1-4 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 1.1.3 Power Setting Configuration The AP-7131 power setting feature enables the user to select one of two power operating modes, legacy IEEE802.3af or Automatic. If IEEE802.3af is selected, the AP is configured assuming 12.95 watts are available. If Automatic is selected, the AP automatically determines the best configuration based on available power and the access point SKU.
Introduction For detailed information on configuring the LAN port, see Configuring the LAN Interface on page 5-1. A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a widely dispersed telecommunications network. In a corporate environment, the WAN port might connect to a larger corporate network. For a small business, the WAN port might connect to a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet. Regardless, network address information must be configured for the access point’s intended mode of operation.
1-6 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide To enable and configure WLANs on an access point radio, see Enabling Wireless LANs (WLANs) on page 5-28. 1.1.10 Support for 4 BSSIDs per Radio The access point supports four BSSIDs per radio. Each BSSID has a corresponding MAC address. The first MAC address corresponds to BSSID #1. The MAC addresses for the other three BSSIDs (BSSIDs #2, #3, #4) are derived by adding 1, 2, 3, respectively, to the radio MAC address.
Introduction For detailed information on configuring QoS support, see Setting the WLAN Quality of Service (QoS) Policy on page 5-41. 1.1.12 Industry Leading Data Security The access point supports numerous encryption and authentication techniques to protect the data transmitting on the WLAN.
1-8 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide (specified in RFC 1510) to authenticate users/clients in a wireless network environment and to securely distribute the encryption keys used for both encrypting and decrypting. A basic understanding of RFC 1510 Kerberos Network Authentication Service (V5) is helpful in understanding how Kerberos works. By default, WLAN devices operate in an open system network where any wireless device can associate with an AP without authorization.
Introduction formulas called algorithms, before the information is transmitted. An algorithm is a set of instructions or formula for scrambling the data. A key is the specific code used by the algorithm to encrypt or decrypt the data. Decryption is the decoding and unscrambling of received encrypted data. The same device, host computer or front-end processor, usually performs both encryption and decryption.
1-10 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide • • • a message integrity check an extended initialization vector with sequencing rules a re-keying mechanism WPA uses an encryption method called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). WPA employs 802.1X and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). For detailed information on WPA using TKIP configurations, see Configuring WPA/WPA2 Using TKIP on page 6-20. 1.1.12.6 WPA2-CCMP (802.11i) Encryption WPA2 is a newer 802.

Introduction Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install power drops at each access point location. An approved Power Injector solution merges power and Ethernet into one cable, reducing the burden of installation and allows optimal access point placement in respect to the intended radio coverage area. An AP-7131 can only use a Power-over-Ethernet device when connected to the LAN (GE1/POE) port. The AP-7131 Power Injector (Part No.
1-14 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 1.1.20 Support for CAM and PSP MUs The access point supports both CAM and PSP powered MUs. CAM (Continuously Aware Mode) MUs leave their radios on continuously to hear every beacon and message transmitted. These systems operate without any adjustments by the access point. A beacon is a uniframe system packet broadcast by the AP to keep the network synchronized.
Introduction 1.1.23 Advanced Event Logging Capability The access point periodically logs system events. Logging events is useful in assessing the throughput and performance of the access point or troubleshooting problems on the access point managed Local Area Network (LAN). For detailed information on access point events, see Logging Configuration on page 4-44. 1.1.
1-16 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide The DHCP client automatically sends a DHCP request at an interval specified by the DHCP server to renew the IP address lease as long as the access point is running (this parameter is programmed at the DHCP server). For example: Windows 2000 servers typically are set for 3 days. 1.1.27 Multi-Function LEDs Five LEDs illuminate on the front of the AP-7131 (on top of the AP-7131 housing) for dual radios models and four illuminate for single radio models.
Introduction Once the access point (in client bridge mode) establishes at least one wireless connection, it establishes other wireless connections in the background as they become available. In this way, the access point can establish simultaneous redundant links. An access point (in client bridge mode) can establish up to 3 simultaneous wireless connections with other access points.
1-18 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide screen enables the administrator to set WLAN access based on user groups defined within the User Database screen.

