Deployment guide product model: dws-3000 series, dwl- 3500ap/8500ap version 1.0 unified wired & wireless access system.
Introduction this document is to provide an overview of the variety of ways in which d-link’s wireless solution can be deployed by customers. It would also point out a few pointers to be kept in mind either as limitations or cautions to be taken while deploying the solution in a customer environment...
Deployment scenarios given below are some of the typical deployments - deployment scenario 1 – ws and ap are in the same subnet: this deployment may consist of a single or multiple wlan switches at the edge connected together in the same vlan (subnet), and the aps are either directly connected or co...
Deployment scenario 2 - ws and ap are in different subnets (port-based routing): this deployment consists of a single wlan switch connected to a l3 device (router). Aps are connected to the core with port-based routing. This configuration does require l3 tunneling to accomplish seamless roaming acro...
Deployment scenario 3 - ws and ap are in different subnets (vlan-based routing): this deployment consists of a single wlan switch connected to a l2/3 device, and aps are connected to the core with vlan-based routing (ensure that vlans are properly set). This configuration does not require l3 tunneli...
Deployment scenario 4 - l3 edge peers: this deployment consists of multiple wlan switches connected to a l3 core. Aps are either directly connected to the wlan switch or over a l2 or l3 device. This configuration does require l3 tunneling to accomplish seamless roaming. When tunneling is used, an ex...
Notes: 1. Where to place the ws & ap? The access points need not be directly connected to the switch to be managed by it; besides, the wireless switches need not be directly connected to each other to form a peer network. However, it is necessary that all the switches and the access points are a par...
