Mesh Deployment Issue 5 - Do I need to use secure beacons on a mesh backhaul supported
WLAN?
Can I use secure beacons on the mesh backhaul supported WLAN?
Resolution
Yes, you can enable a secure beacon on a mesh backhaul supported WLAN. In fact, it is a Brocade
Mobility recommended practice.
Mesh Deployment Issue 6 - Is my mesh topology complete?
How can I determine if all my mesh APs are connected and the mesh topology is complete?
Resolution
Each mesh AP has a Known AP Table (available in the applet, CLI and SNMP). All APs (whether they
are supporting mesh or not) periodically exchange ID messages notifying their presence to one
another. Review the Known AP Table on any mesh supported AP to determine if you have all
required APs connected to the mesh topology.
Mesh Deployment Issue 7 - Can MUs roam within a mesh topology?
Can MUs connected to a mesh AP roam seemlessly among other MUs and wired access points?
Resolution
Yes, MUs on a mesh APs can roam seemlessly throughout the mesh network as well as with
non-mesh access points on the wired network.
Mesh Deployment Issue 8 - Can I mesh between a Mobility 7131 Access Point, Mobility 7131N
Access Point, a Mobility 5181 Access Points?
Can I mesh between these models?
Resolution
Yes, the access points are fairly close from a software deployment standpoint. So it is a supported
configuration for three models to exist in a single topology.
Mesh Deployment Issue 9 - Can I mesh between and an access point and a br300?
Can I mesh between a Mobility 7131 Access Point, Mobility 7131N Access Point and a Mobility
5181 Access Point?
Resolution
No, a br300 does not support mesh networking, so you won't be able to mesh between two br300s
or between a br300 and a Mobility 7131 Access Point, Mobility 7131N Access Point, or Mobility
5181 Access Point.
Mesh Deployment Issue 11 - Can I update firmware/configuration files across a mesh backhaul?
Can I update device firmware over the mesh backhaul on a client bridge or repeater AP with no
wired connectivity?
