Managing
MP-to-MP Meshes
This section describe additional commands to help you configure and manage
an MP-to-MP mesh clusters, including:
•
“Displaying the Mesh Topology” on page 116
P-to-MP
(Star topology with one
base station in the
middle connecting up to
eight subscriber
stations)
1 Set the
topology
parameter to
p2p
.
2 Set the node’s role. The node can be a base
station (
bs
) or a subscriber station (
ss
). A base
station is located at the center of the star and
can support up to eight subscriber stations.
3 Set the
<lnk_idx>
parameter. The link index
identifies individual links in the star topology. It
ranges from 1 to 8. For a subscriber station,
you specify a single link index. For a base
station, you specify all the link indexes that are
used to connect to subscriber stations.
To configure P-to-MP links configure the
subscriber stations first followed by the base
station.
MP-to-MP
(Full mesh topology
with each BelAir radio
having up to eight links)
1 Set the
topology
parameter to
mesh
.
