Figure 2-3

In this deployment scenario (Figure 2-3), the APs and the WFS709TP are on different subnetworks and the APs are on multiple subnetworks, with routers between the APs and the WFS709TP. The WFS709TP is connected to a Layer 2 switch or router through a trunk port that carries traffic for all wireless user VLANs. An upstream router functions as the default gateway for the wireless users.

Note: This deployment scenario does not use VLAN 1 to connect to the Layer 2 switch or router through the trunk port. When the initial setup prompts you for the IP address

and default gateway for VLAN 1, use the default values. In later steps, you will configure the appropriate VLAN to connect to the switch or router as well as the default gateway.
