Can one Root Bridge support multiple non-root bridges?

Hey gang,
I have a pretty simple question here I think
I have a wireless bridge currently setup to support a separate office building on our property about 200 yards away from the main building.  The wireless bridge has been working great and was a much cheaper solution when compared to the cost of making a fiber drop to this building.  The needs of our business have changed (go figure), to include a warehouse building also on the backside of the property.  It's not feasible to run a cable between these two building either.  So I need to create another wireless bridge to this back warehouse as well.  My question is can I just use another non-root bridge to link to the root bridge already in place, or does each wireless bridge require one root bridge and one non-root bridge?
I have good LoS to both buildings from where the current root bridge is, so if two non-root bridges can talk to one root bridge I should be able to just an additional non-root bridge and be good to go.  But if wireless bridges are meant to be a one to one setup, then I'll need to setup an additional root bridge to link to the new non-root bridge?
It seems like you should be able to have one root bridge link to multiple non-root bridges but I haven't been able to find any clear examples of this being done.
Thanks in advance for the help!

That was just too easy.
I copied the configuration from the working non-root bridge to my laptop.  I changed out the ip address of the BVI interface.  I uploaded the configuration to the new 1300 bridge.  I plugged it in and pointed the yagi antenna in the general direction of the original root bridge and started pinging the new 1300.  Success!
I'll use my spare 1300 to get service up and running in the warehouse by the end of the week and I'll just need to order one more 1300 to make sure I have spare on hand if needed.
Thanks again!

  • Can one wireless network support multiple airplay streams?

    I know you can send one stream to multiple airports, but if I have two airport expresses and one macbook and one ipad, can two people listen to two different songs in different rooms?

    Simple answer: yes
    Fuller answer: Assuming you mean you want to send one AirPlay stream from the MacBook to one AirPort Express and another stream from the iPad to a different Express, yes, if your network has the bandwidth to support both (which it should unless it is subject to extreme conditions like long distances or thick walls).

  • Root Bridge vs. Non-Root Bridge

    Hi,
    I want to understand the Root Bridge vs. the Non-Root Bidge when using Autonomous 1131 AP's on the same /24 network. Does that command matter in Autonomous? I have many devices working without issues on the same /24 network and all have the Root Bridge set,
    Clearly confused...
    Thanks,

    The command is used on point to point links deployments
    A non root bridge becomes a client and connect to another ap in order to do wireless bridging.

    Logical system is an ALIAS name for a physical LOCATION. so we may have more than 1 logical system name for a physical location.
    eventhough its allowed,but normally we dont do that.
    you can do this in FILE transaction.

  • Can a wireless router (station role non-root) associate to 2 APs ?

    can a wireless router (as station role non-root) associate to 2 simultaneous APs ?
    say something like this on an 18xx router:
    dot11 ssid firstAP
    dot11 ssid secondAP
    interface Dot11Radio0/1/1
    ssid firstAP
    ssid secondAP
    what I want is something like two virtual-radios/VLANs/whatever with two independent outside routes; say:
    ip address dhcp for ssid firstAP
    ip address dhcp for ssid secondAP
    where firstAP is my AP and secondAP is a near free hot-spot AP (authentication open)

    Nice idea but unfortunatelty it won't work. You can only associate one radio to a single infrastructure device at any one time.

  • Root Bridge+Clients with Non-Root Bridge+Clients Howto?

    Hi, i have two 1242AG access points. I would like to setup a bridge between the two to bridge ethernet lan segments, furthermore i would like to be able to connect wireless clients to either of the access points so i can get maximum range.
    I did what i thought was correct, created the first access point a 'root bridge with wireless clients', and assigned the ssid.
    I set the second access point to 'non-root bridge with wireless clients' amd set the same ssid as the first access point.
    I cant even get the root bridge to work, i turn it on, it brings the radio interface up but i cannot connect with my wireless clients, infact i cannot even see the SSID!
    Do i need to 'Set Single Guest Mode SSID' for the radios? What does that command do?
    Any ideas? A link to config example would be much apreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi, first, thanks for the help.
    Second, this incompatibility is only valid
    for RFC1042 or it is valid for 802.11g?
    Third, If I configure my 1242 as Acess Point, and the 340 series as Client or Brigde_only, they should not talk too?
    Sorry for the bad english...

  • SAP 1602 Wireless bridge issue. Non root bridge loses it's configuration

    Hi guys,
    Today I tried to configure wireless link between two autonomous AP 1602 APs.
    There is a problem with Non-root bridge. I configured it with this command:
    AP2(config-if)#station-role non-root wireless-clients
    Non-root bridge successfully joins the root bridge (root AP). Anyway, this configuration does not work, if I reload my non-root bridge. Even without reload, If I check my non-root bridge configuration it looks like this:
    interface Dot11Radio1
    no ip address
    no ip route-cache
    encryption vlan 1 mode ciphers aes-ccm
    ssid WiFi-Bridge
    antenna gain 0
    stbc
    beamform ofdm
    Command "station-role non-root wireless-clients" is missing here. But I just configured it few seconds ago... Does anyone know, where could be a problem?

    Okay... Everything works with OPEN ssid. Not with my WPA 2 configuration.
    On both APs configuration looks like this:
    dot11 ssid Private
       vlan 10

  • Can an Apple TV support multiple PC at the same time?

    My boss and I were wondering if an Apple TV could help us in a specific situation.
    Let's say we are having a meeting and we are 3 in the room.  Alternatively, each of us will have to present some slides / share our PC Screen.  Today, we have to unplug the VGA/HDMI cable, and pass it to the other.  This is non value added.
    The 3 of us are running Dell PC's with Windows 7 & XP, and we were wondering if we had an Apple TV device, could the 3 us be able to share/mirror our screen, and (with the remote or and app), switch from one screen to the other ?

