The following chart maps the basic procedure to be followed in con-
 guring the three units as shown above. Essentially, you can follow the
procedure as laid out in the section on point-to-point bridging. It is the
BSSID and the Bridging Encryption that allows the two bridges to com-
municate. Needless to say, the con guration of the access point deter-
mines the functioning of the dependent WLAN.
