5.3.2 Setting the WLAN’s Radio Configuration
Each access point WLAN can have a separate 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio configured and mapped to
that WLAN. The first step is to enable the radio.
One of two possible radio configuration pages are available on the access point depending on which
model SKU is purchased. If the access point is a single-radio model, the
Radio Configuration
screen
enables you to configure the single radio for either 802.11a or 802.11b/g use. The Radio Configuration
screen contains two radio buttons whose selection is mutually exclusive.
If the access point is a dual-radio model, the
Radio Configuration
screen enables you to configure
one radio for 802.11a use and the other for 802.11b/g (no other alternatives exist for the dual-radio
model). Using a dual-radio access point, individual 802.11a and 802.11b/g radios can be enabled or
disabled using the Radio Configuration screen checkboxes.
The Radio Configuration screen displays with two tabs. One tab each for the access point’s radios.
Verify both tabs are selected and configured separately to enable the radio(s), and set their mesh
networking definitions.
To set the access point radio configuration (this example is for a dual-radio access point):
1.
Select
Network Configuration
->
Wireless
->
Radio Configuration
from the access
point menu tree.
NOTE
This section describes mesh networking (setting the radio’s base and
client bridge configuration) at a high level. For a detailed overview on the
theory of mesh networking, see
Mesh Networking Overview on page 9-1
.
For detailed information on the implications of setting the mesh network
configuration, see
Configuring Mesh Networking Support on page 9-6
