Setting Default Description
Use Aironet
Extensions
Yes When enabled, this option allows Cisco devices to provide functionality not supported by
802.11 IEEE standards, including the following:
 Load balancing—Allows the access point to direct Aironet clients to the optimum access
point.
 Message Integrity Check (MIC)—Protects against bit-flip attacks.
 Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)—Key hashing algorithm that protects against IV
attacks.
Lost Ethernet
Action
Repeater
Mode
Pull-down menu that specifies the action to take when the Lost Ethernet Timeout threshold is
exceeded:
 No Action—No action taken by the AP.
 Repeater Mode—The AP converts to a repeater, disassociating all its clients while the
backbone is unavailable. If the AP can communicate with another root AP on the same
SSID, its clients will be able to re-associate and connect to the backbone. If the AP
cannot communicate with another root AP, clients are not allowed to re-associate.
 Disable Radio—The AP disassociates its clients and disables the radio until it can
establish communication with the backbone.
 Restrict SSID—The AP disassociates all clients and then allows clients to re-associate
with current SSID.
Lost Ethernet
T
imeout
(1-1000 secs)
2 Specifies the time (in seconds) the AP waits prior to taking action when its backbone
connectivity is down. Actions are defined in the Lost Ethernet Action field.
Upgrade Radio
Firmware When
AP Firmware Is
Upgraded
Yes If enabled, this setting mandates that the radio firmware be upgrad
ed to a firmware version
compatible with the current version of AP firmware.
