Bridges. Alternatively, you can specify only a subnet
and allow SAC to automatically generate all member IP
addresses within that subnet, including that of the root/
master Bridge.

The IP or subnet address you enter must fall within one
of these reserved ranges:

10.0.0.0

–

10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0

–

172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0

–

192.168.255.255

For example, the command below establishes the
network Access ID, leaves the rest of the security
settings at their defaults, configures an SSID and
channel setting for each radio, and specifies a subnet
for the deployment:

[GW]>

set sac start -a 0f0e0d0c0b0a0b0c -sa r2s1s2i3d4 -ca 161 -sg r1s0s9i8d7 -cg 11 -ipnw 172.24.0.0

[OK] Started SAC process successfully

When the SAC process starts, you can observe the
master/root Bridge’s front-panel

Stat1

LED flash amber,

while its

Stat2

LED lights solid amber. As each slave/

non-root Bridge receives the SAC parameters, its

Stat1

and

Stat2

LEDs flash amber in unison.

Check the status of the SAC process with the

show sac

command:

[GW]>

show sac

SwabConfigID:19082

SwabSACRole:SAC_MASTER

SwabSACState:SAC_STOP_4SWAB

The master Bridge confirms the

SAC_PEER

status of each

new slave Bridge and displays

SAC_FINISH

for each of

them that has successfully received SAC parameters.

Confirm that all of the slave/non-root Bridges in the network
are recognized as SAC Peers with

show sp

[GW]>

show sp

Peer1=>Serial_Number:24743196

Peer2=>Serial_Number:24773196

When the master Bridge shows

SAC_FINISH

for all slave

Bridges and you have confirmed that the SAC Peer list is
complete, save the network configuration with
