number, the high the priority. The mesh cluster priority determines the order by which the mesh cluster
profiles are used. This allows you, rather than the link metric algorithm, to control the network topology by
defining the cluster profiles to use if one becomes unavailable.
To associate a mesh cluster profile to an AP group in a single-cluster deployment:
(host)(config) #ap-group <group> mesh-cluster-profile <profile-name>
To associate a mesh cluster profile to an individual AP in a single-cluster deployment:
(host)(config) #ap-name <name>mesh-cluster-profile <profile-name>
To associate a mesh cluster profile to an AP group in a multiple-cluster deployment:
(host)(config) #ap-group <group> mesh-cluster-profile <profile-name> priority <priority>
To associate a mesh cluster profile to an individual AP in a multiple-cluster deployment, use the command
(host)(config) #ap-name <name>
mesh-cluster-profile <profile-name> priority <priority>
Example:
(host)(config) #ap-group group1
mesh-cluster-profile cluster1 priority 5
mesh-cluster-profile cluster2 priority 10
(host)(config) #ap-group2
mesh-cluster-profile cluster1 priority 10
mesh-cluster-profile cluster2 priority 5
mesh-radio-profile channel2
Excluding a Mesh Cluster Profile from a Mesh Node
To exclude a specific mesh cluster profile from an AP:
(host)(config) #ap-name <name> exclude-mesh-cluster-profile-ap <profile-name>
Deleting a Mesh Cluster Profile
If no APs are using a mesh cluster profile, you can delete that profile using the no parameter:
(host)(config) #no ap mesh-cluster-profile <profile-name>
Creating and Editing Mesh Radio Profiles
The mesh radio profile determines many of the settings used by mesh nodes to establish mesh links and the
path to the mesh portal, including the maximum number of children a mesh node can accept, and transmit
rates for the 802.11a and 802.11g radios. The attributes of the mesh radio profile are applied to a mesh point
upon receiving its configuration from the switch. You can configure multiple radio profiles; however, you select
and deploy only one radio profile per AP group. Radio profiles, including the “default” profile, are not active
until you provision your APs for mesh.
If you modify a currently provisioned and running radio profile, your changes take effect immediately. You do
not need to reboot the switch or the AP to apply the changes.
Managing Mesh Radio Profiles in the WebUI
Use the following procedures to define and manage mesh radio profiles using the WebUI.
Creating or Editing a Mesh Radio Profile
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration window. Select either the AP Group or AP
Specific tab.
n If you selected the AP Group tab, click the AP group name for which you want to configure the new
mesh radio profile.
