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.
