Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To connect an AP to an AC through WDS links, use this command to set the WDS mode for an AP radio based on the location of the AP on a WDS network.

In the downlink direction, a root node can connect to a middle or leaf node, and a middle node can connect to a leaf node. A leaf node is the termination node of a WDS link.

Precautions

After changing the WDS mode in a WDS profile, reset the APs using the profile to make the changed WDS mode take effect.

Example

# Create the WDS profile test and set the WDS mode of the profile to middle.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] wds-profile name test
[HUAWEI-wlan-wds-prof-test] wds-mode middle
