Hi, WDS communicates over the network using the Wireless LAN Context Control Protocol (WLCCP). This protocol uses the multicast destination address 01:40:96:ff:ff:c0 for advertisement and discovery of the WDS master. Once the master is discovered by WDS clients, then unicast UDP sessions are created over port 2887 to authenticate the WDS client and exchange information. Alternatively, the WDS master IP address may be configured statically in the WDS client if the master is not on the same subnet or if multicast routing is not enabled.
