Configuring	You can use WLAN mesh services in a wireless bridge configuration,
Wireless Bridging	implementing MAPs as bridge endpoints in a transparent Layer 2 bridge.
	Configuring a wireless bridge to connect two sites provides an alternative
	to installing Ethernet cable to provide bridge functionality.
	A typical application of wireless bridging is to provide network
	connectivity between two buildings using a wireless link, as shown in the
	following illustration.
	Figure 19 Wireless Bridging

The wireless bridge is established between a Mesh Portal AP and an associated Mesh AP. The bridged data packets are those present on the Ethernet interfaces of the two MAPs.

A Mesh Portal AP serving as a bridge endpoint can support up to five Mesh APs serving as bridge endpoints. A Mesh AP serving as a bridge endpoint picks up packets from its wired port and transfers them to the other bridge endpoint. A simple source/destination learning mechanism is used in order to avoid forwarding packets across the bridge unnecessarily.

To enable wireless bridging for a service profile, use the following command:
