WLAN Topology Considerations 35
2 Planning the D-Link Unified Access System Network
equipment such as hubs, routers, or other switches directly to the 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
ports on the switch. All connections to the D-Link Unified Switch must be wired connections
since the switch does not have any radios.
In
Figure 8
, the D-Link Unified Switches are both LAN and WLAN switches that handle
traffic from end users connected to the wired LAN as well as traffic from the D-Link Access
Points. In the diagram, Building 1 and Building 2 have a D-Link Unified Switch on each floor.
Figure 8. Wiring Closet Topology
The four D-Link Unified Switches are in the same peer group. This allows wireless clients to
roam between floors and between buildings without the need to re-authenticate. Additionally,
each Unified Switch shares its list of managed APs and wireless clients with the switches in
the peer group so that the APs and wireless clients are not reported as rogues (unknown).
The topology in
Figure 8
works well if you need to add, upgrade, or replace LAN switches on
your network.
NOTE:
When tunneled clients are used in conjunction with peer switches, one of the
peer switches must be configured as a default gateway for the tunneled cli-
ents. Normally the default gateway routes all traffic from the client’s subnet to
other subnets, however in a peer switch network the Unified Switch that man-
ages the AP to which the client is associated routes the frames into the remote
subnets. This means that each peer switch must have routing table entries that
enable it to route frames to every subnet in the network.
