Chapter 13

This password must match the password that you create for the access
point on your authentication server.

7. Click Apply.

The access points that you configure to interact with the WDS automatically
perform these steps:

Discover and track the current WDS device and relay WDS

advertisements to the wireless LAN.

Authenticate with the WDS device and establish a secure communication

channel to the WDS device.

Register associated client devices with the WDS device.

CLI Configuration Example

This example shows the CLI commands that are equivalent to the steps listed in
the

Configuring Access Points to Use the WDS Device on page 390

:

AP# configure terminal

AP(config)# wlccp ap username APWestWing password 7

wes7win8

AP(config)# end

In this example, the access point is enabled to interact with the WDS device, and
it authenticates to your authentication server by using APWestWing as its
username and wes7win8 as its password. You must configure the same username
and password pair when you set up the access point as a client on your
authentication server.

For complete descriptions of the commands used in this example, see the

Cisco

IOS Command Reference for Cisco Aironet Access Points and Bridges Guide

Configuring WDS-Only Mode

WDS access points can operate in WDS-only mode by using the

wlccp wds

mode wds-only

command. After issuing this command and reloading, the

access point starts working in the WDS-only mode.

In WDS-only mode, the dot11 subsystems are not initialized and the

dot11 interface related commands cannot be configured.

In WDS-only mode, the WDS supports up to 60 infrastructure access

points and up to 1200 clients. Use the

no

form of this command to turn

off WDS-only mode. Use the

show wlccp wds

command to display the

working mode of the WDS access point.
