To enable the WGB to communicate with the root AP, create a WLAN and make sure that Aironet IE is enabled under the Advanced settings.Wired clients connected to a WGB inherit the WGB’s QoS and AAA override attributes.Therefore, we recommend that you physically secure the wired side of the WGB. Instead, the WGB is authenticated against the access point to which it associates. Wired clients connected to the WGB are not authenticated for security.

If you want to use a chain of certificates, copy all the CA certificates to a file and install it under a trust point on the WGB, or else server certificate validation may fail.Session timeout is not applicable for wired clients.Idle timeout is not supported for both WGB and wired clients.MAC filtering is not supported for wired clients.Since this is the first code to support WGB functionality in 9100 series AP, certain restrictions listed below are applicable (per in IOS-XE 17.8.1 config guide). If you are familiar with 11ac Wave2 AP WGB configuration (refer to this post for more detail), you can get a feel for WGB configurations with 9100 series as well. It only supports the following 3 AP models in this software release. Cisco enabled WGB support on their Catalyst APs (91xx series) from IOS-XE 17.8.1 version onward (refer release note to see all features added).
