Figure 3 Access Point-Based WDS Solution
In the access point-based WDS solution, infrastructure access points discover the WDS via special WLCCP multicast messages. You must have an access point running WDS on each Layer 2 subnet. The solution supports up to 30 infrastructure access points when the WDS-host access point is also serving wireless clients and up to 60 infrastructure access points when the WDS-host access point is not serving wireless clients. The access point-based WDS solution facilitates seamless MN roaming across a Layer 2 WLAN control context.
Figure 4 shows the switch-based WDS solution.
