Summit WM-Series Switch Software and your network
Components of the solution: a summary
The following is a summary checklist of the components of the Summit WM-Series Switch Software
solution on your enterprise network. These are described in detail in this guide.
The Summit WM-Series Switch, providing 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.
The Altitude AP is a wireless LAN thin access point (IEEE 802.11) that communicates only with a
Summit WM-Series Switch.
RADIUS Server (Remote Access Dial-In User Service) (RFC2865), or other authentication server.
Assigns and manages ID and Password protection throughout the network. Used for authentication
of the wireless users in either 802.1x or Captive Port security modes.
The RADIUS Server system can be set up for certain standard attributes, such as Filter-ID, and for
the Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs).
DHCP Server (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) (RFC2131). Assigns IP addresses, gateways
and subnet masks dynamically. IP address assignment for clients can be done by the DCHP server
internal to the Summit WM-Series Switch, or by existing servers using DHCP relay. Also used by the
Altitude APs to discover the location of the Summit WM-Series Switch during the initial registration
process. For SLP, DHCP should have Option 78 enabled (Option 78 specifies the location of one or
more SLP Directory Agents).
Service Location Protocol (SLP) (SLP RFC2608). Client applications are User Agents and services are
advertised by Service Agents. In larger installations, a Directory Agent collects information from
Service Agents and creates a central repository. The Extreme Networks solution relies on registering
“extreme” as an SLP Service Agent.
Domain Name Server (DNS), for an alternate mechanism (if present on the enterprise network) for
the automatic discovery process. Summit WM-Series Switch Software relies on the DNS for Layer 3
deployments and for static configuration of Altitude APs. The Extreme Networks solution relies on
registering “controller” as the DNS name.
Web Authentication Server, if desired for external authentication.
RADIUS Accounting Server (Remote Access Dial-In User Service) (RFC2866), if RADIUS
Accounting is enabled.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Manager Server, if forwarding SNMP messages is
enabled.
Check Point Server, Check Point Event Logging API (ELA), for security event logging if a firewall
application is enabled.
Network infrastructure, Ethernet switches and routers, must be configured to allow routing between
the various services noted above.
Routing must also be enabled between multiple Summit WM-Series Switches, for such Summit WM-
Series Switch Software features as Availability, WM-AD Manager for mobility, Third-Party Access
Points, and Summit Spy for detection of rogue access points (some features require the definition of
static routes).
Web Browser, providing access to the Summit WM-Series Switch Management GUI to configure
Summit WM-Series Switch Software.
