OWL/IP
E-2 6710 Access Point User’s Guide
OWL/IP is activated by enabling the OWL/IP port in the
access point. The port is an entryway to an IP tunnel
originated by the super root on the home subnet, and
terminated by a designated bridge operating on a remote
subnet. Frames are encapsulated using the GRE protocol
running over IP.
The super root can originate IP tunnels to eight or fewer IP
addresses. The number of tunnels supported may be more
than or fewer than eight, depending on the type of
addressing used and redundancy needs within the
installation.
The OWL/IP port differs from the physical NIC1, NIC2 and
Ethernet ports within the access point. It is a logical port
that provides IP encapsulation services for frames that
must be routed to reach their destination. Once
encapsulated, frames are transmitted or received through
one of the three physical ports.
OWL/IP Restrictions
Addressing Limitations
Wireless stations using IP must be assigned IP addresses
on the home subnet. Servers may be located on any subnet.
However, it is preferable to choose the subnet that contains
servers for wireless stations as the home subnet if possible.
Installation Limitations
OWL/IP tunnels should not be used:
