If configured, the AP monitors the primary switch by sending probes every 600 seconds by default. If the AP
successfully contacts the primary switch for the entire hold-down period, it will fail back to the primary switch.
If the AP is unsuccessful, the AP maintains its connection to the backup switch, restarts the LMS hold-down
timer, and continues monitoring the primary switch.
The following example assumes:
n You have not configured the LMS or backup LMS IP addresses
n Default values unless otherwise noted.
In the WebUI

AP Maintenance Mode
You can configure APs to suppress traps and syslog messages related to those APs. Known as AP maintenance
mode, this setting in the AP system profile is particularly useful when deploying, maintaining, or upgrading the
network. If enabled, APs stop flooding unnecessary traps and syslog messages to network management
systems or network operations centers during a deployment or scheduled maintenance. The switch still
generates debug syslog messages if debug logging is enabled. After completing the network maintenance,
disable AP maintenance mode to ensure all traps and syslog messages are sent. AP maintenance mode is
disabled by default.
