VLAN configuration
It is often desirable to separate SVP packets from other data streams once the traffic enters
the wired network. In the Meru solution, creating a VLAN entry in the controller and assigning
it to the SVP ESSID achieves this. This is an optional configuration component.
Deployment modes
The Meru Networks Air Traffic Control system supports two modes of deployment: Virtual Cell
and non-Virtual Cell. In Virtual Cell mode, all of the access points on the same channel will
utilize a single BSSID. This allows the system to perform client handoffs between access
points without the client devices needing to perform 802.11 or 802.1X re-association
procedures to the new access point. In a high density environment it is required that you use
non-Virtual Cell mode with the wireless IP telephones, since the they are optimized to work
with a multi-channel deployment and perform admission control based on access point
BSSID’s. Following are the specific settings in order to run in non-Virtual Cell mode.
