Network Configuration Examples Chapter 1 Overview Workgroup Bridge Configuration When configured in the workgroup bridge mode, the 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 enables the Ethernet-enabled devices to pass Ethernet traffic to and from the main LAN using the workgroup bridge. Figure 1-6 Workgroup Bridge Configuration 1 135448 Access point Workgroup bridge In Figure 1-7, the unit is configured in workgroup bridge mode and is associated to a Cisco Aironet root bridge as a wireless bridge device. This configuration enables the Ethernet-enabled devices pass Ethernet traffic to and from the main LAN using the workgroup bridge. The main advantage of this configuration is that the wireless communication link can be over a longer distance than an access point supports. Typically, an access point can communicate over an approximate 1-mile range; however, the 2.4 GHz bridge-to-bridge wireless link can communicate over an approximate 21-mile range.
