Cisco CISCO DOT11 CONTEXT SERVICES Node Operation Mode

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.110.1.1.14

This object indicates the mode which this infrastructure node is currently operating in. The semantics are described as follows. adminStandAlone - An infrastructure node in this mode has been configured to be the highest level node in the wireless services hierarchy and acts as both the Infrastructure and Mobile Node Authenticator. For an infrastructure node for which cDot11csServiceType is configured as 'rootWns', the mode of operation is always 'adminStandAlone' as it is the highest level node in the wireless services hierarchy. An infrastructure node whose cDot11csServiceType is 'wds' can be in 'adminStandAlone' mode if there is no node offering Wireless Network Services and is the root node in the wireless services hierarchy. An infrastructure node for which the value of cDot11csServiceType is 'wns' can't be in 'adminStandAlone' mode since it always has another infrastructure node as its parent for which the value of cDot11csServiceType is 'rootWns' and won't be the root node in the wireless services hierarchy. infrastructure - An infrastructure node in this mode has been configured with an external IN Authenticator. The external IN Authenticator in this case is the infrastructure node whose value of cDot11csServiceType is 'rootWns'. The immediate parent of this infrastructure node is given by the object cDot11csParentNodeAddress. fallbackStandAlone - This infrastructure node has been configured to function in the 'infrastructure' mode but the node has dropped back to 'fallbackStandAlone' mode due to loss of communication with its parent node. From an operational point of view, 'fallbackStandAlone' mode is same as 'adminStandAlone' mode. However, in the 'fallbackStandAlone' mode, an infrastructure node continuously attempts to get back to the 'infrastructure' mode.
