HP MSM7XX - Local Mesh Profiles

If the local mesh does not operate on a DFS channel, configure the radios in one of the
following ways:
 Configure the radios on all nodes to use the same fixed channel.
 Configure the radios for automatic channel selection. In this case the master selects the
least noisy channel. Slaves and alternate masters scan channels until they find the
master, then tune to the master channel and link with the master.
Local mesh profiles
A local mesh profile defines the characteristics for the type of links that can be established
with other nodes as follows:
Each node supports up to six profiles plus one provisioning profile. When a profile is active, a
node constantly scans and tries to establish links as defined by the profile.
The local mesh provisioning profile is used by the wireless link created on a provisioned
AP to support discovery of the controller. Initially, this link operates in slave mode. If you
configure this profile as an alternate master, then it can also be used to establish up to nine
downstream links with alternate master or slave nodes. See Provisioning local mesh links
on page 13-12 for more information.
Role Upstream link Downstream link
Master None. Up to nine links with alternate
master or slave nodes per profile.
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.
None.
