3e-531AP Wireless Access Point
The Wireless Configuration — Bridging screen is used to enable/
disable Wireless Client Access and Spanning Tree Protocol and to con-
figure the BSSID of the peer bridges. This page is important in setting
up your bridge configuration. We recommend that you disable Wireless
Client Access for all bridge setups except repeater. Spanning Tree Protocol
should be enabled if there is any possibility that a bridging loop could oc-
cur. If you are certain that there is no possibility that a bridging loop will
occur, you should disable Spanning Tree Protocol, because the bridge will
be more efficient (faster) without it. However, if not sure, the safest solu-
tion is to enable Spanning Tree Protocol.
The Wireless Configuration — Bridging Encryption page is used to
configure static encryption keys for the wireless bridge. This is an impor-
tant page to set up to ensure that your bridge is working correctly. The en-
cryption key that you use on this screen must be the same for any bridge
connected to your bridging network in order for communication to occur.
And on this screen, you can only select either a static 192 bit 3DES key or
an AES key of either 128-bit, 192-bit, or 256-bit.
NOTE: You can also select to leave encryption OFF, but this is not
recommended.
