Guidelines
Here are the guidelines for WDS bridges:
A WDS bridge may have from two to four wireless access points.
You may use either the 2.4 or 5 GHz radios in the access points to
create a WDS bridge.
You may use static WEP or WPA Personal encryption to guard the
data in the wireless links between the access points.
A WDS bridge can have either AT-TQ2450 or AT-TQ3600 Access
Points. A WDS bridge cannot have both models.
The WDS bridge feature on the AT-TQ2450 and AT-TQ3600
Access Points is not compatible with the same feature on other
products from Allied Telesis or other companies.
The radios of the access points of a WDS bridge have to be set to
the same mode and channel.
If you use the 5 GHz radio to create the bridge, Allied Telesis
recommends selecting the common channel for the bridge from the
W52 band (channels 5180, 5200, 5220, and 5240 MHz). This is to
minimize the chance that the access point, which supports
dynamic frequency selection, has to change channels and break
the WDS bridge due to radar signals.
You may not create a loop in a WDS bridge. The MAC address of
an access point can be represented only once in the MAC address
tables of other devices.
There can be only one WDS bridge between two access points.
The access points of a WDS bridge use VAP0 as the
communications link. The VAP should not be used by wireless
clients.
You may not combine the WDS bridge and cluster features on the
same access points.
