Using the 1262 AP in Workgroup Bridge Mode

rodoneal09 · ‎11-19-2012

Client has a building that is located 300Ft apart and would like to provide IP communications for 3-4 IP hadsets back to an IP PBX. They do not want to dig up the parking lot so we proposed using a wireless bridge. I noticed that Cisco discontinue the 1300 and 1400 Wireless Bridge. Can I use a 1262 with external antenna in Workgroup Bridge mode to perfom this functions? I will put a Layer 3 switch on both ends to route traffice (3560C-8). Should I use the Yagi antenna's for outdoor use? Thanks!

You could go WGB, but root/non-root might work better. This will allows you to pass multiple VLAN across the link.

This is a bit old, but it' the Bridge Range utility
