    If a connection is needed between three separate buildings lets say a,b,c on the same ip subnet ( is that a valid option with vlan tagging?)

    and we have to provide roaming between all three buildings considering that a areial will be put on on top of building A to connect building B and C.

    will it be a point to point connection from building A to building B and C ?

    or will it be a point to multipoint connection as areial on building A will be serving two buildings i.e B and C .

    Hi actually i found out it is point to multipoint,

    but is it possibe that from one AP bridge( i.e building A ) , only two buildings can be pointed B and C i.e in line of sight respectively , considering that there is one building in between which is not as tall as all a,b and c.

    (will they be able to provide roaming? if they are bridged)

  • Hi Guest:

    Long time since your post. Roaming (moving between basic service areas or BSAs) is supported by reassociation which in turn is supported by a common service set identifier (SSID) in the several basic service sets (BSSs). Prompt reassociation while roaming often assumes a common IP subnet, which is what one expects with bridging.

    I hope this helps. Can you add your name and location to your forum profile? Thanks /criss