Introduction For information on enabling QBSS and defining the channel utilization transmission interval, see Configuring the 802.11a/n or 802.11b/g/n Radio on page 5-57. 1.2 Theory of Operations To understand access point management and performance alternatives, users need familiarity with functionality and configuration options. The access point includes features for different interface connections and network management.
1-22 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide • • Management Access Options AP-7131 MAC Address Assignment 1.2.1 Wireless Coverage An access point establishes an average communication range with MUs called a Basic Service Set (BSS) or cell. When in a particular cell, the MU associates and communicates with the access point supporting the radio coverage area of that cell. Adding access points to a single LAN establishes more cells to extend the range of the network.
Introduction interface to another. The bridge forwards packets addressed to unknown systems to the Default Interface (Ethernet). The access point internal stack interface handles all messages directed to the access point. Each stores information on destinations and their interfaces to facilitate forwarding. When a user sends an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) request packet, the access point forwards it over all enabled interfaces except over the interface the ARP request packet was received.
1-24 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide Intercepting and decoding a direct-sequence transmission requires a predefined algorithm to associate the spreading code used by the transmitting access point to the receiving MU. This algorithm is established by IEEE 802.11b specifications. The bit redundancy within the chipping sequence enables the receiving MU to recreate the original data pattern, even if bits in the chipping sequence are corrupted by interference.
Introduction • Ratio of good-transmitted packets to attempted-transmitted packets that fall below a threshold. An MU selects the best available access point and adjusts itself to the access point direct-sequence channel to begin association. Once associated, the access point begins forwarding frames addressed to the target MU. Each frame contains fields for the current direct-sequence channel. The MU uses these fields to resynchronize to the access point.
1-26 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide The access point requires one of the following connection methods to perform a custom installation and manage the network: • • • Secure Java-Based WEB UI - (use Sun Microsystems’ JRE 1.

Configuring Mesh Networking 9.1 Mesh Networking Overview An AP-7131 can be configured in two modes to support the new mesh networking functionality. The access point can be set to a client bridge mode and/or a base bridge mode (which accepts connections from client bridges). Base bridge and client bridge mode can be used at the same time by an individual access point to optimally bridge traffic to other members of the mesh network and service associated MUs.
9-2 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide access points configured as both a base and a client bridge function as repeaters to transmit data with associated MUs in their coverage area (client bridge mode) as well as forward traffic to other access points in the mesh network (base bridge mode). The number of access points and their intended function within the mesh network dictate whether they should be configured as base bridges, client bridges or both (repeaters).
Configuring Mesh Networking If an access point is configured as a base bridge (but not as a client bridge) it operates normally at boot time. The base bridge supports connections made by other client bridges. The dual-radio model access point affords users better optimization of the mesh networking feature by enabling the access point to transmit to other mesh network members using one independent radio and transmit with associated MUs using the second independent radio.
9-4 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide The access point in client bridge mode attempts to establish up to 3 simultaneous wireless connections. The second and third connections are established in the background while the system is running. The first connection needs to be established before the system starts bridging traffic.
Configuring Mesh Networking 9.1.3 Defining the Mesh Topology When a user wants to control how the spanning tree determines client bridge connections, they need to control the mesh configuration. The user must be able to define one node as the root. Assigning a base bridge the lowest bridge priority defines it as the root. NOTE Motorola recommends using the Mesh STP Configuration screen to define a base bridge as a root.
9-6 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 9.1.5 Normal Operation Once the mesh network is defined, all normal access point operations are still allowed. MUs are still allowed to associate with the access point as usual. The user can create WLANs, security polices and VLANs as with any other access point. DHCP services function normally and all layer 3 communications are allowed.
Configuring Mesh Networking As the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) mentions, each mesh network maintains hello, forward delay and max age timers. The base bridge defined as the root imposes these settings within the mesh network. The user does not necessarily have to change these settings, as the default settings will work. However, Motorola encourages the user to define an access point as a base bridge and root (using the base bridge priority settings within the Bridge STP Configuration screen).
9-8 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide Priority Set the Priority as low as possible for a to force other devices within the mesh network to defer to this client bridge as the bridge defining the mesh configuration (commonly referred to as the root). Motorola recommends assigning a Base Bridge AP with the lowest bridge priority so it becomes the root in the STP. If a root already exists, set the Bridge Priorities of new APs accordingly so the root of the STP doesn't get altered.
