| Configuring the AP |
|
|
WLAP Manual | Specifies the BSS_ID of a particular WLAP and |
BSS_ID | forces the current AP to associate only with |
| that WLAP. |
| If setting the WLAP Manual BSS_ID to the |
| current BSS_ID, the current AP jumps into |
| Functional State immediately and waits for an |
| Association Request from the other WLAP. See |
| section 3.8: ”Radio Statistics” on page 176. |
| This feature speeds up the association process |
| and minimizes confusion when more than two |
| WLAPs try to associate with each other. |
WLAP Hello Time | Sets the time lapse, in seconds, between |
| Config BPDU packets sent to the Root AP by a |
| designated WLAP. The default is 20 seconds. |
| If the Root AP fails to hear from the designated |
| WLAP within the WLAP Max Age time, it |
| removes the designated WLAP from its |
| interface table. |
| The WLAP Hello Time of the Root AP overwrites |
| the WLAP Hello Time of designated WLAPs. The |
| WLAP Hello Time does not refer to the time |
| lapse between beacons sent by the Root AP. If a |
| designated WLAP fails to receive a beacon, it |
| knows that its Root AP has lost the Root status. |
WLAP Max Age | Defines time, in seconds, before discarding |
| aged configuration messages. This causes a |
| disconnection between the two WLAPs. The |
| recommended value is a multiple of the WLAP |
| Hello Time. The default is 100 seconds. |
| The WLAP Max Age of the Root AP overwrites |
| the WLAP Max Age of designated WLAPs. |
