I currently have a point-to-point wireless connection between 2 buildings using a pair of SXT 5HPnD devices and the WDS protocol.
I now need to reconfigure that connection to support 4 vLANs and am considering replacing my current hardware with the newer SXT G-5HnD hardware that supports Gig-E wired connections to better take advantage of the 802.11n speeds.
Additionally, I need to add in QoS support to prioritize VoIP traffic.
I’ve searched the forums and documentation and realize that my original approach may not necessarily be the best method of accomplishing this task not to mention I’m completely clueless on how to go about getting vLANs on a wireless link.
First (and most important), what is the best way of setting up a Point-to-Point wireless link that supports multiple vLANs?
Being point-to-point from the top of two warehouses about 1/4 mile away, I’m not horribly concerned about security but I do want something in place to be relatively confident that my internal network is not compromised by the wireless link.
Finally, while I have QoS figured out on my RB493 that connects to the internet, I am unsure the most efficient way to implement it on a wireless link. Do I apply it to the outgoing wireless link at both ends or is there a better location? Additionally, can I set up a single QoS rule that covers all the vLANs that traverse the link or do I need to set it up for each vLAN and if I can set it up once to apply to all vLANs, how do I do that?
I know this is a lot all in once post and I think you in advance for any input you can give to point me in the right direction.
