NOTE:
If you are
deploying multi-
ple Fortress Bridges in a
point-to-point/multi-
point network they
must be correctly con-
figured for their net-
work roles, typically
with one serving as the
root node and the rest
configured as non-root
nodes (refer to Section
3.3.1.4 for more detail).
Configure radio settings interactively by entering the
set
command with just the
radio 1
or
radio 2
argument. The
Bridge CLI presents one field at a time, and you can either
enter a new value for a given field or strike
Enter
↵
to leave the
value unchanged and go on to the next field.
The options presented depend, in part, on the configuration
choices you make. A radio with a
Radio Mode
setting of
ap
, for
instance, will not provide you an opportunity to set the
Bridge
Mode
, unless you change the
Radio Mode
to
bridge
, at which
point the
Bridge Mode
option will be inserted dynamically, as
shown below.
