Configuring the AP
76 AP-4131 Access Point Product Reference Guide
WLAP Manual
BSS ID
Specifies the BSS_ID of a particular WLAP
and 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 the time interval, 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.
