Local mesh
LLDP

LLDP
Support can be enabled for LLDP on local mesh links (see LLDP over local mesh on
page 5-11). When this feature is active, APs on the other side of a local mesh link are shown
as neighbors.
Note LLDP is not supported over local mesh links on APs operating in controlled mode.
Local mesh profiles
A local mesh profile defines the characteristics for the type of links that can be established
with other nodes. Each node supports up to six profiles, each of which can be either static or
dynamic.
If a profile defines a static local mesh link, the profile can only be used to connect with
another node with a profile that has matching settings.
If a profile defines a dynamic local mesh link, it establishes links to other nodes as
follows:
When a dynamic profile is active, the AP constantly scans and tries to establish links as
defined by the profile.
Role Upstream link Downstream link

master or slave nodes.
Alternate master A single link to a master node or
alternate master node.
Up to eight links with alternate
master or slave nodes.
Slave A single link to a master node or
alternate master node.
