Chapter 8 Controlling Mesh Access Points
Adding Mesh Access Points to the Mesh Network
Defining the Mesh Access Point Role
By default, the 152x mesh access points are shipped with a radio role set to MAP. You must reconfigure
a mesh access point to act as a RAP.
To configure the role of a mesh access point, enter the following command:
config ap role {rootAP | meshAP} Cisco_AP
The radio role can also be changed using the controller GUI.
Configuring Global Mesh Parameters
This section provides instructions for configuring the access point to establish a connection with the
controller including:
Setting the maximum range between RAP and MAP (not applicable to 1130 and 1240 indoor mesh
access points)
Enabling a backhaul to carry client traffic
Defining whether VLAN tags are forwarded or not
Defining the authentication mode (EAP or PSK) and method (local or external) for mesh access
points including security settings (local and external authentication).
You can configure the necessary mesh parameters using the controller GUI or CLI. All parameters are
applied globally.
Using the GUI to Configure Global Mesh Parameters
Using the controller GUI, follow these steps to configure global mesh parameters.
Step 1 Click Wireless > Mesh to open the Mesh page (see Figure 8-10).
