To Managed by WLAN Controller with Complete Tunnel
Complete Tunnel uses the CAPWAP protocol to communicate with an Access Point so that all
management traffic, authentication traffic and data traffic from the service area AP provided are
transmitted back to the Controller, before forwarding data traffic to the internet. The WLAN controller is
able to implement role-based policies over Layer 3 networks, with user access control available in the
remote sites. This feature allows the WLAN controller to fully support centralized AP management and
user management.
The following procedures may be helpful
1. On AP: to type the IP address for Static Discovery, and wait until the CAPWAP column displays a
“RUN” status.
2. On EWS: to prepare Template of the VAP configuration with CAPWAP Tunnel Interface – “Complete
Tunnel”
3. On EWS: to apply the prepared Template to the CAPWAP-establish AP and the Tunnel status will
show a clickable “Edit” button in black if a VAP is configured to be tunneled back to the controller.
