Configuring Global Mesh Parameters (CLI)
To configure global mesh parameters including authentication methods using the controller CLI, follow these
steps:
See the Configuring Global Mesh Parameters (GUI) section for descriptions, valid ranges, and default
values of the parameters used in the CLI commands.
Note
Step 1
To specify the maximum range (in feet) of all mesh access points in the network, enter this command:
config mesh range feet
To see the current range, enter the
show mesh range
command.
Step 2
To enable or disable IDS reports for all traffic on the backhaul, enter this command:
config mesh ids-state
{
enable
|
disable
}
Step 3
To specify the rate (in Mbps) at which data is shared between access points on the backhaul interface, enter this command:
config ap bhrate
{
rate
|
auto
}
Cisco_AP
Step 4
To enable or disable client association on the primary backhaul (802.11a) of a mesh access point, enter these commands:
config mesh client-access
{
enable
|
disable
}
config ap wlan
{
enable
|
disable
}
802.11a Cisco_AP
config ap wlan
{
add
|
delete
}
802.11a wlan_id Cisco_AP
Step 5
To enable or disable VLAN transparent, enter this command:
config mesh ethernet-bridging VLAN-transparent
{
enable
|
disable
}
Step 6
To define a security mode for the mesh access point, enter one of the following commands:
a) To provide local authentication of the mesh access point by the controller, enter this command:
config mesh security
{
eap
|
psk
}
b) To store the MAC address filter in an external RADIUS server for authentication instead of the controller (local),
enter these commands:
config macfilter mac-delimiter colon
config mesh security rad-mac-filter enable
config mesh radius-server index enable
c) To provide external authentication on a RADIUS server and define a local MAC filter on the controller, enter these
commands:
