Adaptive AP 10-9
10.2 Supported Adaptive AP Topologies
For this version 2.0 release of the access point firmware, the following AAP topologies are supported:
• Extended WLANs Only
• Independent WLANs Only
• Extended WLANs with Independent WLANs
• Extended WLAN with Mesh Networking
10.2.1 Topology Deployment Considerations
When reviewing the AAP topologies describes in the section, be cognizant of the following
considerations to optimize the effectiveness of the deployment:
• An AAP firmware upgrade will not be performed at the time of adoption from the wireless
switch. Instead, the firmware is upgraded using the AP-51x1’s firmware update procedure
(manually or using the DHCP Auto Update feature).
• An AAP can use its LAN1 interface or WAN interface for adoption. The default gateway
interface is set to LAN1. If the WAN Interface is used, explicitly configure WAN as the
default gateway interface.
• Motorola recommends using the LAN1 interface for adoption in multi-cell deployments.
• If you have multiple independent WLANs mapped to different VLANs, the AAP's LAN1
interface requires trunking be enabled with the correct management and native VLAN IDs
configured. Additionally, the AAP needs to be connected to a 802.1q trunk port on the wired
switch.
• Be aware IPSec Mode supports NAT Traversal (NAT-T).
