create

Use the create command to create a topology object. The create command is accessible from the topology context of the CLI.

Parameters

Usage

The following are available topology types:

• Admin — The native, pre-defined topology of the Wireless Appliance management port. This topology is named Admin. You cannot create topologies with the name Admin.
• B@AC — Bridge Traffic Locally at controller. Requires Layer 2 configuration. May optionally have Layer 3 configuration. Layer 3 configuration would be necessary if services (such as DHCP) are required over the configured network segment, or if controller management operations are intended to be done through the configured interface.
• B@AP — Bridge Traffic Locally at AP. Requires Layer 2 configuration. Does not require Layer 3 configuration. Bridge Traffic at the AP topologies do not require the definition of a corresponding IP address since all traffic for users in that topology will be directly bridged by the Wireless AP at the local network point of attachment (VLAN at AP port).
  

  Note

  IPv6 is supported for Layer 2 bridging for both B@AC and B@AP topologies.
• Routed — Routed topology. Routed topologies do not need any Layer 2 configuration, but do require Layer 3 configuration.
• Physical —Physical Ethernet port topology. Physical topologies are not pre-defined; they must be created.

You can choose from four of the topology types (modes) when creating a topology:

• B@AC
• B@AP
• Routed
• Physical

Only B@AC, B@AP, and Routed topologies can be assigned to policies.
