Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration
In a point-to-point bridge configuration, two bridges interconnect two LAN ne tworks using a wireless
communication link (see Figure 1-8). The bridge connected to the main LAN network is classified as a
root bridge and the other bridge is classified as a non-root bridge.

Workgroup Bridge Network
The access point supports a workgroup bridge role to interconnect remote Ethernet workstations to the
main LAN. The workgroup bridge can communicate with an access point (see Figure 1-9) or with a
bridge (see Figure 1-10).
