Multiple Subnets on a Wireless Subsystem (WSS)
To enable one wireless interface to support subscribers for two or more service pro-
viders, the PacketWave 1000 Base Station Unit allows multiple subnets to be assigned
to the same wireless interface. This is done during BSU configuration using the Wave-
Center Configuration Manager.
Figure2-7
shows multiple subnets on a wireless interface. Note that when a sub-
scriber Indoor Unit uses DHCP to request an address, neither the BSU (as DHCP relay
agent) nor the DHCP server can determine from the request which subnet the SU
should be assigned to. Therefore, IP and MAC addresses for all subscriber Indoor
Units on the wireless system must be manually entered into the DHCP server.
