Configuring Auto Shutdown Settings

Wireless LANs

Auto shutdown provides a mechanism to regulate the availability of a WLAN based on time. WLANs
can be enabled or disabled depending on the day of the week and time of day.

A WLAN can be made available during a particular time of the day to prevent misuse and reduce
the vulnerability of the wireless network. WLANs can be disabled when there are no users on the
network, such as after hours or during the weekends/holidays. This enables the network
administrator to have more time to manage the network as the mundane task of shutting
down/staring up a WLAN is automated.

You can also use the Auto Shutdown screen to configure network parameters, which if not met, can
force the WLAN to shut down. These parameters are:

Shutdown on Mesh Point Loss – If an access point is a member in a meshed network and its
connection to the mesh is lost, then all WLANs on the access point that have this option
enabled are shut down.

Shutdown on Primary Port Link Loss – When there is a loss of link on the primary wired link on
the access point, all the WLANs on the access point that have this option enabled are shut
down.

Shutdown on Critical Resource Down – If critical resource monitoring is enabled on the access
point and one or all of the monitored critical resource goes down, the all WLANs on the access
point that have this option enabled are shut down.

Shutdown on Unadoption – If the access point is unadopted from its wireless controller, then
all WLANs on the access point that have this option enabled are shut down.
