Руководство По Устранению Ошибки для Cisco Cisco Aironet 350 Wireless Bridge

After you configure AP B as a repeater, the LEDs on the root AP and the repeater AP confirm whether the
repeater AP functions properly.

The status LED on the root AP must be steady green. The green light indicates that the repeater AP is
associated with the root AP. The assumption is that there are no clients associated with the root AP.

The status LED on the repeater AP also must be steady green when it is associated with the root AP and the
repeater has client devices associated to it. The status LED of the repeater flashes (steady green for 7/8 of a
second and off for 1/8 of a second) when the repeater AP is associated with the root AP but the repeater has
no associated client devices. You can also check the association table on the root AP and the repeater AP to
check if the configuration works.

The primary use of APs in repeater mode is in situations where you cannot connect the second AP to the
wired network. You must consider the use of repeater mode to extend the radio coverage only under these two
conditions:

In order to serve clients that do not require high throughput, because repeaters extend the coverage
area of your wireless LAN, but drastically reduce throughput.

1. 

When most if not all client devices that associate with the repeaters are Cisco Aironet Clients.
Non−Cisco client devices sometimes cannot communicate with repeater APs.

2. 

In order to overcome these disadvantages, you can use the second method to extend the coverage area. The
second method is to configure the secondary AP in AP mode with non−overlapping channels. You can use
this method only if you can connect the second AP to the wired LAN. This method is the easiest to implement
because this method does not require any additional configuration other than the basic configuration that you
perform on the APs.
