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 an Airgo wireless network. Each Airgo
Access Point has virtual interfaces that correspond to specific communications functions, as listed
in Table 10. 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.
