Figure 3.11. Medium-Sized Wireless LAN
This example constructs a wireless LAN operating over three floors of a building. A different
department is located on each floor and these are separated by routers.
User PC1 belongs to the 3rd floor but sometimes takes his PC and works on the1st floor. As the IP
tunneling server function is enabled on the AP, PC1 can still perform operations such as sending and
receiving mail and accessing the 3F file server while roaming on the 1st floor away from the 3rd floor
router.
To keep the various APs separated, the APs on different floors are installed on opposite sides of the
building so that they are not directly above or below each other.
