CHAPTER 19
Topology Example Four
Consider a building with three floors looking to deploy a switch
on each floor. The APs on each floor would be connected via a
L2/L3 network to local switch on that floor and would bootstrap
with the same switch.
Each of these Local switches is on a different VLAN and subnet.
The clients associating with each of these would also belong to
the same VLAN and subnet. The switches can act as the DHCP
server for the subnet or can use an external DHCP server.
To enable seamless mobility between the subnets as the clients
move, mobility needs to be enabled
A brief description of the requirements that this topology satisfies
is discussed below.
z Redundancy
This topology consists of N local switches and 1 master switch. The
master switch serves as a backup for each of the local switches.
z SSID / User Firewall Policies
1. User Guest
SSID guest
Encryption None
Firewall Policies NAT users. Permission to access
internet only
Authentication method Captive portal
VLAN Local VLAN on the switch and the
user is nated out.
