Demoting an IAP Device to a MWR
.............................................
.
.
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.
