--rmac1 <MACaddress>
--rmac2 <MACaddress>
--rmac3 <MACaddress>
--rmac4 <MACaddress>
Description: set remote bridge MAC address
Note: The “--restrict” option have to be enable before setting any restrict MAC address (--rmac1~4) or the restrict MAC address setting
will be ignored.
The behavior of WDS is similar to connecting two or more AP using a hub. However, please be aware of the IP assignment to
prevent assigning two or more hosts / STAs to the same IP address. To avoid IP address conflict, only enable DHCP server in one
router and disable the other router DHCP server.
WDS CLI (command line interface) does NOT support Enable(Scan) mode in Bridge Restrict while using WUI (Web UI) does. When
Bridge Restrict set to Enable(Scan) mode in WUI, the CLI will show Bridge Restrict disabled.
Example 4:
After example 3, the user want to connect another AP which has DHCP disabled and the MAC address is
00:12:34:56:78:9a
wlan wds --mode wds --restrict enabled --rmac1 00:12:34:56:78:9a
