Configuring WDS, Fast Secure Roaming, Radio Management, and Wireless Intrusion Detection Services Chapter 13
Configuration Overview
You must complete three major steps to set up WDS and fast, secure roaming:
1. Configure access points, ISRs, or switches as potential WDS devices. This
chapter provides instructions for configuring an access point as a WDS
device. For instructions on configuring WDS on a switch equipped with a
Wireless LAN Services Module (WLSM),
See the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Wireless LAN Services Module
(WLSM) Deployment Guide .
2. Configure the rest of your access points to use the WDS device.
3. Configure the authentication server on your network to authenticate the
WDS device and the access points that use the WDS device.
This figure shows the required configuration for each device that participates in
WDS.
