How to Configure Point-to-Point Bridge Mode
In point-to-point (P2P) bridge mode, the wireless access point communicates with another bridge-
mode wireless station. Use wireless security to protect this communication. The following figure
shows an example in which two wireless access points (APs) function in point-to-point bridge
mode.
To set up a point-to-point bridge configuration.
