276CHAPTER 12: CONFIGURING WLAN MESH SERVICES

Configuring the You configure the Mesh Portal AP to beacon the mesh services SSID. To Service Profile for do this, create a service profile and enable mesh services using the

Mesh Services following commands:

set service-profilemesh-service-profile ssid-namemesh-ssid set service-profilemesh-service-profile mesh mode {enable disable}

The service profile can then be mapped to a radio profile that manages a radio on the Mesh Portal MAP. Note that the radio profile to which the service profile is mapped cannot be configured to auto-tune power or channel settings.

Configuring Security The secure connection between the Mesh AP and the Mesh Portal AP is

established in a two-step process: creation of an encrypted point-to-point link between the Mesh AP, and the Mesh Portal AP, then authentication of the Mesh AP.

When the Mesh AP is booted, it searches for a beacon containing the configured mesh SSID. Once it locates a Mesh Portal AP with the mesh SSID, it associates with the Mesh Portal AP as a client device. The Mesh AP can then be authenticated by the WX switch.

To configure the Mesh AP to be authenticated, use the following commands:

set service-profile mesh-service-profilersn-ie enable set service-profile mesh-service-profileauth-psk enable set service-profile mesh-service-profilecipher-ccmp enable set service-profile mesh-service-profilecipher-tkip disable set service-profile mesh-service-profile{psk-phrase pass-phrasepsk-raw raw-pass}

set mac-user mesh-ap-mac-addrattr vlan-name default set authentication mac ssid mesh-ssid* local

The pass-phraseor raw-passis the same one configured on the Mesh AP.

In addition, the Mesh AP must have its serial number and fingerprint configured on the WX switch.
