Wds Network Topology - Deliberant DLB27 Series User Manual


You don‟ t need to add all MAC address of devices existing in your network to the WDS AP List. The WDS AP List only
needs to specify the MAC address of devices you need to directly connect to.

The bandwidth of the device is limited. Bandwidth will be shared between bridging devices.

WDS Network Topology

In this section, we will demonstrate the WDS network topologies and WDS AP List configuration. You can setup four kinds of
network topologies: bus, star, ring and mesh.
In this case, there are five devices with WDS enabled: WDS1, WDS2, WDS3, WDS4 and WDS5.
