Dear All,

I have doubt regarding the WLAN AP supporting NATTing and Normal AP.
what will be difference between the frames sent by the two on wired side.

This Diagram may help you in understading my question:

Client---> NAT AP -----WIRED FRAME (CAPTURE IT)----

Client---->AP without NAT-----WIRED FRAME (CAPTURE IT--

What will be the difference between the two?

OR
In simple way If you have a 802.11 device and you dont know wether is supports NATting or not (assuming that you cant find it by vewing physically or accessing it in any way).
Only thing is that you can do is capture frames on wired or wireless side, then how will we find its an normal AP or Natting device.

Your reply will help me in understanding this concept.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
