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.

Mesh Network
The access point is typically deployed in a mesh network configuration. In a typical mesh deployment,
one or more RAPs have a wired network connection through a switch to a controller. Other remote
MAPs without wired network connections use the backhaul feature to optimally link to a RAP that is
connected to the wired network. In the mesh network, the links between the access points are referred
to as the backhaul links.
