Parameter Description
802.11a Transmit Rates Indicates the transmit rates for the 802.11a radio. 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.
802.11g Transmit Rates Indicates the transmit rates for the 802.11g radio. 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.
Allowed VLANs on mesh link Specify a list of VLAN IDs that can be used by a mesh link on
APs associated with this mesh radio profile
BC/MC Rate Optimization
If enabled, the mesh node will use the slowest associated
mesh-point rate for broadcast/multicast data (rather than
minimum).
Heartbeat Threshold
Indicates the maximum number of heartbeat messages that
can be lost between neighboring mesh nodes before the mesh
node is considered inactive and is dropped as a mesh
neighbor.
Link Threshold
Indicates the threshold for the lowest acceptable Receive
Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value. Links that drop below
this threshold will have an increased link cost. Default: 12.
Maximum Children The maximum number of children a mesh portal can accept.
Maximum Hop Count
The maximum number of hops allowed between a mesh point
and a mesh portal.
Mesh Private Vlan
This parameter is experimental and reserved for future use.
Mesh High-throughput SSID Profile The High-throughput SSID Profile associated with this mesh
radio profile.
Mesh Survivability
This parameter shows if mesh points and portals can 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 support.
Metric algorithm
Algorithm used by a mesh node to select its parent.
Rate Optimization for delivering EAPOL
frames and mesh echoes If this option is enabled, mesh APs will to choose a more
conservative rate for EAPOL frames and mesh echoes.
Reselection Mode
Specifies the one of the following methods used to find a
better mesh link.
l
startup-sub-threshold: When bringing up the mesh
network, mesh nodes have 3 minutes to find a better
uplink. After that time, each mesh node evaluates
alternative links only if the existing uplink falls below the
configured threshold level (the link becomes a sub-
threshold link). The reselection process is canceled if the
average RSSI rises on the existing uplink rises above the
configured link threshold.
l
reselect-any-time: Connected mesh nodes evaluate
