Network Examples with Autonomous Access Points Chapter 1 Overview Central Unit in an All-Wireless Network In an all-wireless network, an autonomous access point acts as a stand-alone root unit. The autonomous access point is not attached to a wired LAN; it functions as a hub linking all stations together. The access point serves as the focal point for communications, increasing the communication range of wireless users. Figure 1-5 shows an autonomous access point in an all-wireless network. Figure 1-5 Access Point as Central Unit in All-Wireless Network Access point 135443 Workgroup Bridge Configuration When configured in the workgroup bridge mode, the autonomous unit provides a wireless connection for remote wired devices to a Cisco Aironet access point or to a Cisco Aironet bridge. In Figure 1-6, the unit is configured in workgroup bridge mode and is associated to a Cisco Aironet access point as a wireless client device. This configuration allows the Ethernet-enabled devices to pass Ethernet traffic to and from the main LAN using the workgroup bridge.
