Traffic Behavior Types
There are 3 traffic types available when setting up your WM-AD:
● Tunneled to controller
● Bridged at AP
● Bridged to VLAN at controller
You assign available Wireless APs, by radio, to the WM-AD. A Wireless AP radio is available for WM-
AD assignment until it has been assigned to a maximum eight WM-ADs. The following lists how many
WM-ADs each Summit WM Controller can support:
● WM20 – Up to 8 WM-ADs
Each AP's radio can be assigned to any of the WM-ADs defined in the system, with up to 8 assignments
per radio.
Once a WM-AD definition is saved, the Summit WM Controller updates this information on the
Wireless AP. The WM-AD broadcasts the updates during beacon transmission, unless the SSID beacon
is suppressed on the Topology tab.
The Altitude APs Configuration screen lists defined WM-ADs and which radio each has been assigned
to.
On the Topology tab, define parameters for DHCP for IP address assignment. DHCP IP assignment is
not applicable to Bridged at AP mode. DHCP assignment is disabled by default for Bridged to VLAN
mode. However, you can enable DHCP server/relay functionality to have the controller service the IP
addresses for the VLAN (and wireless users).
You can also configure this WM-AD for management traffic or for third-party APs.
RF Assignment for a WM-AD
The second step in setting up a WM-AD is to configure the RF assignment for the WM-AD. From the
RF tab you assign APs to a WM-AD and SSID definitions.
