Point to Multipoint deployment??

[rguzman.plannet]

Hi everyone,

I've been asked to implement a point to multipoint solution which I had never done before.

My question is how many non roots can the root support?

I am planning to use 1310 bride as root with a AIR-ANT24120 and non roots AP1242 with AIR-ANT2410Y-R they wont be longer than 1 km.

I'd appreciate your comments, suggestions and design guides if there are any.

Thank you!

Here is the answer to your question:

Point-to-Multipoint Bridging

In a point-to-multipoint configuration, two or more non-root bridges associate to a root bridge. Up to 17 non-root bridges can associate to a root bridge, but the non-root bridges must share the available bandwidth.
