The following is a step by step procedure that describes how to demote an existing IAP device to an MWR, and then promote it back to an IAP.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Once a device is demoted to an MWR, you will no longer be able to communicate with the device through its Ethernet connection. It will need to route to an active IAP.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Careful consideration should be taken prior to demoting an IAP with respect to VLAN configurations. Precautions must be taken to prevent a loop condition from occurring in the network.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When a device is demoted it will stop invoking its backhaul detection routines even if the device’s Backhaul feature is enabled.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The demoted device will be re-started as part of the change.
