Setting up third-party access points
●
Disable the third-party access point's layer-3 IP routing capability and set the access point
to work as a layer-2 bridge.
Here are the differences between third-party access points and Wireless APs on the Controller,
Access Points and Convergence Software system:
●
A third-party access point exchanges data with the HiPath Wireless Controller's data port
using standard IP over ethernet protocol. The third-party access points do not support the
tunnelling protocol for encapsulation.
●
For third-party access points, the VNS is mapped to the physical data port and this is the
default gateway for mobile units supported by the third-party access points.
●
A HiPath Wireless Controller cannot directly control or manage the configuration of a thirdparty access point.
●
Third-party access points are required to broadcast an SSID unique to their segment. This
SSID cannot be used by any other VNS.
●
Roaming from third-party access points to Wireless APs is not supported.
