ProSAFE Wireless Controller • One redundant wireless controller • Four VLANs: VLAN 10, VLAN 20, VLAN 30, and VLAN 40 • Three SSIDs: SSID 1, SSID 2, and SSID 3 In this scenario, the VLANs and SSIDs are used to accommodate traffic for different user groups in a school that is spread out over two buildings. • Building 1: - SSID 1 in VLAN 10 for staff traffic - SSID 2 in VLAN 20 for middle school students - SSID 3 in VLAN 30 for guests • Building 2: - SSID 1 in VLAN 10 for staff traffic - SSID 2 in VLAN 40 for high school students - SSID 3 in VLAN 30 for guests Internet Building 1 SSID 1 Staff VLAN 10 SSID 2 Middle school VLAN 20 SSID 3 Guest VLAN 30 Backend L3 switch or router PoE switch Wireless controller Redundant controller Core switch WNDAP660 Building 2 SSID 1 Staff VLAN 10 SSID 2 High school VLAN 40 SSID 3 Guest VLAN 30 Staff VLAN 10 Ethernet traffic Middle school VLAN 20 Ethernet traffic High school VLAN 40 Ethernet traffic Guest VLAN 30 Ethernet traffic PoE switch WNDAP660 Figure 16. Example: Advanced network with redundancy The access points and wireless controllers are connected in the same subnet and the same VLAN and use the same IP address range that is assigned for that subnet. The core switch is located between the wireless controllers and the PoE switches, to which the access points are connected. The core switch provides Internet access.
