To view mesh APs and the mesh topology tree using the command line interface, access the command-line
interface in enable mode and issue the following commands:
n #show ap mesh active
n #show ap mesh topology
Verification Checklist
After provisioning the mesh APs, follow the steps below to ensure that the mesh network is up and operating
correctly.
n Issue the command show ap mesh topology to verify all the mesh APs are up and the topology is as
expected. (Wait 10 minutes after startup for the topology to stabilize.)
n Verify each mesh node has the expected RSSI to its neighboring mesh nodes. The mesh topology is updated
periodically, so access the command-line interface and issue the command show ap mesh neighbors
for the current status. If the RSSI is low, verify that the tx-power settings in the mesh node’s
802.11a/802.11g radio profiles are correct, or, if ARM is used, verify the correct minimum tx-power setting.
n Issue the command show ap mesh debug provisioned-clusters to verify that the mesh clusters are
correctly defined and provisioned (with encryption if desired). Issue the show running-config | include
recovery command to verify that the cluster’s recovery profile matches the switch's recovery profile.
n Verify antenna provisioning by issuing the show ap provisioning command and verify installation
parameters for non-default installations (that is, standard indoor APs deployed outside, or outdoor APs
deployed inside). Ensure all APs use the same channel list by issuing the show ap allowed-channels
command.
n If the mesh-radio is to be reserved exclusively for mesh backhaul traffic, issue the command show ap
profile-usage to identify the radio’s 802.11a or 802.11g radio profile, then issue the command show rf
dot11a-radio-profile <profile> or show rf dot11g-radio-profile <profile> to verify the radio is disabled
in the profile. Next, use the show ap bss-table command to that verify no access Virtual APs are up on the
mesh radio.
CLI Examples
Use the show ap mesh active command to verify all nodes are present and that EIRP is correct:
(host) #show ap mesh active

Use the show ap mesh topology command to verify the cluster topology, RSSI in presence of network traffic,
and Tx and Rx rates.
