Setting up a WM-AD defines a virtual IP subnet for a group of wireless device users, where the Summit
WM Controller acts as a default gateway to wireless devices. For each WM-AD, you define its topology,
authentication, accounting, RADIUS servers, filtering, multicast parameters, privacy and policy
mechanism. When you set up a new WM-AD, additional tabs appear only after you save the topology.
A critical topology option to define for a WM-AD is the WM-AD type:
● Routed WM-AD – User traffic is tunneled to the Summit WM Controller. (This is the default setup.)
● Bridged at the AP WM-AD – User traffic is directly bridged to a VLAN at the AP network point of
access (switch port).
● VLAN bridged WM-AD – User traffic is tunneled to the Summit WM Controller and is directly
bridged at the controller to a specific VLAN. WIth this WM-AD type, mobile users become a natural
extension of a VLAN subnet.
Setting up a new WM-AD involves the following general steps:
● Step one – Create a WM-AD name
● Step two – Define the topology parameters
● Step three – Configure the WM-AD
Before you can define the WM-AD topology parameters and configure the WM-AD, you must first
create a new WM-AD name.
