About Cisco 1030 Remote Edge Lightweight Access Points
The only exception to the general rule of Cisco 1000 Series Lightweight Access Points being continu- ously controlled by Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers is the Cisco 1030 IEEE 802.11a/b/g remote edge lightweight access point (Cisco 1030 remote edge lightweight access point). The Cisco 1030 remote edge lightweight access point is intended to be located at a remote site, initially configured by a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, and normally controlled by a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller.
However, because the Cisco 1030 remote edge lightweight access point bridges the client data (compared with other Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access points, which pass all client data through their respective Cisco Wireless LAN Controller), if the WAN link breaks between the Cisco 1030 remote edge lightweight access point and its Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, the Cisco 1030 remote edge light- weight access point continues transmitting WLAN 1 client data through other Cisco 1030 remote edge lightweight access points on its local subnet. However, it cannot take advantage of features accessed from the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, such as establishing new VLANs, until communication is reestablished.
The Cisco 1030 remote edge lightweight access point includes the traditional SOHO (small office, home office) AP processing power, and thus can continue operating if the WAN link to its associated Cisco Wireless LAN Controller fails. Because it is configured by its associated Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, it has the same WLAN configuration as the rest of the Cisco WLAN Solution (refer to Cisco WLAN Solution WLANs). As long as it remains connected to its Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, it varies its transmit power and channel selection under control of the Radio Resource Management (RRM), and performs the same rogue access point location as any other Cisco 1000 Series lightweight access point.
Note that the Cisco 1030 remote edge lightweight access point can support multiple WLANs while it is connected to its Cisco Wireless LAN Controller. However, when it loses connection to its Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, it supports only one WLAN on its local subnet.
