Set the wireless device role.
• Set the role to non-root bridge with or without wireless
clients, repeater access point, root access point or bridge,
scanner, or workgroup bridge.
• When in bridge mode, they are interoperable with the 1300
series outdoor access point/bridge only on supported
bridge features.
• The bridge mode radio supports point-to-point and
point-to-multipoint configuration.
• A 1300 series outdoor access point/bridge operating as a
non-root bridge can associate with another non-root bridge
as long as the station role for the non-root bridge is set to
non-root wireless clients.
• The Ethernet port is shut down when any one of the radios
is configured as a repeater. Only one radio per access point
may be configured as a workgroup bridge or repeater.
• The dot11radio 0|1 antenna-alignment command is
available when the access point is configured as a repeater.
• A workgroup bridge can have a maximum of 254 clients,
presuming that no other wireless clients are associated to
the root bridge or access point.
• A universal workgroup bridge configures the access point
in workgroup bridge mode and able to interoperate with
non-Cisco access points. You must enter the Ethernet client
MAC address. The workgroup bridge associates with the
configured MAC address only if it is present in the bridge
table and it should not be a static entry. If validation fails,
the workgroup bridge associates with its BVI MAC
address. Also, the universal workgroup bridge role
supports only one wired client.
• Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is configurable on access
points in bridge modes.
• (Optional) Select the root access point fallback role. If the
wireless device Ethernet port is disabled or disconnected
from the wired LAN, the wireless device can either shut
down its radio port or become a repeater access point
associated to any nearby root access point.
