 — 

WLAN mesh services can be used in a wireless bridge 

configuration, 

implementing MAPs as bridge endpoints in a transparent 

Layer 2 bridge. A typical application of wireless bridging is to provide 
network connectivity between two buildings using a wireless link.

A Mesh Portal AP serving as a bridge endpoint can support up to five 
Mesh APs serving as bridge endpoints. A Mesh AP serving as a bridge 
endpoint picks up packets from its wired port and transfers them to the 
other bridge endpoint. A simple source/destination learning mechanism is 
used in order to avoid forwarding packets across the bridge unnecessarily.

When wireless bridging is enabled for a service profile, the MAPs with the 
applied service profile serve as bridge peers. When a Mesh AP associates 
with a Mesh Portal AP through this service profile, the Mesh Portal AP 
automatically configures the Mesh AP to operate in bridge mode.

 — 

The following command enables wireless bridging on 

service profile 

sp1:

WX# set service-profile sp1 bridging enable

success: change accepted.

„

„

Configures the Call Admission Control (CAC) mode. 

Syntax — 

set service-profile name cac-mode {none | session}

„

 — Service profile name.

„

 — CAC is not used.

„

 — CAC is based on the number of active sessions. 

Defaults — The default CAC mode is none.

Access — Enabled.
