Cisco Cisco WAP351 Wireless-N Dual Radio Access Point with 5-Port Switch 관리 매뉴얼

WorkGroup Bridge

Cisco WAP131 and WAP351 Administration Guide

107

The devices connected to the wired interface of the WAP device, as well as the 
downstream stations associated with the access point interface of the device, can 
access the network connected by the infrastructure client interface. To allow the 
bridging of packets, the VLAN configuration for the access point interface and the 
wired interface must match that of the infrastructure client interface.

The WorkGroup Bridge mode can be used as range extender to enable the BSS to 
provide access to remote or hard-to-reach networks. A single-radio can be 
configured to forward packets from associated STAs to another WAP device in the 
same ESS, without using WDS.

Before you configure WorkGroup Bridge on the WAP device, note these 
guidelines:

•

All WAP devices participating in WorkGroup Bridge must have the following 
identical settings:

-

Radio

-

IEEE 802.11 Mode

-

Channel Bandwidth

-

Channel (Auto is not recommended)

See 

 (Basic Settings) for information on configuring these settings.

•

WorkGroup Bridge mode currently supports only IPv4 traffic.

•

WorkGroup Bridge mode is not supported across a Single Point Setup.

To configure WorkGroup Bridge mode:

Select Wireless > WorkGroup Bridge.

Check Enable for the WorkGroup Bridge Mode.

In the Radio Setting Per Interface field, select the radio interface to which the 
configuration parameters will be applied.

Configure these parameters for the Infrastructure Client Interface (upstream):

•

SSID—The SSID of the BSS. There is an arrow next to SSID for SSID 
Scanning. This feature is disabled by default, and is enabled only if AP 
Detection is enabled in Rogue AP Detection (which is also disabled by 
default).

•

Security—The type of security to use for authenticating as a client station 
on the upstream WAP device. The options are:
