How do “Hot Standby” and “Self-Healing” work together?
A. Hot Standby allows the customer to keep a redundant standby AP set for a primary AP. Then, if the primary AP goes down, the standby will take over—presumably, with the same or similar settings—to allow for no loss in coverage. With Self Healing, the WLSE monitors the wireless network and if it determines a radio is down, it modifies the power settings of neighboring APs in an attempt to maintain the coverage. If both Hot Standby and Self Healing are deployed, then Hot Standby takes precedence over Self Healing. In this case, Self Healing does not modify the neighboring APs unless the standby becomes the primary AP and that AP goes down as well (a double failure).
