Chapter1 Overview

Network Deployment Examples

Wireless client access is supported; however, if bridging between tall buildings, the 2.4-GHz wireless

coverage area may be limited and possibly not suitable for direct wireless client access.

Point-to-Multipoint Bridging

The access points can be used as a RAP to connect multiple remote MAPs with their associated wired

networks. By default this capability is turned-off for all access points. To support Ethernet bridging, you

must enable bridging on the controller for each access point. Wireless client access can be provided over

the bridging link; however, if bridging between tall buildings, the 2.4-GHz wireless coverage area may

be limited and possibly not suitable for direct wireless client access. Figure1-24 illustrates an example

of access point-to-multipoint bridging.
