Note
Only when device is in layer 3 mode, the Mesh interface requires an
isolated IP address. When device is in layer 2 mode, its Mesh interface
uses the same IP address as its default VLAN.
The layer 3 device will form a wireless mesh network with other device provided the correct
configuration. Each of the mesh will have its own IP address. If two layer 3 devices have the
same IP, one is not visible to each other in the mesh routing table. Hence, an initial network
planning is needed to plan the whole mesh network.
AutoIP service could be used for simplicity and easy deployment of the mesh network. The
following fields will change accordingly if AutoIP is used. However, if you plan to use the
configured IP and Netmask, please disable AutoIP service. You can edit the following Mesh
configuration page is shown in Figure 3.3.4.1.
