Chapter 2 Cisco IOS Commands for Access Points and Bridges
station-role
Defaults Access points operate as root access points by default. When set to defaults, Cisco Aironet 1400 Series
Wireless Bridges start up in install mode and adopt the root role if they do not associate to another
bridge. If a 1400 series bridge associates to another bridge at start-up, it automatically adopts the
non-root role. Cisco Aironet 1310 Access Points/Bridges operate as root access points by default.
Command Modes Configuration interface
Command History
fallback shutdown Specifies that the access point should shutdown when the primary
Ethernet interface is not functional.
Note This option is supported only on 1100, 1130AG, 1200,
1240AG, and 1310 series access points and bridges in access
point mode.
fallback repeater Specifies that the access point should operate in repeater mode when
the primary Ethernet interface is not functional.
Note This option is supported only on 1100, 1130AG, 1200,
1240AG, and 1310 series access points and bridges in access
point mode.
install Configures the bridge for installation mode. In installation mode, the
bridge flashes its LEDs to indicate received signal strength (RSSI) to
assist in antenna alignment.
Note This option is supported only on 1310 and 1400 series bridges.
workgroup-bridge Specifies that the device operates in workgroup bridge mode. As a
workgroup bridge, the device associates to an access point or bridge as
a client and provides a wireless LAN connection for devices connected
to its Ethernet port.
Note This option is supported only on 1100, 1130AG, 1200,
1240AG, and 1310 series access points and bridges.
