9.3.2 Scenario 2 - Two Hop Mesh Network with a Base Bridge
Repeater and a Client Bridge
A conceptual illustration of scenario two is as follows:
By default, the mesh algorithm runs an automatic link selection algorithm to determine the best
possible active and redundant links. If member APs are not far apart (in physical distance), the
algorithm intelligently chooses a single hop link to forward data. To force APs to use multiple hops
for demonstrations, use manual links.
In scenario 2, the following three AP configurations comprise the mesh network:
• AP#1 is a base bridge
• AP#2 is a repeater (client bridge/base bridge combination)
• AP#3 is a client b ridge
