Special Configurations
This chapter describes how to set up the access point in network roles other than
as a root unit on a wired LAN. You can set up an access point as a repeater to
extend the range of a wireless network, and you can use Hot Standby mode to use
an access point as a backup unit in areas where you need extra reliability. Both
configurations require two access points that support and rely upon each other.
This chapter contains the following sections:

Using Hot Standby Mode, page 8-5
•
A repeater access point is not connected to the wired LAN; it is placed within
radio range of an access point connected to the wired LAN to extend the range of
your infrastructure or to overcome an obstacle that blocks radio communication.
Non-Cisco client devices might have difficulty communicating with repeater
access points.
The repeater forwards traffic between wireless users and the wired LAN by
sending packets to either another repeater or to an access point connected to the
wired LAN. The data is sent through the route that provides the greatest
performance for the client.
