any, and encryption in use (WPA is not available in bridge modes).

All Point-to-Point APs must have AP2’s MAC address in its Remote AP MAC address
table.

If MAC access control list security is enabled on the APs, verify that the MAC access
control lists on each AP are complete and accurate.

Verify connectivity across the LANs.

If you check the Enable Wireless Client Association checkbox, wireless clients will also
be able to use the AP.

A computer on any LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files
and printers with any other PCs or servers connected to any of the three LAN segments.

If Access Control Lists are enabled on the APs, only computers in the access control list

Point-to-Point mode for additional wireless LAN segments.
