Using the Network Topology Menu
Use the Network Topology menu items to manage the identification, network status, and
relationship of APs in the network.
Enrolling APs
Network security depends upon mutual trust between the NM Portal and the other managed Airgo
APs. Each access point must trust the identity of the NM Portal AP, and the NM Portal must trust
that each access point is fully authenticated (Figure 128).
Figure 128: AP Enrollment
Enrollment is the process used to establish this mutual trust. The process consists of several steps:
• NM Portal automatically discovers all the Airgo Access Points and presents those not already
enrolled in a list of unenrolled APs.
• You select a candidate AP to enroll and verify its identity.
• NM Portal and the AP perform a mutual authentication process.
