An autonomous AP can be used to create a wireless extension to an existing network and
provide intelligent data-forwarding that maintains the security of the network. For example:
In this scenario an AP is installed on an existing corporate network to provide wireless
networking services for employees. Since the AP functions as a DHCP client and all its ports
are bridged, it simply creates a wireless extension to the existing network.
Security for the wireless network is provided using 802.1X. The AP uses the existing RADIUS
server on the corporate network to validate employee logins.
If you deploy more than one AP, the APs can be:
Interconnected using a backbone LAN.
Linked with other APs through a local mesh link.
