Configuring the AP

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 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.
