What is the difference between an Ethernet Bridge and a Workgroup Bridge (WGB)?
A. Ethernet Bridges connect wired LANs. Ethernet Bridges connect one segment on the LAN to another segment in the same building or across town. Workstations on each of the remote LANs can communicate with each other as though the workstations are on the same physical LAN. The bridge can also function as a radio access point (AP). In this case, the bridge provides transparent wireless data communications in either of these: • Between the wired LAN and fixed, portable, or mobile devices—the devices have a wireless adapter and employ the same modulation. • Within the radio network WGBs are small, stand-alone units that provide wireless infrastructure connections for devices with enablement for Ethernet. A device that connects to a WGB communicates with the network infrastructure through Cisco Aironet APs. The WGB connects to a hub through a standard Ethernet port with the use of a 10BASE-T connector. You can wire-connect up to eight client devices to the hub. The WGB communicates only wit
