Wireless distribution systems (WDS) are configured using specific ports
on an 802.11b AP. To use 802.1x with WDS, you need to set the 802.1x
Security Mode to Mixed (WEP and 802.1x) and confirm that the 802.11b
APs communicating in the WDS share the same encryption key (Key 1).
See

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

for more information.

NOTE:
An 802.11a or 802.11b/g AP does not support WDS.
