AP Maintenance Mode
You can configure APs to suppress traps and syslog messages related to those APs. Known as AP maintenance
mode, this setting in the AP system profile is particularly useful when deploying, maintaining, or upgrading the
network. If enabled, APs stop flooding unnecessary traps and syslog messages to network management
systems or network operations centers during a deployment or scheduled maintenance. The controller still
generates debug syslog messages if debug logging is enabled. After completing the network maintenance,
disable AP maintenance mode to ensure all traps and syslog messages are sent. AP maintenance mode is
disabled by default.
