Understanding Remote AP Modes of Operation

Table 170 summarizes the different remote AP modes of operation. You specify both the forward mode setting (which controls whether 802.11 frames are tunneled to the controller using GRE, bridged to the local Ethernet LAN, or a combination thereof) and the remote AP mode of operation (when the virtual AP operates on a remote AP) in the virtual AP profile.

The column on the left of the table lists the remote AP operation settings. The row across the top of the table lists the forward mode settings. To understand how these settings work in concert, scan the desired remote AP operation with the forward mode setting and read the information in the appropriate table cell.

The “all” column and row lists features that all remote AP operation and forward mode settings have in common regardless of other settings. For example, at the intersection of “all” and “bridge,” the description outlines what happens in bridge mode regardless of the remote AP mode of operation.
