Configuration guidelines
Note the following guidelines when you configure WDS:
• Configure a neighbor MAC address for each radio interface (otherwise, WDS links may be set up
between AP 2, AP 3, and AP 4).
• Set the maximum number of WDS links allowed. The default value is 2. It must be set to 3 for AP 1
in this example.
Repeater mode configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 372 :
AP1 connects to the wired network. The AP acting as a repeater needs to set up a WDS link with AP 1.
At the same time, the repeater needs to provide wireless access service for clients.
• Use the 802.11n (2.4 GHz) radio to set up a WDS link between AP 1 and the repeater.
• Use the 802.11n (2.4 GHz) radio to connect clients to the repeater.
• The access service and WDS link must use the same channel. In this example, channel 11 in 802.11n
(2.4 GHz) radio mode is used as the working channel.
• Configure WDS on AP 1. For the detailed configuration procedure, see " Configuring AP 1 ."
• Configure WDS and access service on the repeater.
