Summary

This module discussed wireless bridges as a means of connecting two or more LANs to create one large LAN. Because the bridge is a radio device, common causes of interference that can reduce throughput and range were discussed, along with precautions that must be considered when configuring a bridge.

This module provided the opportunity to configure a bridge and provided experience with configuring Ethernet and radio ports on a bridge. Finally, the module discussed how time, name, boot, and routing services are set up and managed.

Through the use of the hands-on lab activities that accompanied this module, the student gained an understanding of initial bridge setup, services configuration, and how configuration files should be managed.
