GRE Tunnels
Regardless of the network topology between the AP and the Wireless LAN
switch, the AP will open one GRE tunnel per radio interface to the Wireless
LAN switch.
One end of the GRE tunnel will be the IP address of the AP. The other end of
the GRE tunnel is specified (in descending order of priority) by the master,
servername, and then serverip variables. If these variables are left to default
values, the AP will use DNS to look up the well known name Alcatel-master to
discover the OmniAccess 6000 Wireless LAN Switch.
Once the IP address is discovered, the AP uses its closest address (in terms of
router hops) as the GRE tunnel end point at the Wireless LAN switch. You can
determine the Wireless LAN switch tunnel end-point using the following AP
console commands:
# enable (Enter the AP privileged command mode)
Password: <privileged password> (Same as Wireless LAN switch enable password)
# Spawning Enable Shell. Type Ctrl-D to exit enable mode.
# show config
