Introduction

The Airgo Access Point provides advanced features to configure wireless networking services and

extend services to network users. From the Networking Services menu, assign interfaces, define

quality of service, configure VLANs, and define packet filters. Statistics are also available to

monitor network activity.

Interfaces

Figure 70 illustrates the physical and logical elements of the wireless network. Each Airgo Access

Point has virtual interfaces that correspond to specific communications functions, as listed in

Table 11. The interfaces wlan0 and wlan1 provide access to the BSS created on the AP radios; the

interface eth0 provides access to the Ethernet network. In addition, a separate interface is reserved

for each wireless backhaul trunk.

NOTE: It is not necessary to modify any of the default networking settings in order to

get a wireless network up and running. The default settings may also be acceptable for

normal operation of small to mid-size networks.
