# Wireless
|
||||
|
||||
TODO
|
||||
Just as NetBox provides robust modeling for physical cable plants, it also supports modeling wireless LANs and point-to-point links.
|
||||
|
||||
## Wireless LANs

|

A wireless LAN is a multi-access network shared by multiple wireless clients, identified by a common service set identifier (SSID) and authentication parameters. Wireless LANs can be organized into self-nesting groups, and each wireless LAN may optionally be bound to a particular VLAN. This allows easily mapping wireless networks to their wired counterparts.
|
||||
|
||||
Authentication attributes for wireless LANs include:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Type** - Open, WEP, WPA, etc.
|
||||
* **Cipher** - Auto, TKIP, or AES
|
||||
* **Pre-shared key (PSK)** - The secret key configured on all participating clients
|
||||
|
||||
The definition of authentication parameters is optional.
|
||||
|
||||
## Wireless Links
|
||||
|
||||
Whereas a wireless LAN represents a physical multi-access segment with any number of clients, a wireless link is a point-to-point connection between exactly two stations. These links behave much like cables, but more accurately model the nature of wireless communications.
|
||||
|
||||
Like wireless LANs, wireless links also have an SSID and (optional) authentication attributes.
