WDS Configuration from the CLI

1.) Connect to the MyAP1 by using Telnet, SSH, or a serial connection.
2.) Configure the remote MAC address for MyAP2.
set interface wlan0wds0 status up remote-mac 00:30:AB:00:00:B0
3.) Set WPA (PSK) as the encryption type for the link.
set interface wlan0wds0 wds-security-policy wpa-personal
4.) Set the SSID on the WDS link.
set interface wlan0wds0 wds-ssid wds-link
5.) Configure the encryption key.
set interface wlan0wds0 wds-wpa-psk-key abcdefghijk
6.) Administratively enable the WDS link.
set interface wlan0wds0 status up
7.) Perform the same configuration steps on MyAP2.

WDS Configuration Using SNMP

1.) Load the DLINK-WLAN-ACCESS-POINT-X600-MIB module.
2.) From the MIB tree, navigate to the objects in the apIfConfig table.
3.) Walk the apIfConfigName object to view the instance ID for the first WDS link (wlan0wds0).
The first WDS link is instance 1.
4.) Set the value of instance 1 in the apIfConfigRemoteMac object to 00:30:AB:00:00:B0.
In the MG-Soft browser, the format for the MAC address value to set is # 0x00 0x30 0xAB 0x00 0x00 0xB0.
5.) Set the value of instance 1 in the apIfConfigWdsSecPolicy object to WPA Personal (3).
6.) Set the value of instance 1 in the apIfConfigSsid object to wds-link.
7.) Set the value of instance 1 in the apIfConfigWdsWpaPskKey object to abcdefthijk.
Some MIB browsers require that the value be entered in HEX values rather than ASCII values.
8.) Perform the same configuration steps on MyAP2.

Clustering Access Points

This example shows how to configure a cluster with two APs and to enable automatic channel reassignment. The
location of the local AP is Room 214, and the cluster name is MyCluster.

Clustering APs by Using the Web Interface

1.) Log onto the AP and navigate to the Cluster > Access Points page.
2.) If clustering has started, click Stop Clustering so you can change the Clustering Options.
3.) Enter the AP location and the name of the cluster for it to join.
4.) Click Apply.
