Multiple-Airespace Switch and Appliance Deployments
Each Airespace Wireless Switch can support Airespace APs and third-party APs across multiple floors
and buildings simultaneously. Similarly, each Airespace WLAN Appliance can support Airespace APs
across multiple floors and buildings simultaneously. However, the Airespace System’s full functionality
is realized when it includes multiple Airespace Switches and Appliances. That is, a multiple-Airespace
Switch and Appliance system has the following additional features over a single-Airespace Switch or
Appliance deployment:
•
Autodetecting and autoconfiguring Airespace Switch or Appliance RF parameters as the
Airespace Switches and Appliances are added to the network, as described in
AireWave Director
Software .
•
Same-Airespace Switch or Appliance (Layer 2) Roaming and Inter-Subnet (Layer 3) Roaming .
•
Automatic Airespace Switch and Appliance Failover Protection to any redundant Airespace
Switch or Appliance with unused ports.
The following figure shows a typical multiple-Airespace Switch and Appliance deployment, with the
Airespace Switch or Appliance in
Direct Connect Mode , Appliance Mode and Hybrid Mode . The figure
also shows an optional dedicated Management Network and the three physical connection types
between the switched network and the Airespace Switch or Appliance, as further described in
Switched
Network Connection to an Airespace Switch or Appliance .
