Chapter 5: Bridge Conguration
Introduction
In the 3e-528, wireless bridging is used to set up three independent
wireless bridge connections. Since wireless bridging provides a mecha-
nism for APs to collaborate, it is possible to extend the basic service set
(BSS) of a standalone AP and to connect two separate LANs without
installing any cabling.
The 3e-528 features three bridging ports interconnected to each other
internally. The rst bridging port, accessible from the CONFIG 1 port, can
also act as an access point. The other two bridging ports, accessible from
CONFIG 2 and CONFIG 3, possess dual 802.11b/g cards.
The wireless bridging function in the 3e-528 supports a number of
bridging congurations. We discuss some of the most popular settings in
this chapter:
• Point-to-point bridging of 2 Ethernet Links
• Point-to-multipoint bridging of several Ethernet links
• Repeater mode
When bridging is enabled, the 3e-528 allows remote access of video
images as long as the bridging network and video server are properly set
up.
Before setting up the bridges, all the WAN interfaces in the three
bridging units need to be congured. By default, the IP address of the
three bridging units are set to 192.168.254.254. They need to be set up to
either get the IP address from DHCP or by assigning a static IP address to
each of them.
The access point is part of the rst bridge and is accessible from CON-
FIG 1. Refer to Chapter 3. To set up the WAN interface in the other two
bridging units, perform the same procedure using CONFIG 2 and CON-
FIG 3. After logging on to the GUI, the WAN settings can be changed by
going to the System Conguration — WAN screen.
