How to configure WDS for fat ap in point-to-point structure?

Introduction of bridge

a) Point-to-Point Structure

Since wireless devices are connected to each other, this structure is suitable for a network connecting two fixed points. The network topology is shown below:

b) Root Bridge + one Non-root Bridge

The wired interface of the root bridge is connected to the wired network, and its wireless interface is connected to the non-root bridge; The wireless interface of the non-root bridge is connected to the root bridge, and its wired interface is connected to the wired network; Two separate wired networks are connected in a wireless manner through the wireless bridging between the root bridge and the non-root bridge.

Case of configuration

a) Requirement

1) In FAT AP WDS scene, bridging WLAN need to be in OPEN authentication.

2) FAT AP can support 2 bridging ways, mac-address and ssid.The following configuration will take mac-address bridging for example.

3) In AP630 B8 version or later, it can support WDS encryption, but only RSN's and WPA's AES encryption.It doesn't support Tkip encryption.

4) If the distance of wireless transmission in WDS is over 1000m, you need to add a command:

interface Dot11radio 2/0

peer-distance 4000    //actual distance is 2000m

Please set the distance to a larger value (2-3 timesthe actual distance)

b) Network Topology

b) Configuration Steps

ROOT-AP:

1)    Create bridging VLAN

AP-1(config)#vlan 10

AP-1(config-vlan)#exit

2)    Configure bridging WLAN-ID

AP-1(config)#dot11 wlan 1

AP-1(dot11-wlan-config)#ssid ruijie-test

3)    Configure radio interface

AP-1(config)#interface dot11radio 2/0

AP-1(config-if-Dot11radio 2/0)#encapsulation dot1Q 10    //encapsulation vlan

AP-1(config-if-Dot11radio 2/0)#radio-type 802.11a    //set radio 5.8G

AP-1(config-if-Dot11radio 2/0)#channel 149    //setchannel 149

AP-1(config-if-Dot11radio 2/0)#chan-width 40

AP-1(config-if-Dot11radio 2/0)#station-role root-bridge bridge-wlan 1    //set ap as root-ap

AP-1(config-if-Dot11radio 2/0)#wlan-id 1    //SSID mapping

Check BSSID

AP-1#show dot11 mbssid

4)    Configure AP bvi interface

AP-1(config)#interface bvi 10

AP-1(config-if-BVI 10)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

5)    Configured inteface

AP-1(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 0/1

AP-1(config-if-GigabitEthernet 0/1)#encapsulation dot1Q 10

6)    Enable AP wireless broadcast

AP-1(config)#data-plane wireless-broadcast enable

7)    Configure ssid for coverage

AP-1(config)#dot1 wlan 2    //create WLAN

AP-1(dot11-wlan-config)#ssid ruijie-wds-test    //create ssid

AP-1(dot11-wlan-config)#exit

AP-1(config)#vlan20     //crea tVlan

AP-1(config-vlan)#exit

AP-1(config)#int dot11radio 1/0.1

AP-1(config-subif-Dot11radio 1/0.1)#encapsulation dot1Q 20       //configure radio interface encapsulation vlan

AP-1(config-subif-Dot11radio 1/0.1)#exit

AP-1(config)#int dot11radio 1/0

AP-1(config-if-Dot11radio 1/0)#wlan-id 2

Non-ROOT AP

1)    Creat bridging VLAN

AP-2(config)#vlan 10

AP-2(config-vlan)#exit

2)    Configure radio

AP-2(config)#interface dot11radio 2/0

AP-2(config-if-Dot11radio 2/0)#encapsulation dot1 Q10      //encapsulation vlan

AP-2(config-if-Dot11radio 2/0)#station-role non-root-bridge      //set AP role as non-root bridge

AP-2(config-if-Dot11radio 2/0)#parent mac-address 061a.a97f.1114      //set BSSID,and you can use "parent ssid xxxx" to match the SSID

3)    Configure AP interface BVI

AP-2(config)#interface bvI 10

AP-2(config-if-BVI 10)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

4)    Enable AP wirless broadcast

AP-2(config)#data-plane wireless-broadcast enable

5)    Configure ssid for coverate

AP-1(config)#dot1 wlan 2    //create WLAN

AP-1(dot11-wlan-config)#ssid ruijie-wds-test    //createssid

AP-1(dot11-wlan-config)#exit

AP-1(config)#vlan20    //creat Vlan

AP-1(config-vlan)#exit

AP-1(config)#int dot11radio 1/0.1

AP-1(config-subif-Dot11radio 1/0.1)#encapsulation dot1Q 20    //configure radio interface encapsulation vlan

AP-1(config-subif-Dot11radio 1/0.1)#exit

AP-1(config)#int dot11radio 1/0

AP-1(config-if-Dot11radio 1/0)#wlan-id 2

Verification

Check bridging state
