Step 3
The two super root candidates are configured to originate
tunnels.
Option A: Unicast Addressing
In this example, unicast IP addresses are entered in the
table for each designated bridge. The two designated
bridges on each subnet will negotiate which access point
serves as the designated bridge for that subnet.
Use of two designated bridge candidates on each subnet
restricts the number of subnets that can be supported to
four. To increase the size of the wireless network, it is
necessary to eliminate redundant designated bridges or use
broadcast addressing.
Type Address
1 <Unicast> 172.16.24.2
2 <Unicast> 172.16.24.3
3 <Unicast> 172.16.32.2
4 <Unicast> 172.16.32.3
5 <Unicast> 172.16.40.2
6 <Unicast> 172.16.40.3
7 <Unicast> 172.16.48.2
8 <Unicast> 172.16.48.3
Option B: Directed Broadcast
In this example, a directed broadcast address is used for
each subnet. The broadcast to address 172.16.23.255 is
received by all access points on subnet 172.16.16.0. The
access point with the highest bridge priority provides the
remote termination of the OWL/IP tunnel for each subnet.
A broadcast MAC address is used. This option supports
primary and fallback access points on up to eight subnets.
