Mode of Operations

Different Modes of Operation

Repeater mode

-Root Bridge & Remote Bridge/Router/NAT Mode.

Link Aggregate mode

-Root Router

-Remote Router/NAT Mode

Bridge mode

Device will act as a transparent bridge and will operate in Mac layer.

Bridge mode association is based on channel and MAC authorization only. ESSID will not be used for the setting up a link.

If the remote client is configured in a bridge mode and channel needs to be changed then channel needs to be changed at both the radios.

Router mode

Device will operate in layer 3 to perform routing. It is pure routing and network provider has to take care of proper routing as there is no NAT feature in airHaul2 Nexus PRO.

In a Router mode, the association is based on SSID.

Remote device configured in a Router mode will automatically follow the Root Bridge for any change in channel. For this reason, the Remote Router/NAT mode is preferred. Please select a channel with low interference for setting up a link in the beginning.

NAT mode

This mode allows a Local Area Network (LAN) to use one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a single wireless IP for external traffic. It provides a type of firewall by hiding internal IP addresses and allows sharing by many computers behind the aCNPT. Since these are done in the LAN there is no possibility of conflict with IP addresses in the public or wireless network.
