Multiple WDS links can provide link redundancy (failover capability - see
Figure 24
). A network protocol (Spanning Tree Protocol—STP) prevents
Arrays from forming network loops.
Figure 24. WDS Failover Protection
WDS links have a Host/Client relationship similar to the usual IAP/station
pattern for Arrays:
z
A
WDS Client Link
associates/authenticates to a host (target) Array in the
same way that a station associates to an IAP. The client side of the link
must be configured with the root MAC address of the target (host) Array.
z
A
WDS Host Link
acts like an IAP by allowing one WDS Client Link to
associate to it. An Array may have both client and host links.
WDS configuration is performed only on the client-side Array. See
“WDS” on
page 229
. Note that both Arrays must be configured with the same SSID name.
