Deployment Scenarios
Given below are some of the typical deployments -
Deployment Scenario 1 – WS and AP are in the same subnet:
This deployment may consist of a single or multiple WLAN Switches at the edge
connected together in the same VLAN (subnet), and the APs are either directly
connected or connected over a unmanaged switch. In other words, there are no subnet
boundaries to cross between the APs and between the APs and WSs. This
configuration does not require L3 tunneling to accomplish seamless roaming. Each
“service” (or VAP) is separated by VLANs and can have different security
configurations. In this configuration, the “network” management interface address can
be used as the only IP address on the switch and is used as the WLAN component IP
address. Therefore static address can be used on the APs on the same subnet as the
“network” IP. If DHCP is used, ensure that the APs have a route to the network IP
address of the WLAN Switch.
