Cisco CISCO DOT11 CONTEXT SERVICES Wds Instance State

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.10.110.1.1.17.1.5

This object indicates the current state of this WDS entity. A value of 'active' indicates that this is an active WDS entity that sends periodic WDS advertisement messages for APs to pick those messages and identify the WDS entity they can register with. An 'active' WDS entity moves to the 'backup' state if it receives advertisement message from a WDS entity configured with a higher priority. A value of 'backup' indicates that this WDS entity is in standby mode. A 'backup' WDS entity moves to the 'active' state when it receives advertisement message from a WDS entity configured with a higher priority. The 'candidate' state is the initial state of a WDS entity that participates in the election process. A WDS candidate entity moves either to the 'active' state if it doesn't receive an advertisement message from a higher priority WDS entity within the listen period or to the 'backup' state if it receives a higher priority advertisement message within the listen period.
