Configuration Guide Configuring WDS
2.4.1 Configuring WDS Basic Functions
Configuration Effect
 Configure WDS bridging.
Notes
 In WDS application environments, the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) function must be enabled to prevent
potential network loops.
 Meanwhile, the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) agent must be disabled.
 The WDS configuration commands can be used for bridging establishment only. They must collaborate with other
commands to build a test environment, such as the commands for BBS creation or wireless interface configuration.
 In WDS, the fit APs need to support Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) by Bridge-Group
Virtual Interface (BVI) by default.
Configuration Steps
 Configuring a Root Bridge
 Mandatory.
 Configure bridge coverage on APs for fat APs.
 Run the station-role root-bridge bridge-wlan wlan-id command to configure an AP working in the mode of WDS
bridging.
 Specify a WLAN to bridge BSSs. If the WLAN has not been created, WDS bridging cannot work.

 On a non-root bridge, you must specify a radio to work in the Non-root Bridge mode.
 Run the station-role non-root-bridge command to configure an AP working in the Non-root Bridge mode of WDS
bridging.
 A non-root bridge starts to establish and process WDS bridging only after a destination root bridge is specified.