Configuring Mesh Networking 9.2.2 Configuring a WLAN for Mesh Networking Support Each access point comprising a particular mesh network is required to be a member of the same WLAN. Therefore, each base bridge, client bridge or repeater within the mesh network must use the same WLAN in order to share the same ESSID, radio designation, security policy, MU ACL and Quality of Service policy.
9-10 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 3. Assign an ESSID and Name to the WLAN that each access point will share when using this WLAN within their mesh network. Motorola recommends assigning a unique name to a WLAN supporting a mesh network to differentiate it from WLANs defined for non mesh support. The name assigned to the WLAN is what is selected from the Radio Configuration screen for use within the mesh network.
Configuring Mesh Networking NOTE It is possible to have different ESSID and WLAN assignments within a single mesh network (one set between the Base Bridge and repeater and another between the repeater and Client Bridge). However, for ease of management and to not waste network bandwidth, Motorola recommends using the same ESSID across the entire mesh network. 4. Use the Available On checkboxes to specify the access point radio(s) used with the target WLAN within the mesh network.
9-12 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide If none of the existing policies are suitable, select the Create button to the right of the Security Policy drop-down menu and configure a policy suitable for the mesh network. For information on configuring a security using the authentication and encryption techniques available to the access point, see Enabling Authentication and Encryption Schemes on page 6-5. 8.
Configuring Mesh Networking 10. Select the Use Secure Beacon checkbox to not transmit the ESSID amongst the access points and devices within the mesh network. If a hacker tries to find an ESSID via an MU, the access point’s ESSID does not display since the ESSID is not in the beacon. Motorola recommends keeping the option enabled to reduce the likelihood of hacking into the WLAN. 11.
9-14 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide To configure the access point radio for mesh networking support: NOTE The dual-radio model access point affords users better optimization of the mesh network feature by allowing the access point to transmit to other access points (in base or client bridge mode) using one independent radio and transmit with its associated devices using the second independent radio.
Configuring Mesh Networking Configuration screen, the Radio Status and MUs connected values update. If this is an existing radio within a mesh network, these values update in real-time. ! CAUTION If a radio is disabled, be careful not to accidentally configure a new WLAN, expecting the radio to be operating when you have forgotten it was disabled. 3. Select the Base Bridge checkbox to allow the access point radio to accept client bridge connections from other access points in client bridge mode.
9-16 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide If the Client Bridge checkbox has been selected, use the Mesh Network Name drop-down menu to select the WLAN (ESS) the client bridge uses to establish a wireless link. The default setting, is (WLAN1). Motorola recommends creating (and naming) a WLAN specifically for mesh networking support to differentiate the Mesh supported WLAN from non-Mesh supported WLANs.
Configuring Mesh Networking the user from selecting the order base bridges are added to the mesh network when one of the three associated base bridges becomes unavailable. NOTE Auto link selection is based on the RSSI and load. The client bridge will select the best available link when the Automatic Link Selection checkbox is selected. Motorola recommends you do not disable this option, as (when enabled) the access point will select the best base bridge for connection. 8.
9-18 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 12. Highlight a MAC address from the Preferred Base Bridge List and click the Up button to assign that device’s MAC address a higher priority and a greater likelihood of joining the mesh network if an association with another device is lost. If a MAC address is not desirable as others but still worthy of being on the preferred list, select it, and click the Down button to decrease its likelihood of being selected as a member of the mesh network. 13.
Configuring Mesh Networking Enabled If the mesh connection is down on one radio (radio 1), the other radio (radio 2) is brought down and stops beaconing after the timeout period (45 seconds). This allows the client bridge (radio 1) to roam without dropping the MU's associated to radio 2. The disadvantage is that radio 2 may beacon for the 45 second timeout period and have to drop associated MU's because radio 1 could not establish its uplink.
9-20 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 9.3 Mesh Network Deployment - Quick Setup This section provides instructions on how to quickly setup and demonstrate mesh functionality using three access points. Two following two deployment scenarios will be addressed: • • Scenario 1 - Two base bridges (redundant) and one client bridge Scenario 2 - A two hop mesh network with a base bridge, repeater (combined base bridge and client bridge mode) and a client bridge. 9.3.
Configuring Mesh Networking NOTE Enable the LAN1 Interface of AP#1 as a DHCP Server if you intend to associate MUs and require them to obtain an IP address via DHCP. 2. Assign a Mesh STP Priority of 40000 to LAN1 Interface.
9-22 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 3. Define a mesh supported WLAN. 4. Enable base bridge functionality on the 802.11a/n radio (Radio 2).
Configuring Mesh Networking 5. Define a channel of operation for the 802.11a/n radio.
9-24 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 6. If needed, create another WLAN mapped to the 802.11b/g/n radio if 802.11b/g/n support is required for MUs on that 802.11 band.
Configuring Mesh Networking 9.3.1.2 Configuring AP#2 AP#2 can be configured the same as AP#1 with the following exceptions: • • Assign an IP Address to the LAN1 Interface different than that of AP#1 Assign a higher Mesh STP Priority 50000 to the AP#2 LAN1 Interface. NOTE In a typical deployment, each base bridge can be configured for a Mesh STP Priority of 50000.
9-26 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 9.3.1.3 Configuring AP#3 To define the configuration for AP#3 (a client bridge connecting to both AP#1 and AP#2 simultaneously): 1. Provide a known IP address for the LAN1 interface. 2. Assign the maximum value (65535) for the Mesh STP Priority.
Configuring Mesh Networking 3. Create a mesh supported WLAN with the Enable Client Bridge Backhaul option selected. NOTE This WLAN should not be mapped to any radio. Therefore, leave both of the “Available On” radio options unselected. 4. Select the Client Bridge checkbox to enable client bridge functionality on the 802.11a/n radio. Use the Mesh Network Name drop-down menu to select the name of the WLAN created in step 3. NOTE You don't need to configure channel settings on the client bridge (AP#3).
9-28 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 5. If needed, create another WLAN mapped to the 802.11b/g/n radio if 802.11b/g/n support is required for MUs on that 802.11 band. 9.3.1.4 Verifying Mesh Network Functionality for Scenario #1 You now have a three AP mesh network ready to demonstrate. Associate a single MU on each AP WLAN configured for 802.11b/g/n radio support. Once completed, pass traffic among the three APs comprising the mesh network.
Configuring Mesh Networking 9.3.2 Scenario 2 - Two Hop Mesh Network with a Base Bridge Repeater and a Client Bridge By default, the mesh algorithm runs an automatic link selection algorithm to determine the best possible active and redundant links. If member APs are not far apart (in physical distance), the algorithm intelligently chooses a single hop link to forward data. To force APs to use multiple hops for demonstrations, use manual links.
9-30 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 9.3.2.2 Configuring AP#2 AP#2 requires the following modifications from AP#2 in the previous scenario to function in base bridge/client bridge repeater mode. 1. Enable client bridge backhaul on the mesh supported WLAN.
Configuring Mesh Networking 2. Enable client and base bridge functionality on the 802.11a/n radio 9.3.2.3 Configuring AP#3 To define AP #3’s configuration: 1. The only change needed on AP#3 (with respect to the configuration used in scenario #1), is to disable the Auto Link Selection option. Click the Advanced button within the Mesh Client Bridge Settings field.
9-32 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 2. Add the 802.11a/n Radio MAC Address. In scenario #2, the mesh WLAN is mapped to BSS1 on the 802.11a/n radio if each AP. The Radio MAC Address (the BSSID#1 MAC Address) is used for the AP#2 Preferred Base Bridge List. Ensure both the AP#1 and AP#2 Radio MAC Addresses are in the Available Base Bridge List. Add the AP#2 MAC Address into the Preferred Base Bridge List. 3. Determine the Radio MAC Address and BSSID MAC Addresses.
Configuring Mesh Networking 9.3.2.4 Verifying Mesh Network Functionality for Scenario #2 You now have a three AP demo multi-hop mesh network ready to demonstrate. Associate an MU on the WLANs configured on the 802.11b/g/n radio for each AP and pass traffic among the members of the mesh network.
