AP Commands 321
Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Command Line Reference
Usage WLAN mesh services can be used in a wireless bridge configuration, implementing APs as bridge
endpoints in a transparent Layer 2 bridge. A typical application of wireless bridging is to provide network
connectivity between two buildings using a wireless link.
A Mesh Portal AP serving as a bridge endpoint can support up to five Mesh APs serving as bridge endpoints.
A Mesh AP serving as a bridge endpoint picks up packets from its wired port and transfers them to the other
bridge endpoint. A simple source/destination learning mechanism is used in order to avoid forwarding packets
across the bridge unnecessarily.
When wireless bridging is enabled for a service profile, the APs with the applied service profile serve as bridge
peers. When a Mesh AP associates with a Mesh Portal AP through this service profile, the Mesh Portal AP
automatically configures the Mesh AP to operate in bridge mode.
Examples The following command enables wireless bridging on service profile sp1:
WSS# set service-profile sp1 bridging enable
success: change accepted.
