Mesh network deployment - quick setup

Verifying mesh network functionality for scenario #1
You now have a three AP mesh network ready to demonstrate. Associate a single MU on each AP
WLAN configured for 802.11b/g/n radio support. Once completed, pass traffic among the three
APs comprising the mesh network.
Scenario 2 - two hop mesh network with a base bridge repeater and a
client bridge
By default, the mesh algorithm runs an automatic link selection algorithm to determine the best
possible active and redundant links. If member APs are not far apart (in physical distance), the
algorithm intelligently chooses a single hop link to forward data. To force APs to use multiple hops
for demonstrations, use manual links.
In scenario 2, the following three AP configurations comprise the mesh network:
•
AP#1 is a base bridge
•
AP#2 is a repeater (client bridge/base bridge combination)
•
AP#3 is a client b ridge
Configuring AP#1
The setup of AP#1 within this usage scenario is exactly the same as the AP#1 configuration within
Scenario 1 - two base bridges and one client bridge
for step by step instructions for configuring
AP#1, see
on page 533. Once completed, return to
page 538 within this section.
Configuring AP#2
AP#2 requires the following modifications from AP#2 in the previous scenario to function in base
bridge/client bridge repeater mode.
