Hello,
I am having trouble finding clear information on how to configure two 1572 APs as a wireless bridge.
Currently I have 1 2504 Controller on version 8.0.152.0
I am using a meraki switch to power and connect the APs into the network, in the future it will be a cisco Switch.
I would like to know the exact configuration steps to follow to configure the APs. I have tried multiple things i pieced together from various articles, but they all seem to be outdated. The APs do not seem to be connecting to one another, I checked the radio status and it states down "Dot11Radio0 is reset, line protocol is down"
Additionally, I only have one GHz antenna per AP. Will this be an issue? I was assuming I could just shut down the second antenna.
Thanks,

here a document on a workgroup bridge using Cisco WLC

I do not seem to be able to do any sort of configuration on the AP side. Is their an example of the WLC side configuration of it?

Are you intend to use this as MESH APs ? or use in Autonomous mode like traditional P2P bridge ?

If you do not have autonomous image then you cannot configure it as a traditional bridge (root/non-root bridge). If that was a option you can configure it like below

With controller based solution, please go through below mesh deployment guide, you may be able to get your requirements fulfil through that solution as well

It seems it keeps establishing connection. Will it have an issue with connectivity? Does it dissacosiate when it associates with the EAP-FAST? just trying to understand if this is normal.
I keep getting this message:

What exact model do you have? If you have ‘e’ model, do you have the antennas connected? Also you either need a power injector, ac adapter, 802.3af or hard line power.
