This table shows a quick view of WDS commands and links to detailed examples.
Configuring a WDS Link
To set up a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) link between two wireless networks:
1. Enable the WDS interface (wlan0wds0) on the current access point:
USR5453-AP# set interface wlan0wds0 status up
USR5453-AP# set interface wlan0wds0 radio wlan0
2. Provide the MAC address of the remote access point to which you want to link:
USR5453-AP# set interface wlan0wds0 remote-mac MAC_Address_Of_Remote_AP
For example:
USR5453-AP# set interface wlan0wds0 remote-mac 00:E0:B8:76:1B:14
Getting Details on a WDS Configuration
Verify the configuration of the WDS link you just configured by getting details on the WDS interface:
USR5453-AP# get interface wlan0wds0 detail

Note
Before configuring this feature, make sure you are familiar with the names of the interfaces as
described in
“Understanding Interfaces as Presented in the CLI” on page 190
. The interface name you
reference in a command determines whether a setting applies to a wired or wireless interface or to the
Internal or Guest network.
