WDS Configuration Guide

Introduction Prior to configuring your WDS scenario ensure that you know the root MAC addresses of all the

Arrays involved in your network. These addresses are extremely important in order to ensure smooth deployment. In order to get these MAC addresses, you will need to access each Array using a serial connection, telnet, SSH. Furthermore, ensure that in your deployment, the radios that will be used for WDS are on the same channel and facing at each other. The Host Array should be the only Array on the wired segment. If the Client Array is the device on the wired segment, you may run into a situation where you will no longer be able to manage the Client Array via Telnet, SSH and HTTPs.

When configuring WDS with factory restored Arrays, if there is no DHCP server present on the network, the GIG ports on both Arrays will fall back to 10.0.2.1 by defaults. If both Arrays fall back to the same IP address you may encounter inconsistencies while configuriyour Arrays. Set one Array GIG IP to an address other than the def10.0.2.1. For example use 10.0.2.3 for one and leave the second Array on 10.0.2.1.

Once logged into the Host Array, do the following: Xirrus Wi-Fi Array ArrayOS Version 3.2-0488 Copyright (c) 2005-2007 Xirrus, Inc. http://www.xirrus.com Username: admin Password: ***** HostArray# configure HostArray(config)# interface iap HostArray(config-iap)# wds HostArray(config-iap-wds)# show WDS Client Link Summary Table ======================================= Link State Max IAP Target Array Target SSID IAP(s) Channel(s) ---- ----- ------- ----------------- -------------------------------- --------------- --------------- 1 off 1 2 off 1 3 off 1 4 off 1 WDS Host Link Summary Table ======================================= Link State Num IAP Source Array Source SSID IAP(s) Channel(s) ---- ----- ------- ----------------- -------------------------------- --------------- --------------- 1 off 2 off 3 off 4 off This Array Address: 00:0f:7d:04:15:c0 HostArray(config-iap-wds)#

The MAC address for the Host Array is 00:0f:7d:04:15:c0 (remember that your root MAC address will differ than the ones specified in this document). Take note of this MAC address. You are only required to

Page 6: Xirrus WDS Configuration Guide - University Of Nigeria … · WDS Configuration Guide Xirrus WDS Configuration Guide Initial Creation Date: October 23, 2006 Author: Omar F. Tarzi

WDS Configuration Guide

do this on the Host Array. All Client Arrays will use this MAC address as a WDS Target MAC (This will be discussed later.)

WDS target addresses must end with 00, 40, 80, or c0. The following diagram will give you an understanding of how WDS links and Max IAP are to be perceived. The WDS Links are not bound to the 802.11a radios only, the Administrator can configure WDS Links on 802.11bg radios and can have a mix of 802.11a and 802.11bg WDS Links as well. This document describes the configuration of a 1 Link, 3 MAX IAP WDS scenario.

Configuring an OPEN WDS-link scenario: 1. Configure an SSID which will be used for your WDS link. Since the Array allows a maximum of 16 SSIDs, it is good practice (however not a requirement) not to allow wireless client associations on the WDS SSID. Create a different SSID for your service. In the configuration below, xirrus will be used as a service SSID for Wireless Devices and wds-link will be used for the WDS Link. In order to configure an SSID on the Host and Client Arrays, do the following on both:

Host Array SSID Configuration HostArray# configure HostArray(config)# ssid HostArray(config-ssid)# add wds-link encryption none broadcast enable HostArray(config-ssid)# show SSID Summary Table Authentication & Security Web Page SSID Name Encryption Settings VLAN Name Number QoS Band Broadcast DHCP Pool Redirect --------------- --------------------------- ------------------ --- ---- --------- ----------- -------- xirrus Open None Global - 2 Both On none Disabled wds-link Open None Global - 2 Both On none Disabled HostArray(config-ssid)#

2. Once your SSIDs have been configured, you will need to configure the WDS links. On the Client Array, do the following:

Client Array WDS Configuration ClientArray# configure ClientArray(config)# interface iap ClientArray(config-iap)# wds ClientArray(config-iap-wds)# client-link 1 target 00:0f:7d:04:15:c0 ssid wds-link max-iap 3 ClientArray(config-iap-wds)# client-link 1 on ClientArray(config-iap-wds)# show WDS Client Link Summary Table ======================================= Link State Max IAP Target Array Target SSID IAP(s) Channel(s) ---- ----- ------- ----------------- -------------------------------- --------------- --------------- 1 on 3 00:0f:7d:04:15:c0 wds-link 2 off 1 3 off 1 4 off 1 WDS Host Link Summary Table ======================================= Link State Num IAP Source Array Source SSID IAP(s) Channel(s) ---- ----- ------- ----------------- -------------------------------- --------------- --------------- 1 off 2 off 3 off 4 off This Array Address: 00:0f:7d:04:fd:80 ClientArray(config-iap-wds)#

