Point-to-Multipoint Bridge Configuration

A point-to-multipoint configuration allows you to set up three or

more 3e–527A3 access points in bridging mode and accomplish bridging

between 3 or more locations wirelessly.

For the three bridges that are to be linked to communicate properly,

they have to be set up with compatible commands in their setup screens.

For instance, all bridges must have the same channel number. Span-

ning Tree Protocol will usually be set to Enable. If configured as in the

diagram following, Bridge 1 must contain all of the others' BSSIDs, while

Bridge 2 ~ n must only contain Bridge 1's BSSID. (The BSSID of each is

equivalent to the MAC address found on the Wireless Bridge — Radio

page. Enter only hexadecimal numbers. Data entry is not case sensitive.)

Finally, the wireless bridging encryption of each must be set to the appro-

priate type and key length and must be the same on all.

Because the 3e–527A3 has two separate WLAN cards, one for the AP

and one for the Bridge, each bridge can have a WLAN on the 802.11a pro-

tocol with no loss of efficiency in bridging if you wish.

The following diagram pictures a point-to-multipoint setup, which

might be of use where a company's network spans several buildings

within a campus-like setting.
