Usage Guidelines
Use this command to set up mesh network on an AP. Mesh network requires at least one
valid uplink (wired or 3G) connection. Any provisioned AP that has a valid uplink (wired or
3G) functions as a mesh portal, and the AP without an Ethernet link functions as a mesh
point. The mesh portal can also act as a Virtual Controller. A mesh portal uses its uplink
connection to reach the Virtual Controller, a mesh point, or establishes an all wireless path to
the mesh portal. Mesh portals and mesh points are also known as mesh nodes, a generic
term used to describe APs configured as mesh.
Mesh APs detect the environment when they boot up and locate and associate with their
nearest neighbor to determine the best path to the mesh portal.
Scalance W mesh functionality is supported only on dual radio APs only. On dual-radio APs,
the 5 GHz radio is always used for both mesh-backhaul and client traffic, while the 2.4 GHz
radio is always used for client traffic.
The mesh network must be provisioned for the first time by plugging into the wired network.
After that, mesh works on AP ROWs like any other regulatory domain
Example
The following example enables mesh network key on an AP:
(scalance)# mesh-cluster-key 12345678
The following example enables mesh network name on an AP:
(scalance)# mesh-cluster-name Hallmark
