Configuring Mesh Networking
9-37
9.4 Mesh Networking Frequently Asked Questions
The following scenarios represent issues that could be encountered and resolved when defining an
AP-5131 or AP-5181 mesh configuration:
Mesh Deployment Issue 1 - Client Bridge can only connect to one of two Base
Bridges
You have two access points configured as base bridges (AP1, AP2) and one access point defined as
a as a client bridge (AP3). However, the client bridge is able to connect to only one of the base bridges.
Resolution
Check the mesh backhaul radio channel configuration on both base bridges (AP1, AP2). They need to
use the same channel so the client bridge can connect to both simultaneously.
Mesh Deployment Issue 2 - Faulty Client Bridge Connectivity
You have configured three access points in mesh mode; one base bridge (AP1), one client bridge/base
bridge (AP2) and one client bridge (AP3). However, the client bridge (AP3) is connecting to both AP1
and AP2 and using its link to base bridge (AP1) to forward traffic.
Resolution
This is valid behavior, you see this when your mesh APs are close enough (in proximity) so the client
bridge can see both the base bridges (AP1, AP2), in which case it forms two links, one each to AP1
and AP2. Since the link to AP1 is the shortest path in terms of number of hops, AP3 uses that link to
forward traffic.
Mesh Deployment Issue 3 - Cannot select a WLAN name for a Client Bridge
You created a WLAN for mesh backhaul on an AP needed as a client bridge, but you don't get to select
the WLAN name in the
Mesh Network Name
drop down menu. Why?
Resolution
Check the WLAN configuration to ensure you have enabled the
Enable Client Bridge Backhaul
option.
