Scenario 2c: Hotspot with satellites and roaming
(via RADIUS server)
This scenario adds multiple APs to extend the wireless network in Scenario 2b.
AP devices can be used to extend the reach of the public access network created by a service
controller.
How it works
This scenario creates two virtual service communities (VSCs) on each AP. Each VSC provides
support for a different security option: 802.1X (with WEP) or WPA.
To connect with the wireless network, users must select the SSID of the VSC that matches the
option that they want to use. Roaming is supported, since the same VSCs are defined on all
access points.
Authentication of client stations is done by the service controller using accounts defined on a
RADIUS server.
