Purpose
Set the radio role to workgroup bridge. If your access point
contains two radios, the radio not set to workgroup bridge mode
is automatically disabled.
Create the SSID that the workgroup bridge uses to associate to a
parent access point or bridge.
Designate the SSID as an infrastructure SSID.
Note The workgroup bridge must use an infrastructure SSID to
associate to a root access point or bridge.
(Optional) If the parent access point is configured to require
LEAP authentication, configure the username and password that
the workgroup bridge uses when it performs LEAP
authentication. This username and password must match the
username and password that you set up for the workgroup bridge
on the authentication server.
Exit SSID configuration mode and return to radio interface
configuration mode.
(Optional) Enter the MAC address for the access point to which
the workgroup bridge should associate.
You can enter MAC addresses for up to four parent access
•
points. The workgroup bridge attempts to associate to MAC
address 1 first; if that access point does not respond, the
workgroup bridge tries the next access point in its parent list.
Note If multiple BSSIDs are configured on the parent access
point, the MAC address for the parent might change if a
BSSID on the parent is added or deleted.
(Optional) You can also enter a timeout value in seconds that
•
determines how long the workgroup bridge attempts to
associate to a parent access point before trying the next
parent in the list. Enter a timeout value from 0 to 65535
seconds.
Exit radio configuration mode and return to global configuration
mode.
(Optional) Specify the VLAN to which the devices that are
connected to the workgroup bridge's Ethernet port are assigned.
(Optional) Configure the workgroup bridge as a mobile station.
When you enable this setting, the workgroup bridge scans for a
new parent association when it encounters a poor Received
Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), excessive radio interference, or
a high frame-loss percentage. When this setting is disabled (the
default setting) the workgroup bridge does not search for a new
association until it loses its current association.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
