Configuring Wireless Distribution System Links
You can extend the wireless network across multiple access points, or connect the networks behind
different access points, by creating a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). To create a WDS, you must add
WDS links between the desired access points.
For more information on WDS links, see Overview on page 189.
Note:
While WDS links can have different security settings, all WDS links inherit the
following wireless settings from the primary WLAN:
Country
Operation Mode
Channel
Transmission Rate
Transmitter Power
Antenna Selection
For information on configuring these settings in the primary WLAN, see Manually
Configuring a Wireless Network on page 199.
Note:
To enable WDS links, you must first enable the primary WLAN network. If you
disable the primary WLAN network, all WDS links are automatically disabled.
The procedure below explains how to add or edit a WDS link. For information on deleting a WDS link, see
Deleting VLANs on page 133.
