9.2.2 Configuring a WLAN for Mesh Networking Support
Each access point comprising a particular mesh network is required to be a member of the same
WLAN. Therefore, each base bridge, client bridge or repeater within the mesh network must use the
same WLAN in order to share the same ESSID, radio designation, security policy, MU ACL and Quality
of Service policy. If intending to use the access point for mesh networking support, Motorola
recommends configuring at least one WLAN (of the 16 WLANs available) specifically for mesh
networking support.
To define the attributes of the WLAN shared by the members of the mesh network:
1.
Select
Network Configuration
->
Wireless
from the AP-5131 menu tree.
The
Wireless Configuration
screen displays with those existing WLANs displayed within
the table.
2.
Select the
Create
button to configure a new WLAN specifically to support mesh
networking.
An existing WLAN can be modified (or used as is) for mesh networking support by selecting
it from the list of available WLANs and clicking the
Edit
button.
