Configuring a Wireless Distribution System
Use the station-role command to set the role of the radio interface:
station-role non-root bridge (wireless-clients)
station-role repeater
station-role root [access-point|bridge (wireless-clients)]
station-role workgroup-bridge
no station-role
The available station-role command parameters are:
non-root bridge
Specifies that the access point or bridge operates as a "non-root" bridge and must associate
to a "root" bridge or a repeater to reach the core network. Note, this is the default for "non-
root" mode operations.
non-root bridge wireless-client
Specifies that the "non-root" bridge mode accepts associations from client devices.
repeater
Specifies that the access point is configured for repeating operations; the access point relays
wireless data packets between "root"and "non-root" bridges.
root access-point
Specifies that the access point is connected to a wired LAN and does not perform WDS
operations. Note, this is the default for "root" mode operations.
root bridge
Specifies that the access point or bridge operates as the root bridge in a pair of bridges. This
mode does not support wireless client associations. Note, this option supports point-to-point
and multipoint bridge operations.
root bridge wireless-client
Specifies that the "root" bridge mode accepts associations from client devices.
workgroup-bridge
Specifies that the device operates in workgroup bridge mode, so the device associates to an
access point or bridge as a client and provides a wireless LAN connection for devices
connected to its Ethernet port.
