You now have a three AP mesh network ready to demonstrate. Associate a single MU on each AP

WLAN configured for 802.11b/g/n radio support. Once completed, pass traffic among the three APs

comprising the mesh network.

9.3.2 Scenario 2 - Two Hop Mesh Network with a Base Bridge

Repeater and a Client Bridge

By default, the mesh algorithm runs an automatic link selection algorithm to determine the best

possible active and redundant links. If member APs are not far apart (in physical distance), the

algorithm intelligently chooses a single hop link to forward data. To force APs to use multiple hops

for demonstrations, use manual links.

In scenario 2, the following three AP configurations comprise the mesh network:

• AP#1 is a base bridge

• AP#2 is a repeater (client bridge/base bridge combination)

• AP#3 is a client b ridge
