578
− Fixed—Uses the maximum fixed rate of the current radio to calculate the cost of a mesh
link.
− Realtime—Uses real-time RSSI to calculate the cost of a mesh link.
{
Probe Request Interval—Interval for sending probe requests by an AP. The AP sends probe
requests to scan peer APs, responds to responses, and establishes a neighbor table.
{
Link Hold RSSI—Minimum RSSI to allow a link to be formed and held. Once the RSSI of an
active link is smaller than this value, a link switch happens.
{
Link Hold Time—Minimum time period for keeping an active link up. Within the link hold
time, an active link remains up even if link switch margin is reached.
{
Link Saturation RSSI—Maximum RSSI for an active link. If the value is reached, a link switch
happens.
{
Link Switch Margin—If the RSSI of the new link is greater than that of the current active link
by the link switch margin, active link switch happens. This function is supported only on mesh
networks of AC application.
{
Enable Role Authenticator— Indicates whether role authenticator is enabled. Role
authenticator must be enabled on one of two APs to establish a mesh link. This function is
supported only on mesh networks of AC application.
{
Enable MLSP— Indicates whether the MLSP protocol is enabled. MLSP is used to create and
break links during train movement to ensure an active link is available on a train MP at any
given time. This function is supported only on mesh networks of an AC application.
{
MLSP Proxy MAC Address—MAC address of the device connecting to the MLSP-enabled fit
AP. When a link switchover occurs in a subway mesh network, the train MP, if configured
with MLSP proxy, sends a gratuitous ARP packet so the switch that connects to the rail MP
can quickly update the ARP entry to avoid traffic interruption. This function is supported only
on mesh networks of AC application. This item is displayed for mesh networks of an AC
application when MLSP is enabled and proxy MAC address is configured.
6. Click Close.
Adding an MP policy
1. Click the Service tab.
2. From the navigation tree, select WLAN Manager > Resource Management > ACs or WLAN
Manager > Resource Management > Fat APs.
3. Click the device label of an AC or fat AP to enter the device information page.
4. On the Mesh Management menu on the lower right corner of the page, click MP Policy
Management.
The MP Policy Management page appears.
5. Click Add Policy to enter the Add MP Policy page.
6. Set the following parameters:
{
Policy Name—Enter a name for the MP policy. An MP policy name must be unique on the
same device.
{
Enable Link Initiation—Select the option to enable the link initiation. If the link initiation is
enabled, the AP searches its peer AP.
{
Link Maximum Number—Set the maximum number of mesh links that a radio of an AP can
establish with other APs.
