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 Radio (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.
• It is not recommended to associate another AP to the downstream interface
of the WAP device operating in WorkGroup Bridge mode; that is, the
chaining or cascading of APs is not supported.
To configure WorkGroup Bridge mode:
STEP 1 Select Wireless > WorkGroup Bridge in the navigation pane.
STEP 2 Select Enable for the WorkGroup Bridge Mode.
STEP 3 For WAP561 devices, select the radio interface on which to configure WorkGroup
Bridge mode (Radio 1 or Radio 2).
STEP 4 Configure these parameters for the Infrastructure Client Interface (upstream):
• SSID—The SSID of the BSS.
NOTE 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. Choices are:
- None
- Static WEP
- WPA Personal
