Important
Note that the data is transferred between the access points in unencrypted form over
the WDS link in the default configuration. You are therefore urgently advised to apply
one of the available security methods (WEP40 or WEP104) to protect data on WDS
links.
WDS links are configured as interfaces with the prefix
wds
. They behave like VSS interface
and only differ from these with respect to the predefined routing. A WDS link is defined as a
transit network: this relates to a point-to-point connection or point-to-multipoint connection
between two access points that are included in different networks.
