Example of a WDS Deployment
This example shows you how to create WDS wireless links between physically separate
network segments.
General Information
The following is assumed for the example provided:
•
For initial configuration, R110 #1, R110 #2, R110 #3, and R110 #4 are all placed at the
same location, such as on a desktop, where they are not connected to any network. After
completing configuration of all routers, R110 #1 is installed on the main network. After
configuration, R110 #2, R110 #3, and R110 #4 serve remote networks.
•
For configuration, HP recommends making a wired connection from a computer directly to
each router, one at a time.
•
R110 #1 is configured in Router mode and its DHCP server is enabled. R110 #2, R110 #3,
and R110 #4 are in Bridge mode with their DHCP servers disabled.
•
HP recommends to preconfigure each router with a static IP address following the
instructions provided in the
HP R100-Series Wireless VPN Routers Quickstart .
The IP address of each router is required to launch the web-based management interface to
configure each router.
•
After WDS configuration, routers can be set for static or dynamic IP address assignment
before installation at their intended locations.
