• Wireless Gateway/Router - If operating as a Wireless Gateway/Router, the access point
functions as a router between two layer 2 networks: the WAN uplink (the ethernet port) and the
Wireless side. The following options are available providing a solution for single-cell
deployment:
• PPPoE - The WAN interface can terminate a PPPoE connection, thus enabling the access
point Mobility 7131 Access Point to operate in conjunction with a DSL or Cable modem to
provide WAN connectivity.
• NAT - (Network Address Translation) on the Wireless interface. Using NAT, the Mobility
7131 Access Point router is able to manage a private IP scheme. NAT allows translation of
private addresses to the WAN IP address.
• DHCP - The access point Mobility 7131 Access Point can assign private IP addresses.
• Firewall - A Firewall protects against a number of known attacks.
Management Access Options
Managing the Mobility 7131 Access Point access point includes viewing network statistics and
setting configuration options. Statistics track the network activity of associated MUs and data
transfers on the AP interfaces.
The Mobility 7131 Access Point access point requires one of the following connection methods to
perform a custom installation and manage the network:

MAC Address Assignment
MAC address assignments are as follows:
• LAN (GE1) - The access point MAC address can be found underneath the access point chassis.
• WAN (GE2) - The number of the LAN MAC address + 1.
• LAN2 - A virtual LAN not mapped to the LAN Ethernet port. This address is the lowest of the two
radio MAC addresses.
• Radio1 (802.11b/g/n) - Random address located on the Web UI, CLI and SNMP interfaces.
• Radio2 (802.11a/n) - Random address located on the Web UI, CLI and SNMP interfaces.