9-34 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 9.4 Mesh Networking Frequently Asked Questions The following scenarios represent issues that could be encountered and resolved when defining an AP-7131 supported mesh configuration: Mesh Deployment Issue 1 - Client Bridge can only connect to one of two Base Bridges You have two access points configured as base bridges (AP1, AP2) and one access point defined as a as a client bridge (AP3).
Configuring Mesh Networking Mesh Deployment Issue 4 - Do I need to map a WLAN to a radio when configuring mesh backhaul on a Client Bridge? When creating a mesh backhaul WLAN on a client bridge only AP, do you need to map the WLAN on a radio? Resolution No, a client bridge only AP behaves just like an MU! It scans for base bridges and forms connections to them. It doesn't need to beacon on that WLAN.
9-36 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide Mesh Deployment Issue 8 - Can I mesh between an AP-7131, AP-5131 and an AP-5181? Can I mesh between these three models? Resolution Yes, the access points are fairly close from a software deployment standpoint. So it is a supported configuration for three models to exist in a single topology.
Configuring Mesh Networking Resolution Yes, mesh nodes also support Automatic Firmware/Configuration updates using DHCP Options. Make sure you create DHCP reservations for each mesh node and add an appropriate configuration file to each one of them. If you don’t, the base bridge configuration file could get applied on a client bridge or repeater and you will loose connectivity to that AP.
9-38 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide
Adaptive AP 10.1 Adaptive AP Overview An adaptive AP (AAP) is an AP-7131 access point that can adopt like an AP300 (L3). The management of an AAP is conducted by the switch, once the access point connects to a Motorola WS5100, RFS6000 or RFS7000 model switch and receives its AAP configuration. An AAP provides: • • • • local 802.
10-2 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide The benefits of an AAP deployment include: • • • • Centralized Configuration Management & Compliance - Wireless configurations across distributed sites can be centrally managed by the wireless switch or cluster. WAN Survivability - Local WLAN services at a remote sites are unaffected in the case of a WAN outage.
Adaptive AP 10.1.2 Adaptive AP Management An AAP can be adopted, configured and managed like a thin access port from the wireless switch. NOTE To support AAP functionality, a WS5100 model switch must be running firmware version 3.1 or higher, whereas a RFS6000 or RFS7000 model switch must be running firmware version 1.1 or higher. The access point must running firmware version 2.0 or higher to be converted into an AAP. NOTE An AAP cannot support a firmware download from the wireless switch.
10-4 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 10.1.4.1 Auto Discovery using DHCP Extended Global Options 189, 190, 191, 192 can be used or Embedded Option 43 - Vendor Specific options can be embedded in Option 43 using the vendor class identifier: MotorolaAP.71xx-V3-2-0.
Adaptive AP 10.1.4.2 Manual Adoption Configuration A manual switch adoption of an AAP can be conducted using: • • Static FQDN - A switch fully qualified domain name can be specified to perform a DNS lookup and switch discovery. Static IP addresses - Up to 12 switch IP addresses can be manually specified in an ordered list the AP can choose from. When providing a list, the AAP tries to adopt based on the order in which they are listed (from 1-12).
10-6 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 10.1.7 Configuration Updates An AAP receives its configuration from the switch initially as part of its adoption sequence. Subsequent configuration changes on the switch are reflected on an AAP when applicable. An AAP applies the configuration changes it receives from the switch after 30 seconds from the last received switch configuration message.
Adaptive AP 10.1.10 Remote Site Survivability (RSS) RSS can be used to turn off RF activity on an AAP if it loses adoption (connection) to the switch. RSS State Independent WLANs Extended WLANs RSS Enabled WLAN continues beaconing WLAN continues beaconing but AP does allow clients to associate on that WLAN RSS Disabled WLAN stops beaconing WLAN stops beaconing NOTE For a dependant AAP, independent WLANs continue to beacon for three days in the absence of a switch. 10.1.
10-8 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 10.2 Supported Adaptive AP Topologies For this version 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.
