Wireless LAN Topologies
This section discusses ad-hoc and infrastructure wireless LAN topologies.
Ad-Hoc (IBSS)
The simplest WLAN configuration is an independent (Ad-hoc) WLAN that connects a set of computers
with wireless clients. Any time two or more wireless adapters are within range of each other, they can set
up an independent network, which is commonly referred to as an Ad-hoc network or Independent Basic
Service Set (IBSS). The following diagram shows an example of notebook computers using wireless
adapters to form an Ad-hoc wireless LAN. Ad-hoc mode does not require an AP or a wired network.
Diagram 24 IBSS Example
To set up an ad-hoc network, configure all wireless clients in ad-hoc network type
and use the same SSID, channel and security.
Infrastructure (BSS)
A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless clients or between a wireless
client and a wired network client go through one access point (AP).
