Chapter 13 Configuring WDS, Fast Secure Roaming, Radio Management, and Wireless Intrusion Detection Services
The WDS access point candidate with the highest number in the priority
field becomes the acting WDS access point. For example, if one WDS
candidate is assigned priority 255 and one candidate is assigned priority
100, the candidate with priority 255 becomes the acting WDS access
point.
6. (Optional) Check Use Local MAC List for Client Authentication.
This authenticates client devices by using MAC addresses in the local list
of addresses configured on the WDS device. If you don’t check this check
box, the WDS device uses the server specified for MAC-address
authentication on the Server Groups page to authenticate clients based on
MAC addresses.
7. (Optional) If you use a Wireless LAN Solutions Engine (WLSE) on your
network:
a. Check the Configure Wireless Network Manager check box.
b. Enter the IP address of the WLSE device in the Wireless Network
Manager IP Address field.
The WDS access point collects radio measurement information from
access points and client devices and sends the aggregated data to the
WLSE device.
8. Click Apply.
9. Go to the WDS Server Groups page, click Server Groups.
TIP Selecting the Use Local MAC List for Client Authentication check box does not
force client devices to perform MAC-based authentication. It provides a local
alternative to server-based MAC-address authentication.
