Cisco Mesh Access Points User Manual

Adding MAC Addresses of Mesh Access Points to MAC Filter
You must enter the MAC address for all mesh access points that you want to use in the mesh network into
the appropriate controller. A controller only responds to discovery requests from outdoor radios that appear
in its authorization list. MAC filtering is enabled by default on the controller, so only the MAC addresses
need to be configured. If the access point has an SSC and has been added to the AP Authorization List, then
the MAC address of the AP does not need to be added to the MAC Filtering List.
You can add the mesh access point using either the GUI or the CLI.
You can also download the list of mesh access point MAC addresses and push them to the controller using
Cisco Prime Infrastructure.
