Router Neighbour

• ssid = wds-test

• IP Address = 192.168.0.1

• Network Mask = 255.255.255.0

Router Home configuration.

At first we should configure the wireless interface for router Home:

[admin@Home] interface wireless> set wlan1 mode=ap-bridge ssid=wds-test \

\... wds-mode=static disabled=no

[admin@Home] interface wireless> print

Flags: X - disabled, R - running

0 name="wlan1" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:01:24:70:3A:83 arp=enabled

disable-running-check=no interface-type=Atheros AR5211 mode=ap-bridge

ssid="wds-test" frequency=5120 band=5GHz scan-list=default-ism

supported-rates-a/g=6Mbps,9Mbps,12Mbps,18Mbps,24Mbps,36Mbps,48Mbps,

54Mbps

basic-rates-a/g=6Mbps supported-rates-b=1Mbps,2Mbps,5.5Mbps,11Mbps

basic-rates-b=1Mbps max-station-count=2007 ack-timeout=default

tx-power=default noise-floor-threshold=default wds-mode=static

wds-default-bridge=none default-authentication=yes

default-forwarding=yes hide-ssid=no 802.1x-mode=none

[admin@Home] interface wireless>

We should add and configure a WDS interface. Note that the value of wds-address is the remote

wds host's wireless interface MAC address (to which we will connect to):

[admin@Home] interface wireless wds> add wds-address=00:01:24:70:3B:AE \

\... master-inteface=wlan1 disabled=no

[admin@Home] interface wireless wds> print

Flags: X - disabled, R - running, D - dynamic

0 name="wds1" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:01:24:70:3A:83 arp=enabled

disable-running-check=no master-inteface=wlan1

wds-address=00:01:24:70:3B:AE

[admin@Home] interface wireless wds>

Add the IP address to the WDS interface:

[admin@Home] ip address> add address=192.168.25.2/24 interface=wds1

[admin@Home] ip address> print

Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic

# ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE

0 192.168.25.2/24 192.168.25.0 192.168.25.255 wds1

[admin@Home] ip address>

Router Neighbour configuration.

At first we should configure the wireless interface for router Neighbour:

[admin@Neighbour] interface wireless> set wlan1 mode=ap-bridge ssid=wds-test ../

../ wds-mode=static disabled=no

[admin@Neighbour] interface wireless> print

Flags: X - disabled, R - running

0 R name="wlan1" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:01:24:70:3B:AE arp=enabled
