wireless bridging

Hi all

This maybe a dumb question, when connecting a root ap to a mesh ap, do they use the same channel to connect to each other?

cheers

Yes.

Mesh Access Points have wireless connections to their Wireless LAN Controller. MAPs communicate among themselves and back to the RAP with the use of wireless connections over the 802.11a radio backhaul. MAPs use the Cisco Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP) in order to determine the best path through the other mesh access points to the controller.

Yes,

They do use the same channel to connect each other.
