3e-525A Wireless Access Point
Wireless Configuration — Bridging
Wireless Configuration — Bridging Encryption
In the Wireless Configuration — General screen, if you are setting
up the 3e-525A only as a bridge, the SSID can remain in its default set-
ting, since the bridge uses the BSSID for purposes of establishing contact.
The BSSID is shown on the Wireless Configuration — Bridging page
(see page
77.)
It is the MAC Address for the bridge WLAN card. Channel
number is a means of assigning frequencies to access points used in prox-
imity or series to minimize interference or "noise." There are 11 channel
numbers that can be assigned. TX Pwr Mode can be left in its default of
Auto.
The Wireless Configuration — Bridging screen contains wireless
bridging information including the channel number, Tx power, spanning
tree protocol (802.1d) enable/disable, and remote OAP BSSID. This page
is important in setting up your bridge configuration. Spanning Tree Proto-
col should be enabled if there is any possibility that a bridging loop could
occur. 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
solution is to enable Spanning Tree Protocol.
