Using APs as bridge and mobility express

Ninjabean — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 18:04:00 GMT

Is it possible to use APs in mobility express mode, while also using them as a bridge? Customer is wanting to do this with Cisco 1542D APs. If so, is there a config guide that anyone can point me to? I have set up bridges before, but always with a typical controller.

Check this thread: https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless-and-mobility/wireless-bridge-using-mobility-express/td-p/3383949
I'm not sure if bridging is supported by now for the 1542D platform.

Thank you - do you know if in general is is possible to use both bridging and ME? Just out of my own curiosity.

No I don't know this. Never tested or needed it.

Thank you for the information. I am reaching out to a sales engineer to see if I can get an answer. It does not seem possible to me based on what I have read.
