Point-to-Multipoint Bridging

The access points can be used as a RAP to connect multiple remote MAPs with their associated wired
networks. By default this capability is turned-off for all access points. To support Ethernet bridging,
you must enable bridging on the controller for each access point. Wireless client access can be provided
over the bridging link; however, if bridging between tall buildings, the 2.4-GHz wireless coverage area
may be limited and possibly not suitable for direct wireless client access.
Figure 15 illustrates an example of access point-to-multipoint bridging.
