Network Template Examples

The examples include use of VLANs to separate/isolate user communities (teachers and students). VLANs requires VLAN/network routing capable routers/security appliances. VLANs is typically the least complex and most reliable way to provide granular per user community access policies. • Section A

– Access Points

• Section B – Switches (VLANs)

• Section C – Security Appliance (VLANs and network routing)

• Section D – Network-wide
