WIFI Enterprise Generic topology DHCP provides IP scope for APs (management) and SSID (data). The DNS provides the name resolution service for APs (management) and for SSID (data). DHCP The management VLAN carries the signaling frames (mcats or ucast) between the APs of a group. The routing functions (inter VLAN and others) its carried by the aggregation or core switch . DNS The switch ports are configured to accept the SSID TAGs and the Management VLAN as the port's default VLAN. OV2500 + UPAM The management VLAN is NOT tagged by the AP Omnivista APs and global configuration UPAM provides Guest CP and BYOD Each SSID is extended to the LAN via a 802.1q Tag

WIFI Enterprise Ap discovery and registration Service DHCP 1. Boot of a « empty » AP 2. l’AP performs a DHCP request. 3. DHCPD has to respond with a “138” option specifying the IP of the OV2500 4. The AP contacts the OV2500 server and is registered. 7. Configuration of the AP (Proprietary Protocol secured using TLS). NOTE The mode of operation is "hard-coded" at the first boot: If the AP obtains option 138 => OV mode is hard coded If AP does not get option 138 => AP group mode is hard coded Only a factory reset of the AP can change the initial mode

WIFI Enterprise AP DISCOVERY AND REGISTRATION New AP PERMITTED ? LICENCES AVAILABLE ? Yes Yes Group Assignment and Configuration Yes OK ? No No No NOT AUTHORIZED NO LICENCES AP MANAGED BY OV2500 Managed AP Unmanaged AP

WIFI Enterprise OV2500 AP registration GUI The AP can be manually registered. APs created / imported manually are always “trusted”. Automatic registration option for new APs By default, new APs are not automatically registered and require a "Trust" action in the registration tool (UnManaged AP section) The admin can import APs via an excel spreadsheet

WIFI Enterprise AP Group configuration overview AP management via OmniVista always implies configuration push to an AP group. RF Profile Country/Region Dynamic Load Balance Background Scanning Per Band Info NTP The "base" RF parameter points to a specific Radio profil Syslog The AP group shares global system settings RF Profile 2 Some APs in a group may have the same AP Group but different RF parameters
