Network Topology
MAP-3100s can be used to create two network topologies: a closed network or an Internet
access network that attaches to a network with connectivity to the Internet.
In a closed network infrastructure, as shown in figure below, all devices are configured to
operate in the same mode (Relay mode). This network configuration is suitable for
applications where the clients using the mesh only need to communicate with each other and
do not need to access the Internet or other remote network resources that are not directly
connected to the mesh.
