7 In the Mesh Settings section, click Apply to save your settings and enable Smart
Mesh.
You have completed enabling mesh capability on ZoneDirector. You can now start
provisioning and deploying the APs that you want to be part of your wireless mesh
network.
Optional Mesh Configuration Features
The following settings are disabled by default and are not necessary for standard
mesh configuration. These settings can be used to fine-tune your mesh network to
prevent issues such as excessive broadcast ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
requests, traffic looping and excessive number of mesh hops.
• ARP Broadcast Filter : The ARP Broadcast filter is designed to reduce IPv4
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)
broadcasts over the air. Once enabled, access points will sniff ARP/NDP
responses and maintain a table of IP addresses to MAC address entries. When
the AP receives an ARP/NDP broadcast request from a known host, the AP
converts the broadcast request packet into a unicast request by replacing the
broadcast address with the MAC address. If the AP receives a request from an
unknown host, it forwards the request at the rate limit specified in the
“Packet
Inspection Filter” .
• Mesh Topology Detection : Set the number of mesh hops and mesh downlinks
after which ZoneDirector should trigger warning messages.
Step 3: Provision and Deploy Mesh Nodes
In this step, you will connect each AP to the same wired network as ZoneDirector
to provision it with mesh-related settings. After you complete provisioning an AP,
you must reboot it for the mesh-related settings to take effect.
To provision and deploy a mesh node:
1 Using one of the AP's Ethernet ports, connect it to the same wired network to
which ZoneDirector is connected, and then power it on. The AP detects
ZoneDirector and sends a join request.
2 If Auto Approval is enabled, continue to Step 3. If Auto Approval is disabled, log
into ZoneDirector, check the list of currently active access points for the AP that
you are attempting to provision, and then click the corresponding
Allow link to
approve the join request. For detailed procedures on approving join requests,
