Using the CLI to Configure Global Mesh Parameters

Using the controller CLI, follow these steps to configure global mesh parameters.

Note Refer to the “Using the GUI to Configure Global Mesh Parameters” section on page 8-16 for

descriptions, valid ranges, and default values of the parameters used in the CLI commands.

Step 1 To specify the maximum range (in feet) of all access points in the network, enter this command:

config mesh range feet

To see the current range, enter show mesh range.

Step 2 To enable or disable client association on the primary backhaul (802.11a) of an access point, enter these

commands:

config mesh client-access {enable | disable}

config ap wlan {enable | disable} 802.11a Cisco_AP

config ap wlan {add | delete} 802.11a wlan_id Cisco_AP

Step 3 To enable or disable VLAN transparent, enter this command:

config mesh ethernet-bridging vlan-transparent {enable | disable}

Step 4 To define a security mode for the mesh access point, enter one of the following commands:

a. To provide local authentication of the mesh access point by the controller, enter this command:

config mesh security {eap | psk}

b. To store MAC address filter in an external RADIUS server for authentication instead of the

controller (local), enter these commands:

config macfilter mac-delimiter colon

config mesh security rad-mac-filter enable

config mesh radius-server index enable

Force External Authorization When enabled along with EAP and External MAC

Filter Authorization parameters, an external

RADIUS server (such as Cisco 4.1 and later)

handles external authorization and authentication

for mesh access points by default. The RADIUS

server overrides local authentication of the MAC

address by the controller which is the default.

Default: Disabled.
