WDS Managed AP Configuration

After you create a WDS-Managed AP group, use the WDS Managed AP Configuration page to view the APs
that are members of the group, add new members, and change Priority values for existing members.
Note: After you change WDS-Managed AP group settings, make sure you push the configuration to
other switches in the cluster.
The following table shows the fields available on the WDS Managed AP Summary page.
Field Description
WDS Group ID Select the ID associated with the group to configure.
AP MAC Address MAC Address of the AP.
AP Hardware Type The hardware type for the AP.
Priority Spanning Tree Priority for this AP. The priority is used only when spanning tree mode
is enabled.
The priority determines which AP is selected as the root of the spanning tree and
which AP has preference over another AP when multiple equal cost paths exist in the
topology. The lower value for the spanning tree priority means that the AP is more
likely to be used for bridging data into the campus network. You should assign a lower
priority to the APs connected to the wired network than to the satellite APs.
The priority value is rounded down to a multiple of 4096. The range is 0 – 61440, and
the default value is 36864.
Command Buttons
The page includes the following buttons:
• Add—Allows you to configure a new AP for the selected group. When you click Add, the WDS Managed
AP Group Configuration page displays.
• Submit—Select the checkbox associated with an AP to modify the Priority value for the AP. Click Apply to
update the switch with the values you enter.
• Delete— Deletes the selected AP.
• Refresh—Updates the page with the latest information.
