Configuring Radio Assurance Mode (Loopback Tests)
The AP uses its built-in monitor radio to monitor other radios in the AP. Tests
include sending probes on all channels and checking for a response, and checking
whether beacons are received from the other radio. If a problem is detected,
corrective actions are taken to recover. Loopback mode operation is described in
detail in “AP Monitor and Radio Assurance Capabilities” on page 527.
The following actions may be configured:
 alert-only — the AP will issue an alert in the Syslog.
 repair-without-reboot — the AP will issue an alert and reset radios at the
Physical Layer (Layer 1) and possibly at the MAC layer. The reset should
not be noticed by users, and they will not need to reassociate.
 reboot-allowed — the AP will issue an alert, reset the radios, and
schedule the AP to reboot at midnight (per local AP time) if necessary. All
stations will need to reassociate to the AP.
 off — Disable IAP loopback tests (no self-monitoring occurs). Radio
Assurance mode is off by default.
This is a global IAPs setting — the monitor radio will monitor all other radios
according to the settings above, and it cannot be set up to monitor particular
radios. Radio assurance mode requires Intrusion Detection to be set to Standard.
The following example shows you how to configure a loopback test.
