Network traffic flow
Figure 3: Traffic Flow diagram
The diagram above shows a simple configuration with a single Summit WM-Series Switch and two
Altitude APs, each supporting a wireless device. A RADIUS server on the network provides
authentication, and a DHCP server is used by the Altitude APs to discover the location of the Summit
WM-Series Switch during the initial registration process. Also present in the network are routers and
ethernet switches.
Each wireless device sends IP packets in the 802.11 standard to the Altitude AP. The Altitude AP uses a
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) based tunnelling protocol to encapsulate the packets and forward them
to the Summit WM-Series Switch.
The Summit WM-Series Switch decapsulates the packets, and routes these to destinations on the
network, after authentication by the RADIUS server.
The Summit WM-Series Switch functions like a standard router, except that it is configured to route
only network traffic associated with wireless connected users. The Summit WM-Series Switch can also
be configured to simply forward traffic to a default or static route if dynamic routing is not preferred.
