To enable a WDS link:
3. Specify the MAC address of the AP or bridge at the other end of the WDS
link.
4. Select the corresponding Enabled check box.
For example, assume you want two SMC2586W-Gs with MAC addresses 00-
02-65-01-62-C5 and 00-02-65-01-62-C6 to establish a WDS link between
them. On SMC2586W-G 00-02-65-01-62-C5, set the peer MAC address of
port 1 to 00-02-65-01-62-C6 and on SMC2586W-G 00-02-65-01-62-C6, set
the peer MAC address of port 1 to 00-02-65-01-C5.
TIP: Plan your wireless network and draw a diagram, so that you know how
an AP is con-nected to other peer APs or wireless bridges by WDS.
TIP: Plan your wireless network and draw a diagram, so that you know how a
bridge is con-nected to other peer bridges by WDS. See the following figure
for an example network-planning diagram.
