Configuring the Role in the Radio Network

The radio performs the following roles in the wireless network:

• Access point

• Access point (fallback to radio shutdown)

• Root bridge

• Non-root bridge

• Root bridge with wireless clients

• Non-root bridge without wireless clients

You can also configure a fallback 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. The default

fallback role for Cisco ISR wireless devices is as follows:

Shutdown—the wireless device shuts down its radio and disassociates all client devices.

To set the wireless device’s radio network role and fallback role, follow these steps, beginning in

privileged EXEC mode.
