In the example below, when both ZyAIRs are in Bridge/Repeater mode, they form a WDS 
(Wireless Distribution System) allowing the computers in LAN 1 to connect to the computers 
in LAN 2. 
Figure 22   Bridging Example
Be careful to avoid bridge loops when you enable bridging in the ZyAIR. Bridge loops cause 
broadcast traffic to circle the network endlessly, resulting in possible throughput degradation 
and disruption of communications. The following examples show two network topologies that 
can lead to this problem: 
If two or more ZyAIRs (in bridge mode) are connected to the same hub as shown next.
