Cisco Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Point Referencia técnica

In the switch-based WDS solution, mGRE tunnels are built from the Catalyst 6500 switch hosting the 
WLSM where the WDS is running. Wireless client data is tunneled to the Catalyst 6500 switch where it 
is forwarded appropriately. The mGRE tunnel legs are built when the infrastructure access points register 
with the WDS on the WLSM. Wireless client authentication and MN registration WLCCP messages are 
forwarded to the WLSM for centralized processing. Unlike wireless client data traffic, WLCCP 
messages are not forwarded on the mGRE tunnel legs. Rather, these messages traverse the network like 
standard IP packets. The switch-based WDS architecture offers complete control and data plane 
separation, which are essential elements to true network scalability. The switch-based WDS solution 
facilitates seamless roaming across a Layer 3 WLAN control context and supports up to 300 registered 
infrastructure access points and 6000 MNs per WLSM.
