves the following three steps:
1 Assigning a name to the proposed WM-AD
2 Defining the topology parameters
3 Assigning Wireless AP's radios to WM-AD
4 Configuring the WM-AD for authentication and privacy