Adaptive AP 10.2.2 Extended WLANs Only An extended WLAN configuration forces all MU traffic through the switch. No wireless traffic is locally bridged by the AAP. Each extended WLAN is mapped to the access point's virtual LAN2 subnet. By default, the access point's LAN2 is not enabled and the default configuration is set to static with IP addresses defined as all zeros.
10-10 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 10.2.5 Extended WLAN with Mesh Networking Mesh networking is an extension of the existing wired network. There is no special configuration required, with the exceptions of setting the mesh and using it within one of the two extended VLAN configurations and defining an access point radio as a preferred base bridge. NOTE The mesh backhaul WLAN must be an independent WLAN mapped to LAN1.
Adaptive AP • Configure the switch’s IP address on the AAP • Provide the switch IP address using DHCP option 189 on a DHCP server. The IP address is a comma delimited string of IP addresses. For example "157.235.94.91, 10.10.10.19". There can be a maximum of 12 IP addresses. • Configure the switch’s FQDN on the AAP. The AAP can use this to resolve the IP address of the switch. 2. Use the switch’s secret password on the AAP for the switch to authenticate it.
10-12 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 10.4 Establishing Basic Adaptive AP Connectivity This section defines the activities required to configure basic AAP connectivity with a WS5100, RFS6000 or RFS7000 model switch. In establishing a basic AAP connection, both the access point and switch require modifications to their respective default configurations.
Adaptive AP 2. Select the Auto Discovery Enable checkbox. Enabling auto discovery will allow the AAP to be detected by a switch once its connectivity medium has been configured (by completing steps 3-6) 3. Enter up to 12 Switch IP Addresses constituting the target switches available for AAP connection. The AAP will begin establishing a connection with the first addresses in the list. If unsuccessful, the AP will continue down the list (in order) until a connection is established. 4.
10-14 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 7. Click Apply to save the changes to the AAP setup. NOTE The manual AAP adoption described above can also be conducted using the access point’s CLI interface using the admin(system.aapsetup)> command. 10.4.1.2 Adopting an Adaptive AP Using a Configuration File To adopt an AAP using a configuration file: 1. Refer to Adopting an Adaptive AP Manually and define the AAP switch connection parameters. 2. Export the AAP’s configuration to a secure location.
Adaptive AP 10.4.2 Switch Configuration Both a WS5100 (running firmware version 3.1 or later) or a RFS6000/ RFS7000 (running firmware version 1.1 or later) require an explicit adaptive configuration to adopt an access point (if IPSec is not being used for adoption). The same licenses currently used for AP300 adoption can be used for an AAP. Disable the switch’s Adopt unconfigured radios automatically option and manually add AAPs requiring adoption, or leave as default.
10-16 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 5. Select the target WLAN you would like to use for AAP support from those displayed and click the Edit button. 6. Select the Independent Mode (AAP Only) checkbox. Selecting the checkbox designates the WLAN as independent and prevents traffic from being forwarded to the switch. Independent WLANs behave like WLANs as used on a a standalone access point.
Adaptive AP Once an AAP is adopted by the switch, it displays within the switch Access Port Radios screen (under the Network parent menu item) as an AP-7131 within the AP Type column.
10-18 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 10.4.3 Adaptive AP Deployment Considerations Before deploying your switch/AAP configuration, refer to the following usage caveats to optimize its effectiveness: • • • • • • • • Extended WLANs are mapped to the AP’s LAN2 interface and all independent WLANs are mapped to the AP’s LAN1 Interface.
Adaptive AP 10.4.4 Sample Switch Configuration File for IPSec and Independent WLAN The following constitutes a sample RFS7000 switch configuration file supporting an AAP IPSec with Independent WLAN configuration. Please note new AAP specific CLI commands in red and relevant comments in blue. The sample output is as follows: ! ! configuration of RFS7000 RFS7000-1 version 1.1.0.0-016D ! version 1.

To configure Global options using extended/standard options: 1. Set the Windows DHCP Server and access point on the same Ethernet segment. 2. Configure the Windows based DHCP Server as follows: a. Highlight the Server Domain Name (for example, apfw.motorola.com). From the Action menu, select Set Predefined Options. b.
