Description
Ethernet Timeout function is disabled.
Access point detects a broken Ethernet connection and then turns
off its radio.. The Wireless LAN Activity indicator turns off.
When the Ethernet connection is restored, the radio is turned on
again.
Access point sends WLAP-Alive BPDU messages on the
Ethernet line as well as over wireless network. This allows other
access points on the same Ethernet line to detect its presence.
