2.2 Small and Mid-size Business Network Environment
Networking devices such as switches, hubs, and access points are usually forms a part of SMB
environments. The Internet connection of a SMB is usually via ADSL or cable modem.
Figure-2
shows a
typical network deployment example which includes switches, access points, and connections to the Internet
via ADSL/cable modem. Note that external authentication server in the diagram is not required.
Figure-1
shows that DSA-3600 can authenticate the users of its built-in database, as well as authenticate the users of
external authentication database.
The DSA-3600 supports either tag-based VLAN or port-based VLAN, but they are mutually exclusive. In the
wireless environment, a service zone of DSA-3600 is mapped to a VLAN with an associated SSID.
Figure-2
shows a tag-based deployment scenario. When the DSA-3600 is set for tag-based VLAN, an Access Point,
with multiple SSIDs turned on, can service multiple service zones.
