• Untagged VLAN ID—Choose a VLAN ID from the VLAN ID list. The default
is 1. Traffic on the VLAN that you specify in this field is not be tagged with a
VLAN ID when forwarded to the network.
VLAN 1 is the both default untagged VLAN and the default management
VLAN. If you want to segregate management traffic from the untagged VLAN
traffic, configure the new VLAN ID at your router, and then use this new VLAN
ID on your WAP device.
Click Save.

Configuring WDS Bridge

To configure a WDS bridge:
Select Wireless > WDS Bridge.
Check Enable for WDS Interface.
Configure the remaining parameters:
• Remote MAC Address—Specifies the MAC address of the destination WAP
device; that is, the WAP device on the other end of the WDS link to which
data is sent or handed-off and from which data is received. You can find the
MAC address on the Status and Statistics > Network Interface page.
• Encryption—The type of encryption to use on the WDS link. It does not have
to match the VAP that you are bridging. The WDS Encryption settings are
unique to the WDS bridge. The options are none, WEP, and WPA Personal.
If you are unconcerned about the security issues on the WDS link, you may
decide not to set any type of encryption. Alternatively, if you have security
concerns, you can choose between Static WEP and WPA Personal. In WPA
Personal mode, the WAP device uses WPA2-PSK with CCMP (AES)
encryption over the WDS link. See
WDS Links for more information about encryption options.
Repeat these steps for up to three additional WDS interfaces.
Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
Replicate this procedure on the other device or devices connecting to the bridge.
