Configuring Repeater and Standby Access Points and Workgroup Bridge Mode

Chapter 20

6. (Optional) If the parent access point is configured to require LEAP

authentication, configure the username and password that the workgroup
bridge uses when it performs LEAP authentication.

This username and password must match the username and password that
you set up for the workgroup bridge on the authentication server.

7. Exit SSID configuration mode and return to radio interface configuration

mode.

8. (Optional) Enter the MAC address for the access point that needs to be

associated to the workgroup bridge.
(Optional) You can enter MAC addresses for up to four parent access

points. The workgroup bridge attempts to associate to MAC address 1
first; if that access point does not respond, the workgroup bridge tries
the next access point in its parent list. If multiple BSSIDs are
configured on the parent access point, the MAC address for the parent
can change if a BSSID on the parent is added or deleted.

(Optional) You can also enter a timeout value in seconds that

determines how long the workgroup bridge attempts to associate to a
parent access point before trying the next parent in the list. Enter a
timeout value from 0… 65535 seconds.

9. Exit radio configuration mode and return to global configuration mode.

10. (Optional) Specify the VLAN that to which the devices that are

connected to the workgroup bridge’s Ethernet port are assigned.

11. (Optional) Configure the workgroup bridge as a mobile station. When

you enable this setting, the workgroup bridge scans for a new parent
association when it encounters a poor Received Signal Strength Indicator
(RSSI), excessive radio interference, or a high frame-loss percentage. When
this setting is disabled (the default setting) the workgroup bridge does not
search for a new association until it loses its current association.
