Example 2: Small to mid-size business with wireless backhaul
Acme Works has now grown to 70 users. The site is the same as in Example 1; however Acme
wants to provide coverage to a temporary building that has no wired connection. An additional AP
is added to provide user access via a wireless backhaul (Figure 7).
Figure 7: Example 2 Network
Figure 8 summarizes the feature decisions for this example. The security portal capability within
NM Portal provides authentication for the backhaul AP. The security mode is WPA with pre-shared
keys (PSK). A single SSID is in place, and the default VLAN, QoS, and service profiles are used.
