NOTE
If you are located in the United States and have a DFS-capable AP that
is expected to serve as a Root AP (or eMAP), with a non-DFS-capable Mesh AP
as its downlink, you will need to set the channel for the Root AP to one of the
non-DFS channels. Specifically, choose one of the following channels: 36, 40,
44, 48, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165. This is due to the DFS-capable AP’s ability to
use more channels than the non-DFS-capable AP, which could result in the RAP
choosing a channel that is not available to the MAP. Alternatively, go to Configure
> System > Country Code, and set the Channel Optimization setting to “Optimize
for Compatibility.”
Repeat Steps 1 to 3 for each AP that you want to be part of your wireless mesh network.
After you complete provisioning and deploying all mesh nodes, verify that the wireless
mesh has been set up successfully.
Step 4: Verify That the Wireless Mesh Network Is Up
After you complete deploying all mesh nodes to their locations on the network, you can
check the Monitor > Mesh page to verify that mesh associations have been established
and mesh trees formed.
1.
Go to
Monitor > Mesh
.
2.
Check if all the mesh nodes that you have provisioned and deployed appear in the
Mesh Topology
section.
Understanding Mesh-related AP Statuses
In addition to using the Monitor > Mesh page to monitor the status of the mesh network,
you can also check the Access Points page on the Monitor tab for mesh-related AP
statuses. The table below lists all possible AP statuses that are related to mesh
networking, including any actions that you may need to perform to resolve mesh-related
issues.
Recommended Action
Description
Status

AP, you may need to reboot
it to activate the mesh.

ZoneDirector, but mesh is
disabled
Connected
