Configuring WDS
Step 5 In the Wireless Domain Services Priority field, enter a priority number from 1 to 255 to set the priority
of this WDS candidate. The WDS access point candidate with the highest number in the priority field
becomes the acting WDS access point. For example, if one WDS candidate is assigned priority 255 and
one candidate is assigned priority 100, the candidate with priority 255 becomes the acting WDS access
point.
Step 6 (Optional) Select the Use Local MAC List for Client Authentication check box to authenticate client
devices using MAC addresses in the local list of addresses configured on the WDS device. If you do not
select this check box, the WDS device uses the server specified for MAC-address authentication on the
Server Groups page to authenticate clients based on MAC addresses.
Note Selecting the Use Local MAC List for Client Authentication check box does not force client
devices to perform MAC-based authentication. It provides a local alternative to server-based
MAC-address authentication.
Step 7 (Optional) If you use a Wireless LAN Solutions Engine (WLSE) on your network, check the Configure
Wireless Network Manager check box and enter the IP address of the WLSE device in the Wireless
Network Manager IP Address field. The WDS access point collects radio measurement information
from access points and client devices and sends the aggregated data to the WLSE device.
Step 8 Click Apply.
Step 9 Click Server Groups to browse to the WDS Server Groups page. Figure 12-7 shows the WDS Server
Groups page.
