10.3.1.5 WDS

Wireless Distribution System or WDS security is used between bridged APs. It is independent of the

security between the wired networks and their respective APs. If you do not enable WDS security,

traffic between APs is not encrypted. When WDS security is enabled, both APs must use the same

pre-shared key.
