Network Access

Wireless mesh networks can simultaneously carry two different traffic types: wireless LAN client traffic

and MAP Ethernet port traffic.

Wireless LAN client traffic terminates on the controller, and the Ethernet traffic terminates on the

Ethernet ports of the mesh access points.

Access to the wireless LAN mesh for mesh access points is managed by:

Simple Mesh Network Hierarchy

MAC authentication–Mesh access points are added to a reference-able database to ensure they are

allowed access to a given controller and the mesh network. Refer to

the Mesh Network" section on page
