Simple LAN WDS configuration
Objective
Connect 3 LAN using 2 GW2347 and 1 GW2348 and they will be transparent for the diferent Ethernet subnets.
GW2347_0 - - - - - GW2348 - - - - - - GW2347_1 | | | LAN LAN LAN
Will support Spaning tree protocol to alow the case when GW2347's were in the same Ethernet segment. This case:
GW2347_0 - - - - - GW2348 | | GW2347_1 - - - - - - -
Definitions
The 3 LAN's are in the same IP subnet 10.1.1.0/24 (for example).
The GW234x management IP will be in 192.168.5.0/24 (for example).
All the GW234x has Winstron CM9 miniPCI cards into them.
Names of GW234x devices will be:
acbr51 with 192.168.2.51 for the GW2347_0
acbr52 with 192.168.2.52 for the GW2348
acbr53 with 192.168.2.53 for the GW2347_1
Prerequisites
All GW234x devices are with factory defaults configuration (all has their nvram erased using RedBoot commands).
Configuring the devices
I only coment the parameters I changed or if the parameter value is important for our purpose.
