Interface configuration mode
Specifying a Root Bridge for a Non-root Bridge
Mandatory.
Configure bridge coverage on APs for fat APs.
Two ways are available for specifying a root bridge to access: specifying its BSSID or SSID.
Specifying the BSSID of a root bridge: This is applicable to a static root bridge.
Specifying the SSID of a root bridge: This will enable the non-root roaming function to select the root bridge with the
best signals for access.
Run the parent { mac-address HHHH.HHHH.HHHH | ssid ssid } command to specify the BSSID or SSID of a root
bridge to be accessed by a non-root bridge.
parent { mac-address HHHH.HHHH.HHHH | ssid ssid }
mac-address HHHH.HHHH.HHHH: Specifies the BSSID of a root bridge for static bridging.
ssid ssid: Specifies the SSID of a root bridge optimal for roaming.
This command is disabled by default.
Interface configuration mode
Non-root bridges start searching root bridges after this command is executed. If WDS bridging is required,
this command must be configured on the non-root bridges.
Configuring Bridge Coverage
Optional.
In Root Bridge mode: Configure bridge coverage on APs for fat APs. In Non-root Bridge mode: Configure bridge
coverage on APs for fat APs.
This command is optional if the WDS does not need the bridge coverage function. This command is mandatory if the
bridge coverage function is required.
This command is not recommended so that the coverage function is disabled during bridging.
bridge with-client{ enable | disable }
enable: Enables bridge coverage.
disable: Disables bridge coverage.
Bridge coverage is disabled by default.
