Bridges
The 1200 and 1240 access points and the 1300 access point/bridge can be configured as root or non-root
bridges. In this role, an access point establishes a wireless link with a non-root bridge. Traffic is passed
over the link to the wired LAN. Access points in root and non-root bridge roles can be configured to
accept associations from clients. Figure1-3 shows an access point configured as a root bridge with
clients. Figure 1-4 shows two access points configured as a root and non-root bridge, both accepting
client associations. Consult the “Configuring the Role in Radio Network” section on page6-2 for
instructions on setting up an access point as a bridge.
