bridging and point to multipoint

[garybr]

1.

I have 900 yards to bridge two bulidings can I set up two Cisco 1200 AP'for that bridge?

2. Point to multipoint

I am bringing up a point to multipoint network, besides setting; data rates @11mbps, turn off broadcast SIDD, set point as ROOT and multipoint as Repeaters is there anything else I should be aware of?

thanks

APs are not bridges. You need to look at the 1300s instead of the 1200's, or try to pick up some BR350s (not AP350s!).

You'll set your non-root bridges to "non-root", not "repeater". Repeater is an access point mode, not a bridging mode.

thanks for the reply

I am using Cisco 1200 APs in the point to multipoint design. The Root 1200 and the Multipoint 1200s are set to non root?

If you want this scenario:

wired lan - wireless device 1 ... wireless device 2 - wired lan

... wireless device 3 - wired lan

...then you can not accomplish this with AP1200's. You need bridges, presumably 1300's. WD1 will be set as root bridge; WD2 and WD3 will be set as non-root bridge.

If instead, you want this scenario:

wired lan - wireless device 1 ... wireless device 2 ... wireless clients

... wireless device 3 ... wireless clients

...then you can do that with AP1200's. WD1 will be a root access point; WD2 and WD3 will be repeater access points.
