Supported Workgroup Bridge Modes and Capacities
The 1130, 1240, and 1310 autonomous mesh access points must be running Cisco IOS release
•
12.4(3g)JA or later (on 32-MB access points) or Cisco IOS release 12.3(8)JEB or later (on 16-MB
access points). Cisco IOS releases prior to 12.4(3g)JA and 12.3(8)JEB are not supported.
Note
Client mode WGB (BSS) is supported; however, infrastructure WGB is not supported. The client
•
mode WGB is not able to trunk VLANs as is an infrastructure WGB.
• Multicast traffic is not reliably transmitted to WGB because no ACKs are returned by the client.
Whereas, multicast traffic is unicast to infrastructure WGBs and ACKs are received back.
• If one radio is configured as WGB in an IOS access point, then the second radio cannot be a WGB
or a Repeater.
Mesh access points can support up to 200 clients including wireless clients, WGBs, and wired
•
clients behind the associated WGBs.
WGBs operating with Cisco IOS release 12.4(3g)JA cannot associate with mesh access points if the
•
WLAN is configured with WPA1 (TKIP) +WPA2 (AES), and the corresponding WGB interface is
configured with only one of these encryptions (either WPA1 or WPA2).

If your mesh access point has two radios, you can only configure workgroup bridge mode
on one of the radios. Cisco recommends that you disable the second radio. Workgroup bridge
mode is not supported on access points with three radios such as the AP1524.
