CHAPTER 6: COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
When the access point is operating in this mode, traffic is not forwarded
to the Ethernet port from the radio interface.
• Up to four WDS bridge links (MAC addresses) per radio interface can be
specified for each unit in the wireless bridge network. One unit only must
be configured as the “root bridge” in the wireless network. The root
bridge is the unit connected to the main core of the wired LAN. Other
bridges need to specify one “Parent” link to the root bridge or to a bridge
connected to the root bridge. The other seven WDS links are available as
“Child” links to other bridges.
• The bridge link on the radio interface always uses the default VAP
interface. In any bridge mode, VAP interfaces 1 to 7 are not available for
use.
Example
bridge channel-auto-sync
This command allows a child bridge to automatically find the operating channel
of its parent bridge.
Syntax
bridge channel-auto-sync <enable | disable>
• enable - The bridge will automatically search and find the operating
channel of its parent.
• disable - The bridge must have the operating channel manually set to the
operating channel of its parent bridge.
Default Setting
Disabled
