Can router be WDS controller?

Hello,

I heard that most of router has the ability of supporting WDS as being WDS controller.

If so, does it require special moudle(or code) to support this feature?

For example I have 2800 series router and two Aironet 1300 outdoor APs. What I wanted to do is to setup 2800 as WDS controller and 1300s to be peers.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

No it cannot. It can run wds, but not be the controller.

Here is the list of supported devices for a wds controller.

Aironet 1240 AG Series APs

Aironet 1230 AG Series APs

Aironet 1200 Series APs

Aironet 1130 AG Series APs

Aironet 1100 Series APs

Catalyst 6500 Series Wireless LAN Services Module (WLSM)
