Each access point radio interface can be configured to operate as a bridge,
which allows it to forward traffic directly to other access point units. To set

Distribution System (WDS) forwarding table by specifying the wireless MAC
address of all units to which you want to forward traffic. Up to six WDS
bridge links can be specified for each unit in the wireless bridge network.
