Local bridge on Controller AP

[Knutsen2004]

Hi

I have a Cisco controller WLAN solution where I want to bridge traffic locally on a remote site, when using Cisco 1140 LWAPP.

Is the only way H-REAP ?

Thank´s for help !

Ok thank´s

I am reading about Local-MAC and Split-MAC and i am a little confused if this is regarding H-REAP or just ways to configure the CAPWAP tunnel ?

Welcome!

HREAP allows you two mode of operation.

LOCAL SWITCH or CENTRAL SWITCH ...

LOCAL SWITCH mode take the traffic genterated at the loacl site and drops it right in the remote sites switch the ap attaches to. This is ideal should the site lose connection. In addtion, DHCP is handle locally. One problem with this design is 802.1X. If you lose connect to the CORP where your radius is at then you can auth users.

CENTRAL SWITCH mode take all the traffic back to corp switch where the traffic is routed.

Make sense?
