configured as the "root bridge" in the wireless network. The root bridge is
the unit connected to the main core of the wired LAN. Other bridges need
to specify one "Parent" link to the root bridge or to a bridge connected to the
root bridge. The other seven WDS links are available as "Child" links to
other bridges.
• The bridge link on the radio interface always uses the default VAP interface.
In any bridge mode, VAP interfaces 1 to 7 are not available for use.
