Enter which type of topology management the WLC uses for the respective AutoWDS profile.
Due to the assignment of the WLAN profile by the WLC, the slave APs simultaneously receive information about the topology of the meshed network The topology results directly from the hierarchy of the P2P connections established between the APs. The two affected WLAN interfaces form a P2P pairing for this: The physical WLAN interface of the unassociated AP becomes the P2P slave; that of the selected anchor AP becomes the P2P master.
Normally, the WLC handles the automatic calculation of the topology, where a slave AP generally connects with the closest master AP. Calculated in real-time, the topology is recorded by the WLC in the status table AutoWDS-Auto-Topology (SNMP-ID 1.73.2.13). If you use semi-automatic or manual management, you define the static P2P links in the setup table AutoWDS-Topology. To achieve this, you specify the relationships between the individual master APs and slave APs in a similar manner to a normal P2P connection.
- SNMP ID:
- 2.37.1.15.8
- Console path:
- Setup > WLAN-Management > AP-Configuration > AutoWDS-Profiles
- Possible values:
- Automatic
- The WLC automatically generates a P2P configuration. The device ignores manually specified P2P links.
- Semi automatic
- The WLC only generates a P2P configuration if no manual P2P configuration exists for the unassociated AP. Otherwise the WLC uses the manual configuration.
- Manual
- The WLC does not automatically generate a P2P configuration. A manual P2P configuration is taken, if available. Otherwise, the WLC does not transmit a P2P configuration to the AP.
- Default:
- Automatic
