Hi there,
I have attached my wireless on a C871W through IRB to the wired LAN. Can anybody tell me if a bridge-group has influence on performance in comparison to have two different VLANs and connect the Wireless & LAN through Vlan-routing only?
What are the disadvantages in terms of throughput/performance when using Bridge-groups?
Thanks for your help!
Andy
Since transparent bridging seems to be fast-switched too I would not expect any significant difference.
Nothing like testing it though?
This one is fast switching almost all transparently bridged packets.
