The second WDS entry above specifies a WDS link from Site B as a virtual Access Point interface and like
the WDS link to Site A, we use a different Router IP address (169.254.5.X) than the default interface. Note
that this network address is also different to that used for the WDS link to Site A, so that these separate WDS
interfaces are not internally bridged. In addition, the WDS link to unit A, a routing rule is added to direct
traffic destined for the network address of unit C (192.168.6.x).
The third WDS entry above specifies the WDS link to Site D. In the example, Site D is part of the same
network structure as Site B; therefore, we wish to have the WDS interface link to Site D bridged with the
default interface. Because we don’t specify a router IP address for the third entry the XYR301-E automatically
bridges this interface with the default wireless interface.
So, in this example, Site B has a total of three IP addresses: 192.168.5.3 for the default interface; 169.254.0.3 for
the WDS link to Site A; and 169.254.5.3 for the WDS link to Site C. Note: We choose to always use the same
host
address of 3 for unit B on all of its interfaces regardless of the network address.
The routing rules for unit B are shown above.
The routing rule for directing traffic to unit A can be seen to specify 192.168.0.0 as the destination address
(the
network
address of unit A) – because the last byte is zero, this refers to a route to the
network
192.168.0.X
(as opposed to a route to an individual
host
). The same rule specifies the address 169.254.0.2 as the gateway
address (this is the WDS Router IP address that Site A has been configured with for its WDS link to Site B).
So, this routing rule effectively tells the XYR301-E that any traffic destined for the network 192.168.0.X
should be forwarded to unit A via WDS link address 169.254.0.2.
Also the routing rule for directing traffic to unit C will be similar except the Destinations IP address will be
192.168.6.0 with a Netmask of 255.255.255.0, indicating all traffic for the 192.168.6.X network will be routed
trough the WDS link address 169.254.5.4. This is the WDS Router IP address that Site C has been configured
with for its WDS link to Site B).
Units A and C would also require similar pairs of routing rules to direct traffic to the network addresses at the end
points of their respective WDS links. Refer to section 3.17 “Routing Rules” for further information on routing rules.
The WDS Configuration page (as seen above) is accessible from the “Repeaters” link on any of the configuration web
pages. The configurable WDS parameters are summarized below.
Add Entry
Add an entry to the WDS Connections table. This adds a virtual station to the device.
Delete Entry
Delete the currently selected entry in the WDS Connections table. To select a row, click
anywhere in the row with the mouse, to highlight the entire row.
