Understand ing Remote AP Mode s of Operation
Table1 70 summarizes the differentremote AP modes o fo peration.You specify bo th theforward mode setting
(which controls whether80 2.11 framesare tunneled to the controller using GRE, bridgedt o the localE thernetLAN ,
or a combination thereof) andt heremote AP modeof operatio n(when the virtual AP operates on a remote AP) i n
the virtual AP profile.
The columnon the left of the table lists the remote AP operation sett ings.The row across the to po f thet ablelists
the forwardmode setti ngs.To understand how these settings work in concert, scan the desired remote AP operation
with the forward modeset ting andread the information in the appropriate table cell.
The “all”c olumnand row lists features that all remote AP operation and forward mode settings have in common
regardlessof other settings. For example, at the intersection of “all” and “bridge,” the description outlines what
happensin bridge mode regardless of the remote AP mode of operatio n.
