When you set up the standby access point, you must enter the MAC address of
the access point that the standby unit monitors. Record the MAC address of the
monitored access point before you configure the standby access point.
The standby access point also must duplicate several key settings on the
monitored access point. These settings are:
• Primary SSID (as well as additional SSIDs configured on the monitored
access point)
• Default IP Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway
• Data rates
• WEP settings
• Authentication types and authentication servers
Check the monitored access point and record these settings before you set up the
standby access point.
Wireless client devices associated to the standby access point lose their
IMPORTANT
connections during the hot standby setup process.
