Configuring a Network with WDS-Managed APs
In this example, a company has a main building that houses most of the employees and contains all the
network infrastructure. The company has has acquired some additional office space in the building next door.
The network administrator has determined that the best and most cost-effective solution to allow employees
in the new building to connect to the network is to extend the WLAN to the new building by configuring the
network with WDS-Managed APs.
This example describes how to configure the WDS-Managed settings on the APs and switch involved in the
network shown in
.
