Personal mode, the WAP device uses WPA2-PSK with CCMP (AES)
encryption over the WDS link. See WEP on WDS Links or WPA/PSK on
WDS Links following this procedure for more information about encryption
options.
STEP 5 Repeat these steps for up to three additional WDS interfaces.
STEP 6 Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
STEP 7 Replicate this procedure on the other device or devices connecting to the bridge.

CAUTION After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and
restarted. When this happens, the WAP device may lose connectivity. We
recommend that you change WAP device settings when a loss of connectivity will
least affect your wireless clients.
WEP on WDS Links
These additional fields appear when you select WEP as the encryption type.
• Key Length—If WEP is enabled, specify the length of the WEP key as
64 bits or 128 bits.
• Key Type—If WEP is enabled, specify the WEP key type: ASCII or Hex.
• WEP Key—If you selected ASCII, enter any combination of 0 to 9, a to z,
and A to Z. If you selected Hex, enter hexadecimal digits (any combination
of 0 to 9 and a to f or A to F). These are the RC4 encryption keys shared with
the stations using the WAP device.
