To specify the details of traffic exchange from this access point to others, click the WDS tab.
Before you configure WDS on the AP, note the following guidelines:
• When using WDS, be sure to configure WDS settings on both APs participating in the WDS link.
• You can have only one WDS link between any pair of APs. That is, a remote MAC address may appear only once on the
WDS page for a particular AP.
• Both APs participating in a WDS link must be on the same Radio channel and using the same IEEE 802.11 mode. (See
"Modifying Radio Settings" on page 43
• When 802.11h is operational, setting up two WDS links can be difficult. See
page 42.
• If you use WPA encryption on the WDS link over radio 1, VAP0 of radio 1 must use WPA Personal or WPA Enterprise as
the security mode. If you use WPA on a WDS link over radio 2, VAP0 of radio 2 must use WPA Personal or WPA
Enterprise as the security mode.
To configure WDS on this AP, describe each AP intended to receive hand-offs and send information to this AP. For each
destination AP, configure the fields listed in
