Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) creates a link between two 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11b/g APs over their radio interfaces. This link relays traffic from one AP that does not have Ethernet connectivity to a second AP that has Ethernet connectivity. WDS allows you to configure up to six (6) ports per radio, or up to 12 ports on the AP-4000/4000M/4900M.

In the WDS example below, AP 1 and AP 2 communicate over a WDS link (represented by the blue line). This link provides Client 2 with access to network resources even though AP 2 is not directly connected to the Ethernet network. Packets destined for or sent by the client are relayed between the Access Points over the WDS link.
