other switches in the cluster.
The following table shows the fields available to configure a WDS managed AP group.
Field Description
WDS Group Name A descriptive name of the WDS AP group. From this field, you can modify the name of
an existing group, if desired.
Spanning Tree Specifies whether to enable spanning tree on all APs in this WDS AP group.
Spanning tree must be enabled if there are any potential loops in the network. For
example if a satellite AP has links to two root APs then spanning tree must be enabled.
Note: The spanning tree protocol running on the APs interacts with the spanning tree
protocol running on the edge switches to which the APs are connected.

Password ASCII characters. To create or change the password, select the Edit checkbox and type
a password in the available field.
This password must match the passwords set on the satellite APs in this group. By
default, the password is AP-Group-n, where n is the AP group ID.
