Chapter 19 Configuring Repeater and Standby Access Points and Workgroup Bridge Mode
Configuring a Hot Standby Access Point
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 displays the status of the standby access point. Table 19-2 lists the standby status
messages that can appear.
Use this command to check the standby configuration:
show iapp standby-parms
This command displays 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.
