Link Integrity
Link Integrity
The AP provides a link integrity feature that can be used to ensure that wireless
clients are connected to resources on the wired network. The AP does this by
periodically sending Ping messages to a host device in the wired Ethernet network.
If the AP detects that the connection to the host has failed, it can disable the radio
interfaces, forcing clients to find and associate with another AP. When the
connection to the host is restored, the AP re-enables the radio interfaces.
