These devices would normally be capable or equipped to perform Network Address Translation to allow all those devices to get to the internet. Wired may also refer to peripheral devices like wired keyboards and mice. Peripherals such as monitors and external hard drives also use cables, but they are scarcely called wired devices since wireless options are not generally available. Additionally, LAPs also handle time-sensitive functions such as Layer 2 encryption enabling WLANs to securely support voice, video, and data applications.
Please follow the configuration below. As you can see from Figure 3. This interface need to be made into a trunk or tagged port so vlan traffic from the Access Point can speak on the network. How to configure the interface connecting the Lightweight Access point to the Wired Network The Lightweight Access Point LAP depends completely on the Wireless Controller for configuration information to get it perform its task as an extension to the wired network.
It therefore does not need to connect as a trunk port to the Wired Switch Network but as a normal Access Switch-port otherwise known as Untagged in other vendor circles. Please follow the configuration below in order to connect a wireless access point to a wired network. Configuration — Configure the interface connecting the Lightweight Access point to the Wired Network. So here you have it, a rather informative post for a simple configuration but like always Expert Network Consultant cares about quality of the information we are giving you.
Choose the types of client stations that you want to support by checking the check boxes in the WPA Versions area. Note: If the network has a mix of clients, check both of the check boxes. This WPA configuration allows more interoperability in place of some security.
In the Key field, enter a password consisting of 8 to 63 characters. Each wireless device that would try to connect to this wireless network will be asked for this authentication key. Note: The Key Strength Meter area shows colored bars based on the strength of the key that you have created.
In this example, Str0ngPassw0rd! In the Broadcast Key Refresh Rate field, enter a value from 0 to seconds. This is the interval at which the broadcast group key is refreshed for clients associated with this VAP. Optional Check or uncheck the check box under Channel Isolation to enable or disable it depending on your preference. The WAP still allows data traffic between its wireless clients and the wired devices on the network, across a Wireless Distribution System WDS link, and with other wireless clients associated with a different VAP, but not among the wireless clients.
When disabled, the wireless clients can communicate with one another normally by sending traffic through the WAP.
Note: In this example, Channel Isolation is disabled. Optional Check or uncheck the check box under Band Steer to enable or disable it depending on your preference. This feature is for dual-band WAPs only.
Enabling band steer effectively utilizes the 5 GHz band by steering dual-band supported clients from the 2. You should now have successfully added a wireless network to your existing wired network using a wireless access point as shown in the diagram below.
