Cisco Workgroup Bridge Configuration

This is a sample configuration to configure a Cisco autonomous AP into universal workgroup bridge mode.
This mode connects to a pre-existing WiFi network and bridges the connection to the Ethernet port. The MAC address referenced on the station-role line should be whichever device is attached to Gi0 (such as a desktop computer or router).

Note: In this role the AP won’t be reachable via the WiFi network – unless it is the only MAC on the link.
