Profiles > Mesh > Cluster
AirWave provides a “default” version of the mesh cluster profile. You can use the “default” version or create
a new instance of a profile which you can then edit as you need. You can configure a maximum of 16 mesh
cluster profiles on a mesh node.
Perform these steps to create or edit Mesh Cluster profiles.
1. Click
Profiles > Mesh > Cluster in the Aruba Navigation pane.
2. Click the
Add button to create a new Cluster profile, or click the pencil icon to edit an existing profile.
The
Details page appears. Complete the settings as described in Table 30:
3. Click
Add or Save. The added or edited Cluster profile appears on the Profiles > Mesh > Cluster page.
Profiles > QoS
The following QoS profiles configure traffic management and VoIP functions.
z Traffic Management—Specifies the minimum percentage of available bandwidth to be allocated to a
specific SSID when there is congestion on the wireless network, and sets the interval between
bandwidth usage reports. Refer to “Profiles > QoS > Traffic Management” on page112.
z VoIP Call Admission Control—Aruba’s Voice Call Admission Control limits the number of active
voice calls per AP by load-balancing or ignoring excess call requests. This profile enables active load
balancing and call admission controls, and sets limits for the numbers of simultaneous Session Initiated
Protocol (SIP), SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP), Cisco Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP), Vocera
or New Office Environment (NOE) calls that can be handled by a single radio. Refer to “Profiles > QoS >
VoIP Call Admission Control” on page112.

Field Default Description
General Settings
Folder Top Use this field to set and display the folder with which the profile is associated.
The drop-down menu displays all folders available for association with the profile.
Folders provide a way to organize the visibility of device parameters that is
separate from the configuration groups of devices. Using folders, you can view
basic statistics about device, and define which users have visibility to which
device parameters.
Name Blank Enter the name of the profile.
Other Settings
Cluster Name aruba-mesh Enter the mesh cluster name. The name can have a maximum of 32 characters,
which is used as the MSSID. When you create a new cluster profile, it is a
member of the “Aruba-mesh” cluster.
NOTE: Each mesh cluster profile should have a unique MSSID. Configure a new
MSSID before you apply the mesh cluster profile.
To view existing mesh cluster profiles, use the command: show ap mesh-cluster-
profile. A mesh portal chooses the best cluster profile and provisions it for use. A
mesh point can have a maximum of 16 cluster profiles
RF Band a Use this setting to indicate the band for mesh operation for multiband radios.
Select a or g.
Important: If you create more than one mesh cluster profile for an AP or AP
group, each mesh cluster profile must use the same band
Encryption Open System Use this setting to configure the data encryption, which can be either open
system (no authentication or h) or WPA2-PSK-AES (WPA2 with AES encryption
using a preshared key).
AirWave recommends selecting WPA2-PSK-AES and entering a passphrase (see
WPA Passphrase). Keep the passphrase in a safe place.
