Parameter Description Range Default
The AP attempts to use the highest transmission rate
to establish a mesh link. If a rate is unavailable, the
AP goes through the list and uses the next highest
rate. 12, 18, 24, 36,
48, 54 12, 18, 24, 36,
48, 54 Mbps
heartbeat-
threshold Indicates the maximum number of heartbeat
messages that can be lost between neighboring mesh
nodes. 1-255 10
hop-count
Indicates the maximum hop count from the mesh
portal. 1-32 8
link-threshold
Indicates the minimal RSSI value. If the RSSI value is
below this threshold, the link may be considered a
sub-threshold link. A sub-threshold link is a link
whose average RSSI value falls below the configured
threshold.
If this occurs, the mesh node may try to find a better
link on the same channel and cluster (only neighbors
on the same channel are considered).
The supported threshold is hardware dependent, with
a practical range of 10-90. hardware

mesh-ht-ssid-profile
High-throughput SSID Profile for the mesh feature. default
max-retries
Maximum number of times a mesh node can re-send
a packet. 0-15 4 times
mesh-mcast-opt
Enables or disables scanning of all active stations
currently associated to a mesh point to select the
lowest transmission rate based on the slowest
connected mesh child.
When enabled, this setting dynamically adjusts the
multicast rate to that of the slowest connected mesh
child. Multicast frames are not sent if there are no
mesh children.
Best practices are to use the default value. enabled
mesh-survivability
Allow mesh points and portals to become active even
if the controller cannot be reached by bridging LAN
traffic. This is a beta feature that is disabled by
default; it should not be enabled unless you are
instructed to do so by Dell technical suppport. — distributed-
tree-
rssi
metric-
algorithm
Specifies the algorithm used by a mesh node to
select its parent.
Best practices are to use the default value
distributed-tree-rssi. — distributed-
tree-
rssi
best-link-
rssi
Selects the parent with the strongest RSSI,
regardless of the number of children a potential
parent has. — —
distributed-
tree-rssi
Selects the parent based on link-RSSI and node cost
based on the number of children.
This option evenly distributes the mesh points over
high quality uplinks. Low quality uplinks are selected
as a last resort. — —
