the parent Wireless AP.
If the Wireless AP will be serving both as parent and child, you must select
both as its role.
To configure the WDS as illustrated in Figure 19 with a single WDS VNS, you
must assign the roles, preferred parents and backup parents to the Wireless
APs according to the following table:
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.
