How to .q trunk thru a 1400 bridge

Hi. I'd like to trunk several vlans thru my 1400 bridge. I'd also like working QoS, as one of the vlans carries VoIP. I have a C3550 switch at each end. Do I have to:

A. Create multiple SSID, assign one to each .1q ID, and have the bridges associate to each other on each SSID, and set individual QoS values on each VLAN? or..

B. Make sure the management interface for the bridges are in vlan 1 (my management vlan) and the SSID is vlan 1, and simply trunk/send tagged packets to the bridge by setting the 3550 switches at each end to trunking?

Thanks.

The following document has a sample configuration of enabling QoS for the VoIP traffic,

I wasn't quite able to understand it from your refered page. However I found this one under the wirelss bridge deployment guide that gave me the clue.

Bridges can only have one SSID, which you assign to the native vlan. You configure the switches at each end to trunk. Then the special thing, is you have to define each vlan you want trunked across the link. It is like the bridge does not understand the VTP traffic, so does not learn which vlans are in use, so you need to manually enter them. Then it will pass them across. Unlike a AP, you dont assign each vlan to an SSID, you just need to define them

Working fine now.
