Network Examples with Autonomous Access Points
This section describes the autonomous access point’s role in three common wireless network
configurations. The autonomous access point’s default configuration is as a root unit connected to a
wired LAN or as the central unit in an all-wireless network.
The autonomous 1200 series access point supports these operating wireless modes:
• Root access point—Connected to a wired LAN and supports wireless clients.
• Repeater access point—Not connected to a wired LAN, associates to a root access point, and
supports wireless clients
• Workgroup bridge—Not connected to a wired LAN, associates to a root access point or bridge, and
supports wired network devices.
• Root bridge—Connected to a wired LAN and supports non-root bridges and wireless clients.
• Non-root bridge—Not connected to a wired LAN, associates to a root bridge, supports wireless
clients, and supports wired clients.
