Understanding Mesh-related AP Statuses
In addition to using the Map View to monitor the status of the mesh network, you can also check the Monitor
> Access Points page for mesh-related AP statuses. The table below lists all possible AP statuses that are
related to mesh networking, including any actions that you may need to perform to resolve mesh-related
issues.
Using Action Icons to Configure and Troubleshoot APs in a
Mesh
The following action icons are used to perform configuration and troubleshooting tasks on the respective AP.
The icons are displayed next to APs in the Currently Managed APs table on the Dashboard. Some of the same
action icons are also available on other pages including Monitor > Access Points (page 24) and Monitor >
Mesh (page 41).
