Network Configuration Examples

This section describes the access point/bridge's role in five common wireless network configurations.

Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration

In a point-to-point bridge configuration, two bridges connect two remote LAN networks using a wireless
communication link (see
root bridge and the other bridge is classified as a non-root bridge.

Port Aggregation or Redundancy Bridge Configuration

The port aggregation or redundancy bridge configuration
bandwidth or backup redundancy communications between two LANs. Port aggregation or increased
bandwidth occurs when both wireless links are used to simultaneously pass Ethernet traffic. Backup
communication redundancy can be achieved with this configuration when one wireless bridge link is
used only if the other wireless bridge link fails.
