Revoking an AP
In some cases, if an AP in the whitelist is retired from active usage, you can set the AP as revoked. This option
restricts the AP from connecting to your controller. To revoke a remote AP:
1. Select an AP from the whitelist by selecting the checkbox.
2. Click the Modify button.
3. Select the checkbox under the Revoked column.
4. Click the Update button.
Deploying a Branch Office/Home Office Solution
In a branch office, the AP is deployed in a separate IP network from the corporate network. Typically, there are
one or two NAT devices between the two networks. Branch office users need access to corporate resources like
printers and servers but traffic to and from these resources must not impact the corporate head office.
The Figure 30 is a graphic representation of a remote AP in a branch or home office with a single controller
providing access to both a corporate WLAN and a branch office WLAN.
Figure 30 Remote AP with Single Controller
Branch office users want continued operation of the branch office WLAN even if the link to the corporate
network goes down. The branch office AP solves these requirements by providing the following capabilities on the
branch office WLAN:
Local termination of 802.11 management frames which provides survivability of the branch office WLAN.
All 802.1x authenticator functionality is implemented in the AP. The controller is used as a RADIUS pass-
through when the authenticator has to communicate with a RADIUS server (which also supports
survivability).
802.11 encryption/decryption is in the AP to provide access to local resources.
Local bridging of client traffic connected to the WLAN or to an AP 70 enet1 port to provide access to local
resources.
Configuring the branch office AP
Specify forward mode for the Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID) in the virtual AP profile
Specify remote AP operation in the virtual AP profile (by default, the remote AP operates in standard mode)
Set how long the AP stays up after connectivity to controller has gone down in the SSID profile
Set the VLAN ID in the virtual AP profile
Set the native VLAN ID in the AP system profile
