ToconfigureaWDSmanagedgroupanditslinks,usethefollowinggeneralsteps:

1. ConfigurethesatelliteAPsbyconnectingtotheAPmanagementinterfacewhiletheAPisinst

and‐alone

mode.SettheWDSManagedModetoSatelliteAPandconfiguretheWDSGroupPassword.

2. FromtheswitchCLIorweb‐basedinterface,createaWDSgroup.

3. ConfiguretheWDSgrouppassword.Thepasswordyouconfigure ontheswitchshouldbethesameasthe

passwordyouconfigureonea

chsatelliteAP.

4. AddtheMACaddressofeachAPtotheWDSgroup.

5. ConfiguretheWDSlinksbyspecifyingtheMACaddressandradiooftheAPoneachendofthelink.

KeepthefollowingconsiderationsinmindwhenyouconfigureandmanageaWDSgroup:

•Makesurethera

diosthatparticipateintheWDSlinkusethesamechannel.Useoneofthefollowing

methodstocontrolthechannel:

–WhenyouconfigurethesatelliteAPinstand‐alonemode,usetheRadiopagetosetastaticchannel.

–WhenyouconfiguretheAPintheValidAPdatabase,specifythechanneltha

ttheradiomustuse.By

default,thechannelissettoAuto.

–OntheRadiopagefortheAPprofile,selectonlyonechannelinthelistofAutoEligiblechannels.By

default,multiplechannelsareenabled.

•D‐LinkrecommendsthatsatelliteAPsdonothavewiredconnectivitytothewir

•AconfigurationpushtoWDSAPsmaytakeuptothreeminutestocomplete.

Caution!CertaintopologiesforWDSmanagedAPscanresultinunpredictablebehavior.Forexample,

ifasatelliteAPhastheEthernetportenabledandhasawiredconnectiontoaswitchthatmanages

thesameWDSgroup,thesatelliteAPcannotdeterminewhichpathtoestablishamanagement

connectiononbecausesp

aconnectiontothemanagedswitchonlyovertheair.Otherwise, itisconsideredarootAP(ifitispart
