Network Configuration Examples
This section describes the access point/bridge’s role in five common wireless network configurations.
Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration
In a point-to-point bridge configuration, two bridges connect two remote LAN networks using a wireless
communication link (see Figure 1-4). The bridge connected to the main LAN network is classified as a
root bridge and the other bridge is classified as a non-root bridge.
Figure 1-4 Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration
Port Aggregation or Redundancy Bridge Configuration
The port aggregation or redundancy bridge configuration (Figure 1-5) is used to provide increased
bandwidth or backup redundancy communications between two LANs. Port aggregation or increased
bandwidth occurs when both wireless links are used to simultaneously pass Ethernet traffic. Backup
communication redundancy can be achieved with this configuration when one wireless bridge link is
used only if the other wireless bridge link fails.
