The bridge irb command is used to enable integrated routing and bridging, which the Auto AP code has
retained from other higher end platforms.
You have to create dynamic interfaces 184 and 185 on the WLC for the above configuration to work. The
WGB updates the WLC about the wired-client VLAN information in the IAPP association message. The
WLC treats the WGB client as a VLAN-client and forwards the packet in the right VLAN interface based on
the source MAC address. In the upstream direction, the WGB removes the 802.1Q header from the packet
and sends it to the WLC. In the downstream direction, the WLC sends the packet to the WGB without the
802.1Q tag and the WGB adds the 802.1Q header based on the destination MAC address, while forwarding
the packet to the switch that connects the wired client.
