Mobile Access Router and Mesh Networks Design Guide

Using the MAR with a Cisco 1500 Mesh AP Network
shows the return path to the MAR. Mobile IP eliminates the need for static routing and is covered later
in this document. NAT can be used in simple deployments when Mobile IP is not available.
in this document. NAT can be used in simple deployments when Mobile IP is not available.
The data path example shown in
, and previously described, represents the traffic in a pure
Layer 2 Mesh when the MAR is using only the WMIC for backhaul. If the deployment calls for more
complexity (such as secondary cellular backhaul links) then Mobile IP is required.

When the WMIC is used as a Universal Bridge Client, it sets up its wireless connections the same way
any wireless client does.
