and Adapters  |  | RoamAbout® RBT-8100/8200 Medium Capacity Wireless Switch for the Wiring Closet A component of the RoamAbout Switch System, the RoamAbout RBT-8100 supports up to 24 managed access points simultaneously and has an integrated 10/100 Ethernet port and one Gigabit Ethernet port for connectivity to the network and to the access points. The RoamAbout RBT-8200 supports 24 to 72 managed access points simultaneously and has two integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting to the network and to the access points. The RBT-8100/8200 performs Layer 2 forwarding and comes with extensive Layer 3-4 filtering and identity-tracking capabilities. It integrates seamlessly with wired infrastructures and offers redundant load-sharing links,802.1Q trunking, spanning tree and per-VLAN spanning tree (PVST+). It also supports IGMP snooping, which is vital to support IP multicast streams. Quality of Service is done with Layer 3-4 application information on a per-user or per-group basis and can use IP DiffServ code points. The RoamAbout RBT-8100 switch is the platform for executing RoamAbout Mobility System Software and maintains the intelligence of the RoamAbout wireless network. In addition to managing users’ identities as they roam, the RoamAbout switch configures and controls all aspects of RoamAbout access points. Multiple RoamAbout switches function as a peer-to-peer system to support mobility and enforce security. For example, one RoamAbout switch can support a mobile user’s connection to a subnet even though the actual attachment to that subnet is through a different RoamAbout switch. This switch-to-switch exchange requires no changes to existing IP backbones. RoamAbout switches deliver identity-based networking, which provides user- based services such as virtual private group membership, personal firewall filters, time-of-day/day-of-week access, encryption type, authentication, usage tracking, location tracking, and associated network statistics. Authorizations stay with users wherever they roam because RoamAbout switches share the information, ensuring secure access and connectivity to the right services. A third RoamAbout Wireless Switch RBT-8400 supports up to 120 access points. All provide identity-based networking, system-wide roaming functions, multiple private groups, and AAA offload and integration. In addition, both are designed to work in the data center, but with different densities of access point deployment in mind. | Features & Benefits Maintains user’s membership in virtual private group based on authenticated identity - Dynamically enables support for roaming users
