Just putting a switch in
wont do it. The suggestion was
a switch at each point in
the network that supports VLAN
tagging.
You are better off
routing. It isolates the broadcasts to
that portion of the
network so it doesn't take your entire
network down. (or slow it
significantly)
How to tell? MANY MANY
MANY small packets with a destination
of your broadcast address
on that network segment.
so just added any unmanaged cheap switch between
the two will stop any broadcast traffic? How can you tell if you are being
affected by broadcast problems or any other problems you get with a bridged
network? I do not have problems now but would like to know what to look
for.
Thank you,
Jerry

You can prevent
the broadcast traffic by two ways.
- Having a router
between the CB and the aPPO,
- or creating
VLAN�s by using switches at every POP.

Ok I am wondering the best way
here. I require all my clients to run a router at there location(Dlink
DI-604). I have seen people talk about this topic and say its much better to
run a network that has routers at each access point site. If all my clients
have a router is it ok to just do a client bridge and access point as a
repeater? Will the broadcast storms and such be stopped because my
clients have a router at each location or could this still become a
problem in the future because of the way I am setting up access points
without any routing involved? Should I be adding a router in between each
client bridge appo and the access point appo?
