All APs > Details Page
On this page, the AP Mode under General is automatically set to Bridge for access points that have
bridge functionality, such as the AP1510. This page also shows the following information under
Bridging Information:
•
The bridge type, which specifies whether the access point is designed for indoor or outdoor use. This
field is set to Outdoor for the AP1510.
•
The backhaul interface, or the radio band that this access point uses to transfer data to other
AP1510s. The only possible value is 802.11a.
Step 3
Under Bridging Information, choose one of the following options to specify the role of this access point
in the mesh network:
•
MeshAP
—Choose this option if the AP1510 has a wireless connection to the controller. This is the
default setting in software release 4.0.
•
RootAP
—Choose this option if the AP1510 has a wired connection to the controller.
Note
If you upgrade to software release 4.0 from a previous release, your root access points default to
the MeshAP role. You must reconfigure them for the RootAP role.
Note
You must set the root access point to RootAP. Otherwise, a mesh network is not created.
Step 4
To assign this AP1510 to a bridge group, enter a name for the group in the Bridge Group Name field.
Step 5
Check the
Ethernet Bridging
check box if you want to enable Ethernet bridging on the access point.
Otherwise, uncheck this check box. The default setting is disabled (or unchecked).
