Configuring Access Points to use the WDS Device
Follow these steps to configure an access point to authenticate through the WDS device and participate
in WDS:
Note To participate in WDS, infrastructure access points should run the same version of IOS as the one that
WDS runs.
Step 1 Choose Wireless > AP. The Wireless Services AP page appears.
Figure 12-5 Wireless Services AP page
Step 2
Click Enable for the Participate in SWAN Infrastructure setting, to enable the AP to use the WDS
service for client authentication.
Step 3 (Optional) Select Specified Discovery and enter the IP address of the WDS in the entry field. When you
enable Specified Discovery, the access point immediately authenticates with the WDS device instead of
waiting for WDS advertisements. If the WDS device that you specify does not respond, the access point
waits for WDS advertisements.
Step 4 In the Username field, enter a username for the access point. This username must match the username
that you create for the access point on your authentication server.
