MAC Address – The physical layer address of the wireless bridge
unit at the other end of the wireless link. (12 hexadecimal digits in
the form “xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx”)
Port Status – Enables or disables the wireless bridge link.
Note: The Ethernet MAC address for each bridge unit is printed on the
label on the back of the unit.
CLI Commands for WDS – The following example shows how to
configure the MAC address of the wireless bridge at the opposite
end of a point-to-point link, and then enable forwarding on the
link.
Bridge
The wireless bridge can store the MAC addresses for all known
devices in the connected networks. All the addresses are learned
by monitoring traffic received by the wireless bridge and are
stored in a dynamic MAC address table. This information is then
used to forward traffic directly between the Ethernet port and the
corresponding wireless interface.
The Bridging page allows the MAC address aging time to be set
for both the Ethernet port and the bridge radio interface. If the
MAC address of an entry in the address table is not seen on the
associated interface for longer than the aging time, the entry is
discarded.
AP(config)#wds mac-address 1 00-12-34-56-78-9a 7-62
AP(config)#wds enable 7-63
AP(config)#exit
AP#show wds 7-64