Usage Scenarios By default, auto update is enabled on the access point (since the LAN Port is a DHCP Client, out-of-the-box auto update support is on the LAN Port). 4. Restart the access point. 5. While the access point boots up, verify the access point: • Obtains and applies the expected IP Address from the DHCP Server • Downloads the firmware and configuration files from the TFTP Server and updates both as required. Verify the file versions within the System Settings screen.
B-6 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If the DHCP Server is configured for options 186 and 66 (to assign TFTP Server IP addresses) the access point uses the IP address configured for option 186. Similarly, if the DHCP Server is configured for options 187 and 67 (for the firmware file) the access point uses the file name configured for option 187.
Usage Scenarios B.1.2.1 BootP Options This section contains instructions for the automatic update of the access point firmware and configuration file using a BootP Server. The setup example described in this section includes: • • • 1 AP-7131 model access point 1 Linux/Unix BOOTP Server 1 TFTP Server. To configure BootP options using a Linux/Unix BootP Server: 1.

Usage Scenarios NOTE If the firmware files are the same, the firmware will not get updated. If the configuration file name matches the last used configuration file on the access point or if the configuration file versions are the same, the access point configuration will not get updated. The LAN Port needs to be configured as a BootP client. There's no BootP support on the WAN Port. The WAN supports only DHCP. B.1.2.
B-10 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide B.2 Configuring an IPSEC Tunnel and VPN FAQs The access point has the capability to create a tunnel between an access point and a VPN endpoint. The access point can also create a tunnel from one access point to another access point. The following instruction assumes the reader is familiar with basic IPSEC and VPN terminology and technology.
Usage Scenarios 5. Enter the WAN port IP address of AP #1 for the Local WAN IP. 6. Within the Remote Subnet and Remote Subnet Mask fields, enter the LAN IP subnet and mask of AP #2 /Device #2. 7. Enter the WAN port IP address of AP #2/ Device #2 for a Remote Gateway. 8. Click Apply to save the changes. NOTE For this example, Auto IKE Key Exchange is used. Any key exchange can be used, depending on the security needed, as long as both devices on each end of the tunnel are configured exactly the same. 9.
B-12 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 11. For the ESP Type, select ESP with Authentication and use AES 128-bit as the ESP encryption algorithm and MD5 as the authentication algorithm. Click OK. 12. Select the IKE Settings button. 13. Select Pre Shared Key (PSK) from the IKE Authentication Mode drop-down menu. 14. Enter a Passphrase. Passphrases must match on both VPN devices.

Usage Scenarios B.2.3 Frequently Asked VPN Questions The following are common questions that arise when configuring a VPN tunnel. • Question 1: Does the access point IPSec tunnel support multiple subnets on the other end of a VPN concentrator? Yes. The access point can access multiple subnets on the other end of the VPN Concentrator from the access point's Local LAN Subnet by: • Creating multiple VPN Tunnels. The AP supports a maximum of 25 tunnels.
B-16 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide • Question 6: Can an IPSec tunnel over a PPPoE connection be established - such as a PPPoE enabled DSL link? Yes. The access point supports tunneling when using a PPPoE username and password. • Question 7: Can I setup an access point so clients can access both the WAN normally and only use the VPN when talking to specific networks? Yes. Only packets that match the VPN Tunnel Settings will be sent through the VPN tunnel.
Usage Scenarios • Question 9: I am using a direct cable connection between my two VPN gateways for testing and cannot get a tunnel established, yet it works when I set them up across another network or router. Why? The packet processing architecture of the access point VPN solution requires the WAN default gateway to work properly. When connecting two gateways directly, you don't need a default gateway when the two addresses are on the same subnet.
B-18 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide • • Verify you can ping each of the remote Gateway IP addresses from clients on either side. Failed pings can indicate general network connection problems. • Pinging the internal gateway address of the remote subnet should run the ping through the tunnel as well. Allowing you to test, even if there are no clients on the remote end. • Try re-setting the shared secret password on the access point.
Usage Scenarios Dst Transport UDP Scr port 1:65535 Dst port 500 Rev NAT None These three rules should be configured above all other rules (default or user defined). When Advanced LAN Access is used, certain inbound/outbound rules need to be configured to control incoming/outgoing packet flow for IPSec to work properly (with Advanced LAN Access). These rules should be configured first before other rules are configured.
