After you enable standby mode, configure the settings that you recorded from the
monitored access point to match on the standby access point.

Verifying Standby Operation

Use this command to check the status of the standby access point:

show iapp standby-status

This command provides the status of the standby access point. This table lists the
standby status messages that can appear.

Use this command to check the standby configuration:

show iapp standby-parms

This command provides the MAC address of the standby access point, the
standby timeout, and the poll-frequency values. If no standby access point is
configured, this message

appears:

no iapp standby mac-address

If a standby access point takes over for the monitored access point, you can use
the show iapp statistics command to help determine the reason that the standby
access point took over.
