See Chapter 18, “Configuring Repeater and Standby Access Points,” for detailed instructions on setting
up repeaters.
You can also configure a fallback role for the access point radio. The access point automatically assumes
the fallback role when its Ethernet port is disabled or disconnected from the wired LAN. There are two
possible fallback roles:
• Repeater—When the Ethernet port is disabled, the access point becomes a repeater and associates
to a nearby root access point.
• Shutdown—The access point shuts down its radio and disassociates all client devices.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the access point’s radio network role and
fallback role:
