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.
There are 3 unique features that D-Link’s solution has
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 connected over a unmanaged switch. In other words, there ar
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 across APs connected to different
L3 only ports on the core.
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 tunneling to accomplish seamless roaming If
the 802.1Q VLAN has be
