Dedicated WDS

[Bob Bagheri]

How do I setup a dedicated WDS AP? When I tell my WDS AP to "not participate in SWAN", it stops sending authentication requests to my CSACS appliance? My goal is to have my WDS AP no handle client connection requests.

Thanks,

I do not understand your second question "My goal is to have my WDS AP no handle client connection requests." WDS AP always handle client connection requests. It is our design and there is no way around it.

Thank you for the reply.

I think what he is referring to is that he doesn't want the Access Point to handle radio clients, rather be the dedicated WDS server that will handle 60 WDS clients.

Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I have configured in the past, if you leave the radio on, your AP can support 30 WDS clients as well as handle radio traffic. And with the radio turned off, the AP can handle 60 WDS clients and no radio traffic.

Yes, that is exactly what I am asking. Your answer leads me to anonther question. Does a dedicated WDS with the radio turned off have the capabilities needed to pull radio information from other AP's and send it to WLSE?
