Chapter 2 Configuring Radio Settings
Configuring Network or Fallback Role
Configuring Network or Fallback Role
You c an a lso c onfig ur e a f al lb ack role for root access points. The wireless device automatically assumes
the fallback role when its Ethernet port is disabled or disconnected from the wired LAN. Thefallback
role is Shutdown—the wireless device shuts down its radio and disassociates all client devices.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the wireless device’s radio network role
and fallback role:
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface dot11radio { 0 | 1 } Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface. The
2.4-GHz radio is radio 0, and the 5-GHz radio is radio 1.
Step 3
station-role
non-root {bridge | return}
root {fallback | repeater | wireless
clients | shutdown]}
Sets the wireless device role to universal client mode.
• Set the role to non-root bridge with or without wireless
clients, repeater access point, root access point or bridge,
scanner, or workgroup bridge.
• The bridge mode radio supports point-to-point
configuration only.
• The Ethernet port is shut down when any one of the radios
is configured as a repeater. Only one radio per access point
may be configured as a workgroup bridge or repeater.
• The dot11radio 0|1 antenna-alignment command is
available when the access point is configured as a repeater.
• Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is configurable on Cisco
ISR series access points in bridge modes.
• (Optional) Select the root access point’s fallback role. If
the wireless device’s Ethernet port is disabled or
disconnected from the wired LAN, the wireless device can
either shut down its radio port or become a repeater access
point associated to any nearby root access point.
Step 4
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
