6 If needed, create another WLAN mapped to the 802.11bg radio if 802.11bg support is required for
MUs on that 802.11 band.
Configuring AP#2
AP#2 can be configured the same as AP#1 with the following exceptions:
● Assign an IP Address to the LAN1 Interface different than that of AP#1.
● Assign a higher Mesh STP Priority 50000 to the AP#2 LAN1 Interface.
NOTE
In a typical deployment, each base bridge can be configured for a Mesh STP Priority of 50000. In this
example, different values are used to force AP#1 to be the forwarding link since it's a small mesh network (of only
three APs) with AP within close proximity of one another.
NOTE
Ensure AP#1 and AP#2 use the same channel for each 802.11a radio, or the APs will not be able to
“hear” each other over different channels.
