Multi-Point Bridge
Multi-point bridge mode allows a router to bridge to multiple peer access points
simultaneously. Wireless client associations are disabled. Only wired clients can be
connected. Multi-point bridge mode configuration includes the following steps:
1. Enter the MAC addresses of the other access points in the fields provided.
2. Set the other bridge-mode access points to point-to-point bridge mode, using the MAC
address of this DGN2200M Mobile Edition as the remote MAC address.
3. Use wireless security to protect this traffic.

 To set up the multi-point bridge configuration:
1. Configure the operating mode of the wireless modem routers.
• Because it is in a central location, configure the DGN2200M Mobile Edition wireless
modem router (AP 1) on LAN segment 1 in point-to-multi-point bridge mode, and
enter the MAC addresses of AP 2 and AP 3 in the Remote MAC Address 1 and
Remote MAC Address 2 fields.
• Configure the access point (AP 2) on LAN segment 2 in point-to-point bridge mode
with the remote MAC address of the DGN2200M Mobile Edition wireless modem
router.
• Configure the access point (AP 3) on LAN segment 3 in point-to-point bridge mode
with the remote MAC address of the DGN2200M Mobile Edition wireless modem
router.
2. Disable the DHCP server on AP 2 and AP 3. AP 1 will then be the DHCP server.
3. Verify the following for all access points:
