Configuring AP#2

AP#2 can be configured the same as AP#1 with the following exceptions:

Assign an IP Address to the LAN1 Interface different than that of AP#1

Assign a higher Mesh STP Priority 50000 to the AP#2 LAN1 Interface.

NOTE

In a typical deployment, each base bridge can be configured for a Mesh STP Priority of 50000. In
this example, different values are used to force AP#1 to be the forwarding link since it's a small mesh
network (of only three APs) with AP within close proximity of one another.

NOTE

Ensure AP#1 and AP#2 use the same channel for each 802.11a/n radio, or the APs will not be able
to “hear” each other over different channels.

Configuring AP#3

To define the configuration for AP#3 (a client bridge connecting to both AP#1 and AP#2
simultaneously):

1. Provide a known IP address for the LAN1 interface.

2. Assign the maximum value (65535) for the Mesh STP Priority.
