Select Enable for Spanning Tree Mode. When enabled, STP helps prevent switching loops.
STP is recommended if you configure WDS links.
Select Enable for WDS Interface.
Configure the remaining parameters:
• Remote MAC Address—Specifies the MAC address of the destination WAP device;
that is, the WAP device on the other end of the WDS link to which data is sent or
handed-off and from which data is received.
TIP You can find the MAC address on the Status and Statistics > Network Interface page.
• Encryption—The type of encryption to use on the WDS link; it does not have to match
the VAP you are bridging. The WDS Encryption settings are unique to the WDS bridge.
The options are none, WEP, and WPA Personal.
If you are unconcerned about security issues on the WDS link, you may decide not to
set any type of encryption. Alternatively, if you have security concerns you can choose
between Static WEP and WPA Personal. In WPA Personal mode, the WAP device uses
WPA2-PSK with CCMP (AES) encryption over the WDS link. See WEP on WDS
Links or WPA/PSK on WDS Links following this procedure for more information about
encryption options.
Repeat these steps for up to three additional WDS interfaces.
