2 Planning the D-Link Unified Access System Network The D-Link Unified Access System provides continuous, high-speed access between your wireless and Ethernet devices. It is an advanced, scalable, standards-based solution for wireless networking. The D-Link Unified Access System enables wireless local area network (WLAN) deployment while providing state-of-the-art wireless networking features. This chapter contains the following sections to help you plan your D-Link Unified Access System: • System Requirements • WLAN Topology Considerations • Network Planning to Support Layer 3 Roaming System Requirements You accomplish the initial D-Link Unified Switch configuration by using a direct cable connection. After the initial configuration, you can manage the Unified Switch by using a Web-based user interface (UI), command line interface (CLI), or SNMP. The following list describes the minimum requirements you need to install and manage the D-Link Unified Switch: • VT100 terminal or PC with terminal-emulation software • Direct serial connection to the console port of the D-Link Unified Switch • Remote system for management access with a Web browser, Telnet/SSH client, or SNMP manager To support security and networking features in D-Link Unified Access System, you can use the following optional equipment on your network: • A RADIUS server for authentication and accounting features for wireless clients, access points, and peer Unified Switches • Network equipment that supports VLANs • A DHCP server to dynamically assign network information to the switch and to all access points • A Syslog server for external logging System Requirements 33
