The ExtremeWireless Thread Network solution makes use of a single infrastructure to combine a wireless network with an IoT sensor network, while integrating with an enterprise backbone network.
Each AP391x, with integrated BLE/802.15.4 radios, creates a separate Thread Network identified with a separate PAN ID. Sensors scan, find the AP Thread Network, and build a Mesh network with that AP serving as the border gateway router. The AP routes network traffic between its own Thread Network interface and the IoT interface.
Note
The VLAN must have a Router with DHCPv6-PD — Thread Network supports IPv6 addressing only. If the DHCPv6 server provides global address, all sensors in the network receive the global address, and therefore, can be managed from the Cloud IPv6 network.Note
If the whitelist is not configured, all sensors with password THREAD are accepted into the network.
