Does a WiNG AP configured as a Virtual Controller (VC) support bridging?

Bldg 1 Bldg 2
PC's------Network Switch----7632e configured as VC>>>><<<<7632e----Network Switch------PC's

Looking to provide a cost effective wireless bridging solution to tie two buildings together.

Thanks.

Hello Dmelo,
The AP7632E VC and/or non-VC supports bridging, which we call MESHCONNEX (MCX). If using the UI, the settings are under Wireless/Meshconnex.

Yes. The 7632 APs do support the use to MCX (meshing). The fact that one of the AP is a VC doesn't affect this. I believe the MCX support for this model started in 5.9.2
