Link Integrity
The AP provides a link integrity feature that can be used to ensure that wireless
clients are connected to resources on the wired network. The AP does this by
periodically sending Ping messages to a host device in the wired Ethernet network.
If the AP detects that the connection to the host has failed, it can disable the radio
interfaces, forcing clients to find and associate with another AP. When the
connection to the host is restored, the AP re-enables the radio interfaces.
Figure 32: Link Integrity
The following items are displayed on this page:
◆ Link Integrity — Enables the feature. (Default: Disabled)
◆ Destination IP — The link host IP address on the wired network to which Ping
messages are sent. (Default: 192.168.2.254)
◆ Detect Interval — The interval time between each Ping sent to the host IP
address.(Range: 10-86400 seconds; Default: 60 seconds)
◆ Response Timeout — The time to wait for a response to a Ping message.
(Range: 1-10 seconds; Default: 2 seconds)
◆ Retry Count if no response — The number of consecutive failed Ping counts
before the link is determined as lost. (Range: 1-99; Default: 5)
◆ Link Fail Action — When a link integrity test fails you can optionally disable
either radio interface. Note that the shutdown action does not apply for a VAP
interface set to WDS station mode. (Default: Disabled)
