Path: Status > Wireless Information > WDS Groups Status > WDS Groups Status
The Wireless Distribution System (WDS)-Managed AP feature allows you to add managed APs to the cluster
using over-the-air WDS links through other managed APs. With WDS, APs may be located outdoors where wired
connection to the data network is unavailable, or in remote buildings that are not connected to the main campus
with a wired network.
The WDS AP group consists of the following managed APs:
• Root AP: Acts as a bridge or repeater on the wireless medium and communicates with the controller
via the wired link
• Satellite AP: Communicates with the controller via a WDS link to the Root AP
The WDS links are secured using WPA2 Personal authentication and AES encryption.
This page displays summary information about configured WDS links. At least one group must be configured for
the fields to display. To configure a WDS AP group, use the pages from Wireless > Access Point > WDS Groups.
