0 minutes (default) This value causes the SSID to be deactivated and deleted from the main memory as soon as the access point detects that contact to the WLC has been lost. As a consequence, connections to the clients are lost. At the same time, the profile is deleted from the flash memory. One advantage of this is that a stolen access point cannot reveal the configuration, which prevents the access data from being misused. 1 - 9998 minutes Values between 1 – 9998 define the length of time in minutes that the configuration remains intact in the main memory after loss of contact to the WLC. Within this specified time period, internal communication within the SSID continues to work. In the case of an AP operating as a bridge for a point-to-point link, communication can be reinitiated and contact can be re-established to the WLC. When the timer expires, the profile is deleted from the flash memory as well. 9999 minutes A value of 9999 allows the current WLAN profile to remain operational indefinitely, however long the loss of contact to the WLC. The WLAN configuration in the flash memory is only deleted after a reset. Note: Please note that the configuration in flash memory is deleted only after expiry of the time for standalone operation, and not when the power is lost!
