Configuring WLAN Mesh Services 275

Configuring the Before a Mesh AP can be installed in a location untethered from the Mesh AP network, it must be preconfigured for mesh services, including the

mesh services SSID, and the pre-shared key that is used for establishing the connection between the Mesh AP and the Mesh Portal AP.

1Attach the MAP to your network, apply power, and allow the MAP to boot as a regular MAP.

2Once the MAP has booted, use the following command to enable mesh services on the MAP.

set ap num boot-configuration mesh mode {enable disable}

3Use the following command to specify the pre-shared key:

set ap num boot-configuration mesh {psk-phrase pass-phrasepsk-raw raw-pass}

When a pass-phraseis specified, it is converted into a raw hexadecimal key and stored in the MAP boot configuration.

4Use the following command to specify the mesh services SSID:

set ap num boot-configuration mesh ssid mesh-ssid

When the MAP is booted, and it determines that it has no Ethernet link to the network, it then associates with the specified mesh-ssid.

Note that when the mesh-ssidis specified, the regulatory domain of the WX and the power restrictions are copied to the MAP flash memory. This prevents the Mesh AP from operating outside of regulatory limits after it is booted and before it receives its complete configuration from the WX switch.

Consequently, it is important that the regulatory and antenna information specified on the WX switch actually reflects the locale where the Mesh AP is deployed, in order to avoid regulatory violations.
