Bridge Priority

The bridge priority allows selection of the access point

serving as a designated bridge for a secondary LAN. As

with the root priority, the bridge priority allows designation

of access points as primary or fallback bridges. The prompt

is:

Range is:
0..7

" NOTE:

The S-UHF radio option does not support designated bridging.

Designated Bridge Candidates

Access points with a bridge priority between 1

(default) and

7 are candidates to become the designated bridge; access

points with a bridge priority of 0 are prohibited from

bridging. The access point with the highest bridge priority

(other than 0) becomes the designated bridge whenever it is

connected (powered on and active) to the secondary LAN.
If two access points have the same bridge priority, the

access point with the highest Ethernet address becomes the

designated bridge. However, a lower bridge priority access

point may become the designated bridge if the wireless link

to a higher bridge priority access point is unacceptable.
