Configuring Ethernet Bridging
For security reasons, the Ethernet port on all MAPs is disabled by default. It can be enabled only by
configuring Ethernet bridging on the root and its respective MAP.

Note
Exceptions are allowed for a few protocols even though Ethernet bridging is disabled. For example,
following are some of the protocols that are allowed:
following are some of the protocols that are allowed:
1. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
2. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
3. Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP)
4. Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) packets

Due to the exceptions and to prevent loop issues, we recommend that you do not connect two MAPs to
each other over their Ethernet ports, unless they are configured as Trunk ports on different Native
VLANs, and each is connected to a similarly configured switch.

Ethernet bridging has to be enabled for two scenarios:

When you want to use the Mesh nodes as bridges. (See

You do not need to configure VLAN tagging to use Ethernet bridging for point-to-point and
point-to-multipoint bridging deployments.

When you want to connect any Ethernet device such as a video camera on the MAP using its
Ethernet port. This is the first step to enable VLAN tagging.
