Wireless Access

Hello, My questions is the following.

 

I have a centralized scheme. The mode bridge allows the traffic does not reach the controller?. It is possible con AP 135 in mode AP, not instant, not RAP. Thanks

#AP135

Yes...you can operate an AP135 in bridge mode.  No data traffic hits the controller.  However, the control plane (authentication, control, etc...) is centralized.

It means that traffic will not be sent to the controller? stay on the switch that has the vlans? since this is currently defined routes

Yep.The AP will become transparent and will "bridge" the clients the your sw.

Bridge is used where there is a private WAN, just to get the clients on the wired network at that location.

Yes...bridge mode is locally switching traffic.  When APs are used in bridge mode, the user VLAN and the AP VLAN are typically the same VLAN, because this model operates only on a flat Layer 2 network. In this case, the AP is handling the traffic exclusively for the user and bridging it locally instead of sending the traffic back to the mobility controller for processing.

 

Perfect. Other questions. bridge mode, I can work without problem with pefng. also because RAP is not recommended for MPLS? Because the mode Splitt Tunnel would be ideal.

 

Thanks

Yes...PEFNG will work fine.  You should also be able to run in Split tunnel with the 135 as well.  That isn't an issue.  

But, this only applies in RAP mode?

I don't understand the question

The mode Split Tunnel only valid for RAP?

RAP = RemoteAP = IPSEC TUNNEL

CAP = CampusAP (Local LAN) = GRE TUNNEL

 

Split-Tunnel&Bridge are valid only in RAP Working mode . The AP-135 can act as a RAP or as a CAP -> It's all depands on how u configure it.

In RAP mode, is supporting MPLS?

Hi,

As far as i aware : ISP'S are using MPLS in order to provide easy i& connecitivy for their clients.

 

MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching)

 

As long as this MPLS is enableing your site to connect back to the controller (and MPLS dosent blocking IPSEC by default)

so there is no problem at all as far as i see it.

 

have a gr8 day.

The 135 can have bridged ssids in campus mode, but you must have cpsec enabled to do that.

 

Remeber for bridged ssids, don't enable 'drop broadcast/multicast'

Let's back up here for a second. What is the business requirements? Not whether or not the technology can do XY or Z.
