root-ap option missing

I want to achieve a point to point connection between two Mikrotik equipment both operating in bridge mode (mode=bridge).

I would like to make one of the equipment parent and the other as a child by using root-ap="MAC of the parent" on the child.

Having read about this approach in the manual, I have discovered that I can not find root-ap option.

If all were as expected I was expecting the following command to pass on child:

/interface wireless set wlan1 mode=bridge ssid=<ssid> frequency=<frequency> root−ap=<mac-of-parent> disabled=no

However in my case root-ap seems not to be the right option.

Any help?

If you want to make an PTP link with mirktoik then you can set one side on bridge and other side on station, then in access list you can tell who to connect or not.

Durim,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I resorted to setting ap-bridge and station modes which achieved the objective I had in mind. It is up and running.
