4-2 Basic Network Configuration
■
The instructions for “Configuring Infrastructure Networks” on page4-2
will work fine in most networking environments.
■
More advanced configurations settings are described in
chapter 8 “Advanced Network Configurations”.
— The Advanced Parameters (page 8-1) may help you with tailoring the
Access Point configuration to meet your networking requirements.
— Configuring Large Networks (page 8-14) provides a procedure to
manage Access Point devices more efficiently.
What you Need
To manage your Access Points, you must assign a unique IP address to each
Access Point within your network.
Furthermore, your management station must also have an IP address. The TCP/
IP connection of your station should either:
■
Be connected to the same subnet as the Access Points, as described in Basic
Infrastructure (page 2-2), or
■
Provide access to the subnet of the Access Points via routers, gateways or
another type of LAN connection that supports the TCP/IP protocol.
Configuring Infrastructure Networks
Basic Configuration
Introduction
This section will describe a 4-step installation approach to configure your
Access Points to service a roaming network environment for (mobile) wireless
stations.
Looking at the example pictured in Figure 4-2, each wireless cell is serviced by
one Access Point that has been set to “Access Point Services”. All Access Points
share the same Network Name.
