Network Examples with Autonomous Access Points Chapter 1 Overview Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration In a point-to-point bridge configuration, two bridges interconnect two LAN networks using a wireless communication link (see Figure 1-10). The bridge connected to the main LAN network is classified as a root bridge and the other bridge is classified as a non-root bridge. Figure 1-10 Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration 117029 Root bridge Non-root bridge Workgroup Bridge Network The access point supports a workgroup bridge role to interconnect remote Ethernet workstations to the main LAN. The workgroup bridge can communicate with an access point (see Figure 1-11) or with a bridge (see Figure 1-12).
