Configuration Guide Configuring WDS
2 Configuring WDS
2.1 Overview
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a system enabling interconnection of multiple access points (APs) in wireless bridging
or relay mode to interconnect distributed networks and spread wireless signals.
WDS has two working modes: Root Bridge and Non-root Bridge.
In Root Bridge mode, the wired interfaces connect to wired networks, and the wireless interfaces are used as wireless
bridges to connect to those in Non-root Bridge mode.
In Non-root Bridge mode, the wired interfaces connect to wired networks, and the wireless interfaces are used as
wireless bridges to connect to those in Root Bridge mode.

Basic Concepts
Root Bridge
A root bridge is the root node in WDS bridging. It allows the access of a non-root bridge to establish WDS bridging.
Non-root Bridge
A non-root bridge is a non-root node in WDS bridging. It actively accesses the root bridge to establish WDS bridging based
on user configuration.
