The wireless controller periodically checks the radio neighborhood maps and detects
changes in the radio neighborhood maps or loss of connectivity to the controller by an access
point. When WLAN healing is used, if an access point goes down or loses connectivity, other
access points share its load to avoid a coverage hole. To do this, the other access points
increase their transmit power. WLAN healing is configured per security profile group and runs
between the access points sharing a common security configuration.
