ADVANCED NETWORK CONFIGURATION AND PLANNING
Virtual Access Point (VAP) and WDS Bridging capabilities allow the access point to
be integrated into many new network configurations. Some common
configurations are explained briefly in this section:
Public/private access point service
Remote building wireless access with the AP8250 and 802.11a Bridging Kit
Remote building wireless access with the AP8250 and 802.11g Upgrade Kit
PUBLIC/PRIVATE ACCESS POINT SERVICE
The public/private access point service configuration allows the access point to
provide public Internet access while simultaneously providing secure access to the
enterprise network.
In this configuration, an AP7250 access point is configured with two Virtual
Access Points:
The first Virtual Access Point is configured to support one SSID that is
broadcast with no security.
The second Virtual Access Point is configured with a different, private SSID
that is not broadcast.
The private SSID should be assigned to a separate VLAN and use 802.1x
authentication with either TKIP or AES encryption to a RADIUS server.
