8.1.3 WDS Bridge



Unlike traditional bridging. WDS Bridge Mode allows you to create large wireless networks by

linking several wireless access points with WDS links. WDS is normally used in large, open

areas, where pulling wires is cost prohibitive, restricted or physically impossible.



The following figure shows an example of three OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS configured for WDS

Bridge Mode communicating with each other. In this configuration, the OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS

device on the left side of the figure behaves as a standard bridge that forwards traffic

between the WDS links (links that connect to other OM2P-LC/OM2P-HS WDS bridges).



The sections that follow the figure below describe how to configure your OM2P-

LC/OM2P-HS for WDS Bridge Mode.