    Hi
    So basically, we get the Apple TV2, connect it to our Flat Screen, then we would have to install "Airparrot" on all PC that would need to mirror its screen on the Flat Screen.
    As for connecting and disconnecting, how does this work?  Every PC is having like a"control" panel where you can disconnect/connect or you do this using the remote?
    About if Xbox allows this, I'm not aware, but not sure who we could "justifying" getting an Xbox for the office, where as an AppleTV would make more sense
    Thanks

    that's good , but I want to change my code to perform a distinct results .
    by accurate meaning , if this result happen ( 1*12=12) than I don't it repeat
    again like (12*1=12) or (2*6=12) .... ect.
    is there any suggest ?!

    Just store your results in hash table and before output check, whether results already been produced.
    declare
      type res_t is table of number index by binary_integer;
      results res_t;
    begin
      for i in 1 .. 12 loop
        dbms_output.put_line('---------------------[' || i ||

          if not results.exists(i * j)  then
            dbms_output.put_line(i || '*' || j || '=' || i * j);
            results(i * j) := i * j;
          end if;
        end loop;
      end loop;
    end;Best regards

  • How to connect one IIS server to multiple non clustered WebLogic servers

    I have the following installed on Win2K Servers:
    IIS 6
    BEA Weblogic 6.1 running some webservices
    BEA Weblogic 8.1 running an application
    -Both Weblogic servers are running on the same machine (different ports obviously), IIS is on a different machine on the same network.
    I have the website currently configured so that jsp files and several servlets are forwarded to the 8.1 server. So: http://mysite.com/hello.jsp or http://mysite.com/myServlet will properly forward to the 8.1 instance.
    What I want to do (and have been unable to do so thus far) is to setup IIS such that http://mysite.com/myServices will forward to the 6.1 instance.
    I’ve tried to setup the 6.1 iisforward and isapi dll files in a separate folder with their own ini file but I get an Overlapped I/O operation is in progress whenever the 6.1 iisforward.dll file is loaded. (Application Protection is set to High)
    Any suggestions?

  • Root-Bridge and Non-Root Bridge Support

    I was wondering if the ISR Routers (Cisco 1811w) support the root-bridge and non-root-bridge feature. If not is there another device apart from the 1310 and 1410 bridges that support this feature?
    Thank You,
    VT

    Hi VT,
    The ISR AP supports both of these roles;
    Access Point Link Role Flexibility
    Access Point Link Role Flexibility allows access point radios to operate in a combination of radio roles,
    such as access point root, bridge root (with or without clients), bridge nonroot (with or without clients).
    This provides a more flexible deployment scheme to support the various applications requirement. Note
    that the ISR AP does not support access point repeater and WGB.
    Wireless Non-Root Bridge
    The wireless non-root bridge allows the access point radio to operate as the remote node in a point to
    point or point to multi-point network.
    Wireless Root Bridge
    The wireless root bridge role provides support for both point-to-point or point to multi-point bridging.

  • 1300 Root-Bridge and Non-Root Bridge setup

    I have two 1300s that I am trying to set up as Root Bridge and Non-Root Bridge, however, everytime i specify one of them as a Non-Root bridge, the radio0 interface becomes disabled. The only option that i am able to pick that enables the radio0 interface is "Access Point", which is what am trying to avoid it being.
    Can anybody help me figure out how to go about this

    A non-root's radio will show as disabled if it cannot find the root AP to associate to. Make sure you have "infrastructure-ssid" configured under the SSID on both the root and non-root bridges. Also depending on code versions you may have to configure the distance command under the radio interface on the root.

  • Non-root bridges associating with each other.

    We have a point to multi-point bridge setup with 3 BR1310s. One is set to be a root bridge and the other two are set to be non-root bridges. From past experience (not to mention Cisco documentation) I would expect the 2 non-roots to associate to the root. What is happening is that one of the non-roots associates with the root and the other non-root associates with the first non-root. The good bit is that everything still works, the puzzling bit is why this is happening, the bridges are physically in a V pattern so there's no reason for the second non-root to behave as it is, even if we force it off the first non-root it just jumps right back in there again. Bridges are all running 12.3.4-JA.

    Configurations of both non-root bridges attached. I've just found out that the customer has mounted the second non-root bridge in such a way that there is probably no line of site to the root bridge (failing to follow clear instructions!) which explains why we can't get it to associate with the root bridge but doesn't explain how it can associate with the other non-root. The only thing I can think of is that both are "non-root with clients" and the second bridge is being accepted as a client rather than a bridge.

  • 1310 Root Bridge will not Authenticate with 350 Non Root Bridge

    I've exhausted myself solving this issue.
    I have a 1310 set as a root bridge using WEPS. I have a 350 set as a non root bridge/without clients, also using WEPS (they both use the same SSID)
    The 350 will not authenticate to the 1310. After doing a Carrier Busy Test, it is clear the 350 see's the 1310 with signal strengh of 100 percent.
    (I have a test lab setup in my office)
    If I make the 350 the Root Bridge and the 1310 the Non Root, The 1310 will authenticate to the 350.
    I hoping someone else has seen this problem and can enlighten me.
    Thank you.

    I have successfully configured a 1310 Bridge as a Root Bridge and a BR350 Bridge and a Non Root Bridge/with Clients. I also had to force the 1310 to operate at 11MB only.
    As soon as I make the BR350 Bridge a Non Root Bridge/without Clients, the authentication is dropped between the two.
    I was hoping I could transition to the 1310 one unit at a time since I have over a dozen 350's to replace.
