Workgroup Bridge Interoperability with Mesh Infrastructure
A workgroup bridge (WGB) is a small stand-alone unit that can provide a wireless infrastructure
connection for Ethernet-enabled devices. Devices that do not have a wireless client adapter to connect
to the wireless network can be connected to the WGB through the Ethernet port. The WGB is associated
with the root AP through the wireless interface. Thus, wired clients get access to the wireless network.
connection for Ethernet-enabled devices. Devices that do not have a wireless client adapter to connect
to the wireless network can be connected to the WGB through the Ethernet port. The WGB is associated
with the root AP through the wireless interface. Thus, wired clients get access to the wireless network.
A WGB is used to connect wired networks over a single wireless segment. This is accomplished by
informing the mesh access point of all the clients that the WGB has on its wired segment via IAPP
messages. The data packets for WGB clients contain an additional MAC address in the 802.11 header (4
MAC header, versus the normal 3 MAC data headers). The additional MAC in the header is the address
of the WGB itself. This additional MAC address is used to route the packet to and from the clients.

WGB association is supported on all radios of every mesh access point (see
