6. Click the OK button.
You return to the Special Features > Self Healing > Neighbor Details screen, on
which you can confirm the neighbors in the Neighbor Radio Indices column for
the radio that you were editing. Note that the neighbors also display the edited
radio in their Neighbor Radio Indices column.
Configuring Radios to Automatically Detect Neighbors
Instead of manually configuring neighbors, you can have RP radios detect each
other and choose their own neighbors. In this case, each radio will select the
three other radios from which it receives the strongest signal.
To use this option, complete these steps:
1. Select Special Features > Self Healing and click the Neighbor Details tab.
2. Click the Detect Neighbors button. The Automatic Neighbor Detection screen
is displayed. (See Figure 12-67.)

Note As soon as you enable this feature, every RP disassociates its wireless stations
and begins scanning for neighboring RPs. For this reason, it is particularly
important that you configure self healing when the wireless network is
inactive.
Remember also that any manually defined neighbors for radios are erased
when you click the Detect Neighbors button.
3. To confirm that you want RPs to begin detecting neighbors, click the Yes
button.
After RPs have selected their neighbors, you must define the action that they
will take when a neighbor fails, as described in the next section.
