Configuring Dot11Radio Interfaces (Layer 2 Interfaces)
The sections describe the default interface configuration and the optional features that
you can configure on the physical interfaces:
• Operation Mode
• Common settings (Wireless Mode, Channel, etc)
• Operation-mode specific settings
Radio Operation Mode
Radio Interface supports three operation modes, Access, Backhaul and Client. When
configured for Access mode, 802.11 clients are able to associate with the BSSs
configured on the radio interface. When configured for Backhaul mode, other routers
are able to connect to the radio interface through manually or automatically created
WDS links. When configured for Client mode, the router can act as an 802.11 client
itself to connect to any BSS within the range. There are commands that only take effect
in one mode but not the others.
An operation mode must be configured on a radio before it could operate in a mesh
network.
