Small System Reference Design
This section details a small system reference design. By understanding the small reference
design one can apply these details to larger networks. A small system reference design is
defined as a network in which the network servers and associated networking hardware are
located at a central location. Wireless or wired bridging may be used to provide connectivity
between the Intelligent Access Points and the switch / router backend.

between the Intelligent Access Points and the switch / router backend.
Our small system reference design has the following attributes:
•
Support for at least 20 IAPs (gateways).
•
All IAPs and MWRs will utilize DHCP for network addressing.
• The Network will be configured and managed with the One Point Wireless
Manager™ application residing on a RedHat ES 4 Linux server.
•
A Windows 2003 RADIUS server will provide authentication for Secure Mesh.
•
The standard small network design does not include server or network hardware
redundancy.

Network Servers
There are two network servers used in the small system reference design. The following is
the recommended hardware configuration for these two servers. Variations from the
recommended hardware configuration may result in inadequate system performance.
