NOTES:

Local switching is only available in RAS firmware version 6.0 and higher.

Restricting Layer 2 forwarding for a VLAN is not supported if the VLAN is configured for local switching.

The DHCP restrict feature is not supported for locally switched clients.

Web Portal is not supported for locally switched clients.

IGMP snooping is not supported with local switching.

Locally Switched AP‘s can support a total of 25 ACL rules, including both inbound and outbound ACLs.

For Wireless bridging, here are some best practice guidelines:

oWhen connecting a Mesh Portal to the network, use only ethernet port 1 on the AP.

oBecause all AP CPU cycles are devoted to bridging, make other arrangements for service coverage in the bridge area as the endpoints cannot provide other wireless services.

oA single radio must be devoted to maintaining the bridge.
