Summit WM-Series Switch Software terms and abbreviations

Term Explanation

CTP CAPWAP Tunnelling Protocol (CTP). The Altitude AP uses a UDP (User

Datagram Protocol) based tunnelling protocol called CAPWAP Tunnelling

Protocol (CTP) to encapsulate the 802.11 packets and forward them to the

Summit WM-Series Switch.

The CTP protocol defines a mechanism for the control and provisioning of

wireless access points (CAPWAP) through centralized access controllers.

In addition, it provides a mechanism providing the option to tunnel the

mobile client data between the access point and the access controller.

Auto Cell The Auto Cell feature consists of software on the Altitude AP that

provides dynamic radio frequency (RF) management. For Altitude APs

with the Auto Cell feature enabled and on a common channel, the power

levels will be adjusted to balance coverage if a Altitude AP is added to, or

leaves, the network. The feature also allows wireless clients to be moved

to another Altitude AP if the load is too high. The feature can also be set

to scan automatically for a channel, using a channel selection algorithm.

Summit WM-Series Switch The Summit WM-Series Switch is a rack-mountable network device

designed to be integrated into an existing wired Local Area Network

(LAN). It provides centralized control over all access points (both Altitude

APs and third-party access points) and manages the network assignment

of wireless device clients associating through access points.

Langley “Langley” is a Summit WM-Series Switch Software term for the inter-

process messaging infrastructure on the Summit WM-Series Switch.

Summit Spy The Summit Spy is a mechanism that assists in the detection of rogue

access points. The feature has three components: (1) a radio frequency (RF)

scanning task that runs on the Altitude AP, (2) an application called the

RF Data Collector (RFDC) on the Summit WM-Series Switch that receives

and manages the RF scan messages sent by the Altitude AP, (3) an

Analysis Engine on the Summit WM-Series Switch that processes the scan

data.

RFDC The RF Data Collector (RFDC) is an application on the Summit WM-Series

Switch that receives and manages the Radio Frequency (RF) scan messages

sent by the Altitude AP. This application is part of the Summit Spy

technique, working in conjunction with the scanner mechanism and the

analysis engine to assist in detecting rogue access points.

WM Access Domain

Services (WM-AD)

The WM Access Domain Services (WM-AD) technique is the Extreme

Networks means of mapping wireless networks to the topology of an

existing wired network. When you set up WM Access Domain Services

(WM-AD) on the Summit WM-Series Switch, you are defining subnets for

groups of wireless users. This WM-AD definition creates a virtual IP

subnet where the Summit WM-Series Switch acts as a default gateway for

wireless devices. This technique enables policies and authentication to be

applied to the groups of wireless users on a WM-AD, as well as the

collecting of accounting information. When a WM-AD is set up on the

Summit WM-Series Switch, one or more Altitude APs (by radio) are

associated with it. A range of IP addresses is set aside for the Summit

WM-Series Switch's DHCP server to assign to wireless devices.
