After configuring global mesh parameters, you must configure the following local mesh parameters for 
these specific features if in use in your network:

Ethernet Bridging. See the 

Bridge Group Name. See the

Workgroup Bridge. See the 

Public Safety Band Settings. See the 

.

Cisco 3200 Series Association and Interoperability. See the 

Power and Channel Setting. See the

.

Antenna Gain Settings. See the 

.

Dynamic Channel Assignment. See the 

.

For security reasons, the Ethernet port on all MAPs is disabled by default. It can be enabled only by 
configuring Ethernet bridging on the root and its respective MAP.

Exceptions are allowed for a few protocols even though Ethernet bridging is disabled. For example, 
following are some of the protocols that are allowed:

1. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
2. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
3. Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP)
4. Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) packets

Due to the exceptions and to prevent loop issues, we recommend that you do not connect two MAPs to 
each other over their Ethernet ports, unless they are configured as Trunk ports on different Native 
VLANs, and each is connected to a similarly configured switch.

Ethernet bridging has to be enabled for two scenarios:

When you want to use the Mesh nodes as bridges. (See 

You do not need to configure VLAN tagging to use Ethernet bridging for point-to-point and 
point-to-multipoint bridging deployments.

When you want to connect any Ethernet device such as a video camera on the MAP using its 
Ethernet port. This is the first step to enable VLAN tagging.
