Wireless Bridge




A wireless bridge is used for connecting two or more network segments separated physically" Understanding Wireless LAN Bridges ." Accessed , 2007 ..

In point to point link, there is a pair of two bridges that are used for connecting only two network segments, whereas in a point to multi point bridge, one bridge is installed as root bridge, and many non-root bridges attach to this root bridge. Now, in this fashion, if one non-root network segment wants to pass data to the other non-root segment, it passes it through the root bridge.

For setting up bridges, all the bridges must be set on the same Service Set Identifier (SSID), Radio Channel and WEP , or other Authentication mechanism if implemented.
