What are the advantages of the use of WDS on a Wireless LAN Services Module (WLSM)?
A. The introduction of switch-based WDS and the WLSM facilitates Layer 3 (L3) fast secure roaming (FSR) and provides a highly scalable solution for L3 mobility in the campus. Switch-based WDS centralizes the functionality of WDS in the WLSM blade in a central switch and provides these benefits: • Increased WDS scalability—The scalability increases to 300 APs and 6000 users across a campus wireless LAN (WLAN) network. • Simplified design and implementation—No VLANs span the campus network. With the use of multipoint generic routing encapsulation (mGRE) architecture, no changes to the current network wired infrastructure are necessary. • Manageability for a large WLAN deployment—This solution provides a single point of ingress for both WLAN control and user data into the wired network for which to apply security and quality of service (QoS) policies.
