CHAPTER 7
Wireless LAN (WLAN) Screens
7.1 Overview
In addition to the LAN and DMZ logical networks, the LAN-Cell also provides a Wireless
LAN (WLAN) logical network that can be used to segregate traffic for policy routing, security
or other management purposes.
This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless LAN subnet on the LAN-Cell.
A wireless LAN can be as simple as two computers with wireless LAN adapters
communicating in a peer-to-peer network or as complex as a number of computers with
wireless LAN adapters communicating through access points which bridge network traffic to
the wired LAN.
To add a wireless network to the LAN-Cell, you can either activate the LAN-Cell’s internal
802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi Access Point or connect an external Access Point to a LAN-Cell Ethernet
port and define that port as a WLAN role.
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.
