n If you selected the AP Specific tab, click the AP for which you want to create the mesh radio profile.
2. In the Profiles list, expand the Mesh menu, then select Mesh radio profile.
3. The procedure to create a new mesh profile varies slightly from the procedure to edit an existing profile.
n To create a new mesh profile: in the Profile Details window pane, click the Mesh radio profile drop-
down list and select New. Enter a new mesh radio profile name in the field to the right of the drop-down
list.
n To edit an existing mesh profile: in the Profile Details window pane, click the Mesh radio profile drop-
down list and select the name of the profile you want to edit.
4. Configure your desired mesh radio settings.
Mesh Radio profile configuration settings are divided into two tabs, Basic and Advanced. The Basic tab
displays only those configuration settings that often need to be adjusted to suit a specific network. The
Advanced tab shows all configuration settings, including settings that do not need frequent adjustment or
should be kept at their default values. If you change a setting on one tab, then click and display the other
tab without saving your configuration, that setting reverts to its previous value. The basic and advanced
profile settings are described in Table 137.
Parameter Description
Basic Mesh Radio Settings
Link Threshold Use this setting to optimize operation of the link metric algorithm.
Indicates the minimal RSSI value. If the RSSI value is below this threshold, the link may be
considered a sub-threshold link. A sub-threshold link is one whose average RSSI value falls
below the configured link threshold.
If this occurs, the mesh node may try to find a better link on the same channel and cluster
(only neighbors on the same channel are considered).
Default: 12. The supported threshold is hardware dependent, with a practical range of 10–
90.
Advanced Mesh Radio Settings
802.11a
Transmit Rates
Indicates the transmit rates for the 802.11a radio.
The AP attempts to use the highest transmission rate to establish a mesh link. If a rate is
unavailable, the AP goes through the list and uses the next highest rate.
To modify transmit rates, do one of the following:
n In the WebUI, deselect (uncheck) a specific rate box to use fewer rates when
establishing a mesh link.
n In the CLI, enter the specific rates to use.
Default: All transmission rates are selected and used. If you do not select 802.11a or
802.11g transmit rates, all rates are selected by default when you click Apply.
802.11g
Transmit Rates
Indicates the transmit rates for the 802.11g radio.
The AP attempts to use the highest transmission rate to establish a mesh link. If a rate is
unavailable, the AP goes through the list and uses the next highest rate.
To modify transmit rates, do one of the following:
n In the WebUI, deselect (uncheck) a specific rate box to use fewer rates when
establishing a mesh link.
n In the CLI, enter the specific rates to use.
Default: All transmission rates are selected and used. If you do not select 802.11a or
802.11g transmit rates, all rates are selected by default when you click Apply.
Allowed VLANs
