wireless design with spanning-tree

[washingtonianCCTV 0]

Top section

 

One recording PC + 2 IP cam (connected to PC through switch) + 1 switch + 1 wireless bridge (WLAN; bridge mode (get signal from bottom 2 wireless bridge; This devices can only be associated with valid MAC address, which are two bottom wireless bridge)

 

 

 

Left bottom

 

5 IP camera (1-5) + 1 switch + 1 wireless bridge(shooting to Top wireless bridge)

 

 

 

Right bottom

 

5 IP camera (6-10) + 1 switch + 1 wireless bridge (shooting to Top wireless bridge)

 

 

 

 

 

workgroup switches 2 & 3 are connected through fast ethernetm not by wireless

 

 

 

 

 

Q1) Is this spanning-tree? Bottom two switches are connected through fast ethernet cable. Top and bottom switch (right and left) are connected through wireless. In other words, if switch supports spanning-tree protocol, I can make top switch as root bridge and use spanning-tree?

 

 

 

Q2) If i make workgroup switch 1 (top switch) as root bridge and enable spanning-tree for all workigroup switches 1, 2, 3 to join. Normally wireless bridge 2 streams only camera 1-5 and wireless bridge 3 streams only camera 6-10 independently?

 

 

 

Q3) When wireless bridge 2 is dead, based on spanning-tree rule (top switch is root bridge), blocking port of switch will go through forwarding state between workgroup switch 2 and 3 through fast ethernet cable and through wireless bridge 3, it will steam all 10 cameras to wireless bridge 1?

 

 

 

Q4) If Wireless bridge 2 is dead, is there any way to report to recording server, except SNMP?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks for your time and knowledge.
