Ethernet Bridged Traffic Termination

D.

In a wireless mesh network, Ethernet bridged traffic is terminated at the MAP (Mesh Access Point) and RAP (Root Access Point) devices.

A mesh network consists of multiple access points (APs) that are interconnected wirelessly to provide coverage over a large area. The MAPs are the intermediate nodes in the network that route traffic between other MAPs and the RAP. The RAP is the primary AP in the network that provides connectivity to the wired network.

Ethernet bridged traffic is traffic that is generated by devices connected to the wired network and is destined for other devices on the wired network. This traffic is carried over the wireless mesh network by encapsulating it in Ethernet frames.

When a MAP receives Ethernet bridged traffic, it decapsulates the Ethernet frames and forwards the traffic to its destination. If the destination is on the wired network, the traffic is forwarded to the RAP. The RAP then bridges the traffic onto the wired network.

Therefore, in a wireless mesh network, Ethernet bridged traffic is terminated at the MAP and RAP devices. The WLC (Wireless LAN Controller) and WGB (Wireless Bridge) are not involved in the termination of Ethernet bridged traffic in a mesh network.
