WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration Manual
2-4 Deploying a Basic WFS709TP System
v1.0, June 2007
Deployment Scenario #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.
Figure 2-3
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.
