4-28 Motorola RF Switch System Reference Guide
Independent Mode
(AAP Only)
Determines whether the WLAN is functioning as an independent or extended
WLAN in regards its support of adaptive AP (AAP) operation. Select the checkbox
to designate the WLAN as independent and prevent traffic from being forwarded
to the switch. Independent WLANs behave like WLANs as used on a a standalone
Access Point. Leave this option unselected (as is by default) to keep this WLAN an
extended WLAN (a typical centralized WLAN created on the switch).
For an overview of AAP and how it is configured and deployed using the switch
and Access Point, see Adaptive AP Overview
Client Bridge
Backhaul
When the Independent Mode (AAP Only) option is selected, this option becomes
available for selection. Enable Client Bridge Backhaul to make the WLAN
available to support mesh networking. Only WLANs defined for mesh networking
support should have this checkbox selected.
VLAN ID Assign the revised VLAN ID for this WLAN. Select the Dynamic Assignment
checkbox for an user based VLAN assignment when 802.1x EAP Authentication is
used.
Dynamic Assignment With any authentication method that involves a Radius server, the Radius server
may be configured to include a VLAN Id attribute in its "ACCESS Accept" response.
This VLAN, instead of the configured VLAN(s) on this WLAN, will be assigned to
the mobile unit. Enabling this check mark will enable switch to take VLAN ID from
Radius response. When disabled, switch will ignore the VLAN ID from Radius
response.
Assign Multiple
VLANs
Click this button when it is desirable to assign multiple VLANs to this WLAN. For
more information, seeAssigning Multiple VLANs per WLAN on page 4-31.
NOTE: If the WLAN is to support AAP, the Independent Mode (AAP Only) checkbox
must be selected. Additionally, the Access Point must have its auto discovery option
enabled to be discovered by the switch. For information on configuring an Access Point for
AAP support, see Adaptive AP Configuration.
NOTE: For a Radius supported VLAN to function, the Dynamic Assignment checkbox
must be enabled for the WLAN supporting the VLAN.
NOTE: When configuring wireless settings for Adaptive APs all configuration must be
done through the switch and not from the AP management console. Making changes
directly in the AP management console can lead to unstable operation of the Adaptive AP.
