Configuring Repeater and Standby Access Points and Workgroup Bridge Mode

Chapter 20

6. If the monitored access point is configured to require LEAP

authentication, configure the username and password that the standby
access point uses when it performs LEAP authentication. This username
and password must match the username and password that you set up for
the standby access point on the authentication server.

authentication client username username

password password

7. Exit SSID configuration mode and return to radio interface configuration

mode.

8. Sets the number of seconds between queries that the standby access point

sends to the monitored access point’s radio and Ethernet ports. The
default poll frequency is 2 seconds.

iapp standby poll-frequency seconds

9. Sets the number of seconds the standby access point waits for a response

from the monitored access point before it assumes that the monitored
access point has malfunctioned. The default timeout is 20 seconds.

Increase the standby timeout setting if the bridged path between the
standby and monitored access points can be lost for periods greater than
20 seconds (during spanning tree recalculation, for example).

If the monitored access point is configured to select the least congested
radio channel, you can increase the standby timeout setting. The
monitored unit can take up to 40 seconds to select the least congested
channel.

10. (Optional) Configures the standby access point to send a Dumb Device

Protocol (DDP) message to the monitored access point to disable the
radios of the monitored access point when the standby unit becomes
active. This feature prevents client devices that are associated to the
monitored access point from remaining associated to the malfunctioning
unit.

11. Verify your entries.

If the access point is in standby mode, the standby parameters appear,

including the MAC address of the monitored access point, poll-
frequency, and timeout values.

If the access point is not in standby mode,

no iapp standby

mac-address

message appears.

12. Return to privileged EXEC mode.
