mesh point provides traditional WLAN services (such as client connectivity, intrusion detection system (IDS)
capabilities, user role association, and Quality of Service (QoS) for LAN-to-mesh communication) to clients and
performs mesh backhaul/network connectivity. A mesh radio can be configured to carry mesh-backhaul traffic
only. Mesh points use one of their wireless interfaces to carry traffic and reach the controller.
Instant Mesh Setup
This section provides instructions on how to create a simple mesh network on Instant. To setup a mesh network,
perform the following steps:
1. Connect all the IAPs to a DHCP server so that the IAPs get their IP addresses in the same subnet.
2. For over-the-air provisioning: Connect one IAP to the switch to form the mesh portal. All the other IAPs are
provisioned over-the-air. Ensure that only one Virtual Controller (one subnet) is available over-the-air and all
the IAPs are connected to a DHCP server and get their IP addresses in the same subnet.
3. An open SSID,
instant
will be listed. Connect a laptop to the default, open
instant
SSID.
