Network Configuration Examples
Point-to-Multipoint Bridging
In a point-to-multipoint configuration, two or more non-root bridges associate to a root bridge. Up to 17
non-root bridges can associate to a root bridge, but the non-root bridges must share the available
bandwidth.

If your bridges connect one or more large, flat networks (a network containing more than 256 users on
Note
the same subnet) we recommend that you use a router to connect the bridge to the large, flat network.
Redundant Bridging
You can set up two pairs of bridges to add redundancy or load balancing to your bridge link. The bridges
must use non-adjacent, non-overlapping radio channels to prevent interference, and they must use
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to prevent bridge loops. See
