Deploying a Branch Office/Home Office Solution

In a branch office, the AP is deployed in a separate IP network from the corporate network. Typically, there are one or two NAT devices between the two networks. Branch office users need access to corporate resources like printers and servers but traffic to and from these resources must not impact the corporate head office.

The Figure 167 is a graphic representation of a remote AP in a branch or home office with a single controller providing access to both a corporate WLAN and a branch office WLAN.

Figure 167: Remote AP with Single Controller

Branch office users want continued operation of the branch office WLAN even if the link to the corporate network goes down. The branch office AP solves these requirements by providing the following capabilities on the branch office WLAN:

Local termination of 802.11 management frames which provides survivability of the branch office WLAN.

All 802.1x authenticator functionality is implemented in the AP. The controller is used as a RADIUS pass- through when the authenticator has to communicate with a RADIUS server (which also supports survivability).

802.11 encryption/decryption is in the AP to provide access to local resources.

Local bridging of client traffic connected to the WLAN or to an AP 70 enet1 port to provide access to local resources.
