1 - Getting Started

To install multiple access points with roaming end devices

1. Follow the instructions Using One Access Point in a Simple

Wireless Network on page 19.

2. Configure the LAN ID. For help, see Configuring the Spanning Tree

Parameters on page 113.

3. Configure one of the access points to be a root access point. For help,

see About the Primary LAN and the Root Access Point on page 109.

4. If your network has a switch that is not IEEE 802.1d-compliant and is

located between access points, configure data link tunneling. For

help, see About Data Link Tunneling on page 111.

Using an Access

Point as a WAP

You can extend the range of your wireless network by configuring a dual

radio access point as a Wireless Access Point (WAP). The WAP and the

wireless end devices it communicates with comprise a secondary LAN.

You can position WAPs in strategic locations so they receive data from

end devices, and then forward the data to the wired network. This

configuration can be useful when distance or physical layout impedes

radio reception and transmission.

This illustration shows a simple wireless network with one access point and

one WAP. Wireless end devices use the WAP to forward data to the access

point.

WAPs send data from end devices to the access points via wireless hops.

Wireless hops are formed when data from end devices move from one

access point to another access point through the radio ports. The master

radio in the access point transmits hello messages, which allow the

WAPs to attach to the spanning tree in the same way as access points.

If you have an 802.11b the WAP must contain two radios. The WAP

master radio must match the end devices radios and the WAP station

radio must match the master radio in the access point.
