NOTE
With this most recent release of Brocade Mobility software, an BR7161 model Access Point can be
deployed as a vehicular mounted modem (VMM) to provide wireless network access to a mobile
vehicle (car, train etc.). A VMM provides layer 2 mobility for connected devices. VMM does not
provide layer 3 services, such as IP mobility. For VMM deployment considerations, see
Mounted Modem (VMM) Deployment Considerations
NOTE
When using 4.9GHz, the root preferences selection for the radio’s preferred interface still displays
as 5GHz.
6. Set the following Root Path Preference values:
7. Set the following Path Method Hysteresis:
8. Select the Auto Channel Selection tab.
Preferred Neighbor
Specify the MAC address of a preferred neighbor to override mesh point settings.
Preferred Root
Specify the MAC address of a a preferred root device to override mesh point settings.
Preferred Interface
Use the drop-down menu to override the preferred mesh point interface to 2.4GHz, 4.9 GHz or
5.0GHz.
Minimum Threshold
Enter the minimum value for SNR above which a candidate for the next hop in a dynamic mesh
network is considered for selection. This field along with Signal Strength Delta and Sustained Time
Period are used to dynamically select the next hop in a dynamic mesh network.
Signal Strength Delta
Enter a delta value in dB. A candidate for selection as a next hop in a dynamic mesh network must
have a SNR value that is higher than the value configured here. This field along with the Minimum
Threshold and Sustained Time Period are used to dynamically select the next hop in a dynamic
mesh network.
Sustained Time Period
Enter the duration (in seconds or minutes) for the duration a signal must sustain the constraints
specified in the Minimum Threshold and Signal Strength Delta path hysteresis values. These values
are used to dynamically select the next hop in a dynamic mesh network.
SNR Delta Range
Select the root selection method hysteresis (from 1 - 100dB) SNR delta range a candidate must
sustain. The default setting is 1 dB.
