Bridge Topologies
Point-to-multipoint configuration

For multipoint bridging, an omni directional antenna is typically used at the main site. Directional antennas are used at the remote sites. This distinction is shown in Figure . With these antennas the remote sites can then communicate with the main site. In this configuration, again, all the LANs appear as a single segment. Traffic from one remote site to another will be sent to the main site and then forwarded to the other remote site. Remote sites cannot communicate directly with one another.

Line of sight must be maintained between each remote site and the main site.

Set the main bridge to Root = ON and all other bridges to Root = OFF, to enable the bridges to connect to each other.
