VLAN Ethernet port Configuration 1.) Flat network 2.) Trunk and Flat 3.) Flat and Trunk 4.) Trunk and Trunk Eth1 = AP discovery (L2) Eth2 = RON (L3)
Ethernet port Configuration A user cannot send a L3 ICMP ping between ports 1 and 2 on the wire…. …but can do so over the wireless! RON port Rest Of Network Layer 2 and 3 Layer 2 / 8783 Frame only
Schematic of the WS-5000 Solution • A wired network, separated by routers Ether-Switch A Ether-Switch B Router A Router B 10.93.10.10 Network B - 10.92.25.X Network A - 10.93.10.X WAN
Schematic of the WS-5000 Solution • WS 5000 can extend a layer 2 tunnel through the “A” network and continue network “B”’s VLAN support without loop-back! 10.92.25.15 10.92.25.11 10.92.25.16 Ether-Switch A Ether-Switch B 10.92.25.10 Router A Router B 10.93.10.10 Network B - 10.92.25.X Network A - 10.93.10.X WAN
The wired Topology #1 – Full redundant – each access switch is it’s own VLAN for wired users. Access – Plain Layer 2 Switch Distribution / Core Router WAN
The wired Topology #1 – Full redundant – each access switch is it’s own VLAN. “VLAN in a box” (Eth 1 and 2 trunked) Access – Plain Layer 2 Switch POTS Distribution / Core Four separate and unique VLANs over the air! 3270/5250/ANSI Emulation Data Router Voice WAN Just add the number of switches need to support the application! Warm Standby

Cisco’s implementation: • Standards Based Management Interfaces • Does not roam across VLANs • Must rely on software to keep roam alive • Session failure. • Must re-authenticate when roaming to new VLAN. • Creates STP (Spanning Tree) issues. • Defeats Cisco’s “VLAN in a box” wired design. • Must have supporting ethernet equipment to take advantage of AP feature sets.
