Chapter 3
A Proof-of-Concept Network
To help set the stage for the complex campus network presented in Chapter 4 on page 19, it is useful to
begin with a very small network. In this chapter, we consider a network that is typically deployed in a
Proof-of-Concept (PoC) test involving a handful of Access Points and a Master Controller that provides
guest and employee coverage to a conference room.
PoC Network - Physical Design
To keep the example as simple as possible, the design of this network involves a single AP and a single
Mobility Controller, and uses an existing RADIUS or LDAP server for authentication.
