Parent command in Bridges

[apostollic]

I am running the 1242

and bridging between them.....multiple bridges..spanning tree  is working great...

someone had put parent commands on the non-root bridges.....my understand

ing is that this is for Repeater functionality,,I cannot find anywhere in documentation that this

is for root/non-root bridging....what happens is that once in awhile the non-root bridges lose contact with their swith

on their ethernet side...this sounds like a repeater.....are the parent commansd for repeater functionality

Hi,

The parent command is used to determine the only parent(s) to which the AP can associate. It works for repeater but also for root/non-root bridges. The non-root will then refuse to associate to any other parent than the one it is configured for.

Your issue is not related to that command to my opinion.
