In networking, a bridge is a device or software that connects two or more network segments, allowing devices on those segments to communicate as if they were on the same network.
"A switch is a bridge with many ports"
Take the Ethernet Network and extend it into the air.
May tunnel traffic to a controller
Power-over-Ethernet
Multi-gigabit throughput
Ceiling / wall / in-wall / desktop
WAP Capabilities
Mesh
MIMO
Autonomous / Controlled
Keeping all the synchronization synchronize and the code up to date.
Multiple SSID
Basically the name of the Wireless Network
The first approach to increase wireless security.
Might be associate with:
VLAN
ACL (Access Control List)
Auth
You can have multiple SSIDs running at the same time in the same hardware.
Trunking and tunneling
Why would we make it a trunk, because the guest is VLAN 5, and the corporate is VLAN 10.
Wireless LAN Controller
Centralized Controller
On / Off premise
Switch
WLC
Cloud
OS Updates
All equipment needs updates
Configuration changes
Happen one place, on our centrilized controller
When we update that controller, it will make sure everyone is running the same version.
