Forwarding Traffic Between the Wireless Network and the
Ethernet Network
In summary, the Wireless Edge Services zl Module follows this process to forward
traffic that is sent from wireless stations (via RP radios) into the Ethernet network:
1. The module receives wireless traffic on its internal downlink port in a Radio Port
VLAN.
2. The module enforces any controls applied to the downlink port. Such controls
can include ACLs, either manual or user-based, and user-based rate limits. (For
more information about such controls, see “Controlling Traffic with Policies”
on page 1-33 and “ACLs” on page 1-38.)
3. The module assigns the traffic to the VLAN specified in that station’s
association.
