Using the Access Control List (ACL) In Network Design
As mentioned above, the shortest route to the Root Bridge may not be the
best radio path. As seen in Figure 2 the radio path from Pump Site D to the
Water Plant – Site A has a marginal link. Although the shortest route from
Pump Site D to the Water Plant is direct, the best radio path is using the
repeater site at Tank Site B. To force the radio path through the repeater is
as simple as setting the ACL in the Pump Site D Model 195Eg to Deny the
Mac address of the Water Plant. This will force all communications from
Pump Site D to the Water Plant via Tank Site B.
