in the link. When the client link is created, each member IAP will associate to a
radio on the host AP.
You may wish to consider configuring the WDS link IAPs so that only the WDS
link SSIDs are active on them. See “Active IAPs” on page 297.
Figure 186. Configuring a WDS Link
Once some IAP has been selected to act as a WDS client link, you will not be
allowed to use auto-configured cell sizing on that IAP (since the cell must
extend all the way to the other AP).
When configuring WDS, if you use WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) as a
security mechanism, ensure that EAP is disabled. Communication between
two APs in WDS mode will not succeed if the client AP has both PSK and
EAP enabled on the SSID used by WDS. See SSID Management.
TKIP encryption does not support high throughput rates, per IEEE 802.11n.
TKIP should never be used for WDS links on APs.
WDS is available on most Xirrus APs, including models with two radios
(WDS will operate on either of the radios). If WDS is not available, the
settings are grayed out or not shown.
