Each Radio Link Module configuration is characterized by two types of
parameters:
•
Common parameters that must be the same for ALL RLMs in your
network, and
•
Unique parameters that must be unique for each Access Point RLM in
your network.
In larger networking organizations, it may become quite cumbersome to
copy the common parameters to each of the Radio Link Modules in the
network in order to provide consistency throughout the entire network. As
the number of RLMs increases, the risk of errors (e.g. as a result of typos)
may increase as well.
Inconsistent values for common parameters, or duplicate values for the
unique parameters may have unpredictable effects on the performance of
your network. Document the configuration settings of your network in detail
to avoid configuration mismatches.
Therefore, we recommend that you create a template file that contains all of
the common parameter settings that apply to every Access Point RLM
within the network.
