Using APs to
Create a Point-
to Point Bridge
You can use access points to create a wireless or point-to-point bridge
between two LANs. You can have a access point wired to a network in
one building and have a second access point wired to a network in
another building. Wired clients in both buildings can then communicate
with each other over the wireless bridge created by the access points.
This configuration is useful in a campus environment where pavement
or other objects prevent installation of a wired link. For information
about configuring access points for point-to-point bridging, see
Configuring Wireless Hops. Figure 6 illustrates a network with a point-to-
point bridge.
