Configuring Repeater and Standby Access Points and Workgroup Bridge Mode Chapter 20
Sample Workgroup Bridge
Configuration Here is a sample configuration of a workgroup bridge access point by using static
WEP with a 40-bit WEP key:
ap#confure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End
with CNTL/Z.
ap(config)#dot11 ssid WGB_with_static_WEP
ap(config-ssid)#authentication open
ap(config-ssid)#guest-mode
ap(config-ssid)#exit
ap(config)#interface dot11Radio 0
ap(config)#station-role workgroup-bridge
ap(config-if)#encry mode wep 40
ap(config-if)#encry key 1 size 40 0 1234567890
ap(config-if)#WGB_with_static_WEP
ap(config-if)#end
To verify that the workgroup bridge is associated to an access point, enter this
command on the workgroup bridge:
show dot11 association
If a wired client does not send traffic for an extended period of time, the
workgroup bridge removes the client from its bridge table, even if traffic is
continuously being sent to the wired client. As a result, the traffic flow to the
wired client fails. To avoid the traffic loss, prevent the wired client from being
removed from the bridge table by configuring the aging-out timer on the
workgroup bridge to a large value. Accomplish this by using the following IOS
commands on the workgroup bridge:
configure terminal
bridge bridge-group-number aging-time seconds
exit
end
where bridge-group-number is a value between 1…255, and seconds is a value
between 10…1,000,000 seconds. We recommend configuring the seconds
parameter to a value greater than the wired client’s idle period.
