An IP Tunnels configuration is shown in Figure 32.

Figure 32 IP Tunnels Configuration

A non-root access point can concurrently receive hello messages on its
Ethernet port, its radio port, and its IP tunnel port. However, an access
point can use only one port to attach to the network. Port priorities are
structured so that an Ethernet connection is always selected first and an
IP tunnel connection is always selected before a radio connection.

Setting the secondary LAN bridge priority to zero disables the bridging
of wireless traffic to remote IP subnets. It allows end devices that are
connected to access points on a remote IP subnet to communicate with
hosts on the home subnet without bridging wireless traffic to the
remote IP subnet. This is always done for IP communication since the
wireless traffic is always from the home subnet and not from the remote
subnet. The secondary LAN bridge priority will allow you to select the
bridging mode for non-IP traffic such as NNL.
