Default Value: N/A

Resets State Machine After Command: No

This command enables or disables 4 address parsing on the device. For Stations, enabling 4 address parsing results in the station passing up any packet received in a 4 address from to the network layer. Also, any unicast packet not destined for the AP which is passed to the station by the network layer will be sent in 4 address mode. For APs, enabling 4 address parsing will result in the AP forwarding packets to any MAC address from which it has received a 4 address packet. Passing a value of 1 will enable 4 address parsing. Passing a value of 0 will disable 4 address parsing.

Example:The following command enables 4 address parsing on ath0:

myprompt# iwpriv ath0 wds 1
