for an AP is Root AP, and the Root AP obtains the WDS Group Password from the switch when it

becomes managed. However, you must know the MAC address of the Root AP so you can add it to

the Valid AP database and WDS Managed group. This example assumes the IP address of the AP is

assigned by a network DHCP server.

switch. If you do not know the IP address of the switch, connect to the console port (Baud rate: 115200,

Data: 8 bit, Parity: none, Stop: 1 bit, Flow control: none), and enter the

switch IP address.
