WEC8500/8050 Operation Manual Version 5.2Samsung Electronics America page 201 of 5335.2 Local SwitchingThe APC provides the local switching function to support a service to an individualnetwork such as a branch office. The local switching function enables an AP to beconnected to WAN for external connection in an individual network where the APC is notinstalled. The control packet of an AP and a wireless terminal is processed in thecentralized APC and a general data packet is processed in an individual network.Therefore, if the tunnel mode of the WLAN is changed to local switching, part of the datapacket forwarding process performed by the APC is performed by the AP.The following AP functions must be configured in the WLAN which is configured for localswitching:1) WLAN-VLAN Mapping The wireless device traffic connected to the configured local switching WLAN isforwarded by the AP with the configured VLAN tag.2) ACL Packet filtering ACL is performed for the wireless device traffic connected to theconfigured local switching WLAN.3) Preauthetication ACL of Captive Portal Web preauthentication packet forwarding ACL is processed for the wireless devicetraffic connected to the local switching WLAN configured for captive portal.The functions above are activated only for the APs added to the remote AP group.Configuration using CLIThe procedure of local switching configuration is as follows:1) By referring to the ‘Configuring Remote AP Group’, add an AP to a remote AP group.2) Enter into the configure wlan configuration mode of CLI, and configure ‘tunnel-mode’ to ‘local-bridging’.WEC8500# configure terminalWEC8500/configure# wlan 1WEC8500/configure/wlan 1# tunnel-mode local-bridging tunnel-mode local-bridging3) Enter into the configure AP configuration mode of CLI, and configure a local VlanID per WLAN.WEC8500# configure terminalWEC8500/configure# ap ap_1
