In this network, the AP has been deployed into a conference room, and is connected to the existing VLAN provided for wired users. In keeping with the concept of a network overlay, no reconfiguration or special VLANs need to be created as long as the access point has IP connectivity to the Mobility Controller.
PoC Network - Logical and RF Design
A common feature of centralized WLAN architectures is the ability to support many Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs) simultaneously from the same APs. Each SSID can have its own authentication and encryption settings based on the capabilities of the clients and the services that each needs. In this PoC network there are three SSIDs available for association via the AP.
