To configure the WDS as illustrated in Figure 11-10 with a single WDS VNS, you must assign
the roles, preferred parents and backup parents to the Wireless APs according to Table 11-1.
Note:
Since the Root Wireless APs — Ardal, Arthur, Athens and Auberon —are the highest entities in the tree
structure, they do not have parents. Therefore, the Preferred Parent and Backup Parent drop-down lists of
the Root Wireless APs do not display any Wireless AP. You must leave these two fields blank.
Note:
You must first assign the ‘parent’ role to the Wireless APs that will serve as the parents. Unless this is done,
the Parent Wireless APs will not be displayed in the Preferred Parent and Backup Parent drop-down lists of
other Wireless APs.
Note:
The WDS Bridge feature on the user interface relates to WDS Bridge configuration. When you are
configuring the WDS Bridge topology, you must select WDS Bridge for Satellite Wireless AP that is
connected to the wired network. For more information, see “Wireless Bridge Configuration” on page 11-3.

Auberon, click Parent.
