A Remote LAN (RLAN) is used for authenticating wired clients using the controller. Once the wired client successfully joins the controller, the LAN ports switch the traffic between central or local switching modes. The traffic from wired client is treated as wireless client traffic.

The RLAN in an AP sends the authentication request to authenticate the wired client. The authentication of wired client in RLAN is similar to the central authenticated wireless client.

Note	RLAN is supported in APs that have more than one Ethernet port.