3. On the Host and Client Arrays select 6 IAPs (3 IAPs on each Array) facing one another on the same channel and assign the WDS client-link number only on the Client Array. Do the following: On the Client Array:

Assigning WDS-Client-Links to IAPs ClientArray# configure ClientArray(config)# interface iap ClientArray(config-iap)# a1 wds-client-link 1 ClientArray(config-iap)# a12 wds-client-link 1 ClientArray(config-iap)# a11 wds-client-link 1 ClientArray(config-iap)# show IAP Summary Table Cell TX RX IAP State Channel Antenna Size Power Threshold Stations WDS MAC address / BSSID Description --------- ------- -------- ---------------------- -------- --- -------------------- ------------------------ a1 up 40 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 C-1 00:0f:7d:04:fe:10-11 a2 down 52 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 00:0f:7d:04:fe:30-31 a3 down 149 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 00:0f:7d:04:fe:40-41 a4 down 40 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 00:0f:7d:04:fe:50-51 a5 down 56 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 00:0f:7d:04:fe:70-71 a6 down 157 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 00:0f:7d:04:fd:80-81 a7 down 44 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 00:0f:7d:04:fd:90-91 a8 down 60 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 00:0f:7d:04:fd:b0-b1 a9 down 153 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 00:0f:7d:04:fd:c0-c1 a10 down 48 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 00:0f:7d:04:fd:d0-d1 a11 up 157 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 C-1 00:0f:7d:04:fd:f0-f1 a12 up 56 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 C-1 00:0f:7d:04:fe:00-01 abg1 down 1 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 00:0f:7d:04:fe:20-21 abg2 up monitor int-omni manual 20dBm -95dBm 0 00:0f:7d:04:fe:60-61 abg3 down 11 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 00:0f:7d:04:fd:a0-a1 abg4 down 6 int-dir max 20dBm -90dBm 0 00:0f:7d:04:fd:e0-e1 ClientArray(config-iap)#

4. Other than the SSID configuration, there is no WDS configuration required on the Host Array. In order to ensure that the WDS links are associated, two things can be done. View the WDS table or the station table, both are described below.

WDS table on the Host Array: HostArray# configure HostArray(config)# interface iap HostArray(config-iap)# wds HostArray(config-iap-wds)# show WDS Client Link Summary Table ======================================= Link State Max IAP Target Array Target SSID IAP(s) Channel(s) ---- ----- ------- ----------------- -------------------------------- --------------- --------------- 1 off 1 2 off 1 3 off 1 4 off 1 WDS Host Link Summary Table ======================================= Link State Num IAP Source Array Source SSID IAP(s) Channel(s) ---- ----- ------- ----------------- -------------------------------- --------------- --------------- 1 on 3 00:0f:7d:04:fd:80 wds-link a4 a5 a6 40 56 157 2 off 3 off 4 off This Array Address: 00:0f:7d:04:15:c0

WDS Configuration Guide

When configuring WPA and or WPA2 on the SSID which will be used for the WDS session, ensure that the Cipher (TKIP / AES) match on both the WDS Client and the WDS Host. If the Cipher does not match, the WDS link will never initialize.

Configuring a WPA-PEAP WDS-link scenario: When changing the security profile of your SSID to WPA-PEAP, the WDS configuration will remain the same except that you will have to specify a user name and password. Please continue with step 2-4 of the “Configuring an OPEN WDS-link scenario” section once your SSID has been configured on both the Client and Host Arrays. Remember that the Host Array requires no WDS configuration except for the SSID.

Configuring a WPA-PSK WDS client-link scenario: When changing the security profile of your SSID to WPA-PSK, the WDS configuration will remain the same except, you will have to specify a password. Please continue with step 2-4 of the “Configuring an OPEN WDS-link scenario” section. Configure your SSID on both the Client and Host Arrays. Remember that the Host Array does not require a WDS configuration, it only requires the SSID configuration.
