Designated Bridge Selection
If the current designated bridge goes offline, the remaining
candidates negotiate to determine which one becomes the
new designated bridge.
Summary
In summary, the designated bridge:
"
Physically connects to a secondary Ethernet LAN.
"
Is within the radio coverage area of an access point on
the distribution LAN.
"
Has the highest nonzero bridge priority. If it has the
same bridge priority as another access point, then it
has the highest Ethernet address (unless the access
point with the highest priority is out of radio range).
Status
The Status option determines if the access point can
function as a designated bridge. Settings are:
Enabled
Disabled
Setting
Description
Enabled
(default)
This access point may function as the
designated bridge for the secondary
Ethernet LAN.
Disabled
This access point cannot be the designated
bridge for the secondary Ethernet LAN.
The Disabled setting has the same effect as
setting Bridge Priority to 0. The Disabled
setting is valuable for debug.
