Field Description
Radio The Gateway 7001 AP is available in a dual band and single band version.
Single-Band AP :
On the single band version of the Gateway® 7001 AP, this box is not included
on the WDS tab.
Dual-Band AP :
For each WDS link on a dual-band AP, select Radio One or Radio Two. The
rest of the settings for the link apply to the radio selected in this box. The
read-only “Local Address” will change depending on which Radio you select
here.
Local Address Indicates the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses for this access point.
A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device
that represents an interface to the network. The MAC address is assigned
by the manufacturer.
You cannot change the MAC address. It is provided here for informational
purposes as a unique identifier for the access point or interface.
Single-Band AP :
On the single band version of the Gateway® 7001 AP, a single MAC address
is shown at the top of the WDS settings page. The address shown for the
single-band radio is the MAC address for the bridge (br0). This is the address
by which the AP is known externally to other networks.
Dual-Band AP :
For each WDS link on a dual-band AP, the Local Address reflects the MAC
address for the internal interface on the selected radio (Radio One on
WLAN0 or Radio Two WLAN1).
Remote Address Specify the MAC address of the destination access point, that is, the access
point to which data will be sent or “handed-off” and from which data will be
received.
Bridge with The Gateway 7001 Series self-managed AP provides the capability of setting
up guest and internal networks on the same access point. (See
“Setting up
Guest Access” on page 99 .)
The guest network typically provides internet access but isolates guest
clients from more sensitive areas of your internal network. It is common to
have security disabled on the guest network to provide open access.
Alternatively, the internal network provides full access to protected
information behind a firewall and requires secure logins or certificates for
access.
When using WDS to link up one access point to another, you need to identify
within which of these networks you want the data exchange to occur.
Specify the network to which you want to bridge this access point:
• Internal Network
• Guest Network
