Chapter

1Introduction

As a standalone access point, a Brocade Mobility 7131 Series Access Point

provides small and medium-sized businesses with a consolidated wired and

wireless networking infrastructure, all in a single device. The integrated router,

gateway, firewall, DHCP and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) simplify and reduce the

costs associated with networking by eliminating the need to purchase and manage

multiple devices.

The access point is also designed to meet the needs of large, distributed

enterprises by converging the functionality of a thick access point and thin access

port into a single device. This mode enables the deployment of a fully featured

intelligent access point that can be centrally configured and managed via a

Brocade wireless controller in either corporate headquarters or a network

operations center (NOC). In the event the connection between the access point and

the wireless controller is lost, a Remote Site Survivability (RSS) feature ensures the

delivery of uninterrupted wireless services at the local or remote site. All traffic

between the adaptive access points and the wireless controller is secured though

an IPSec tunnel. Additionally, compatibility with Brocade’s RF Management Suite

(RFMS) allows you to centrally plan, deploy, monitor and secure large deployments.

Brocade is introducing a Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point as a compliment to the

existing Mobility 7131 Series Access Point family. The new Mobility 7131N-FGR

Access Point supports the same feature set as existing Mobility 7131 and Mobility

7131N Access Points. Unlike the Mobility 7131 and Mobility 7131N Access Points,

a Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point has specialized data protection mechanisms

and prompts the user when secure information is displayed within the access point

GUI applet.

The Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point enables you to configure one radio

for 802.11a/n support, and the other for 802.11b/g/n support.
