Assigning a Profile to an AP Group

To associate a mesh high-throughput SSID profile with an AP group:

(host)(config) #ap-group <group> mesh-ht-ssid-profile <profile-name>

To associate a mesh radio profile with an individual AP:

(host)(config) #ap-name <name> mesh-ht-ssid-profile <profile-name>

Viewing High-throughput SSID Settings

To view a complete list of high-throughput profiles and their status:

(host)(config) #show ap mesh-ht-ssid-profile

To view the settings of a specific high-throughput profile:

(host)(config) #show ap mesh-ht-ssid-profile <profile-name>

Deleting a Profile

If no AP or AP group is using a mesh high-throughput SSID profile, you can delete that profile using the no parameter:

no ap mesh-ht-ssid-profile <profile-name>

Understanding Mesh Cluster Profiles

The mesh cluster configuration gets pushed from the controller to the mesh portal and the other mesh points, which allows them to inherit the characteristics of the mesh cluster of which they are a member. Mesh nodes are grouped according to a mesh cluster profile that contains the MSSID, authentication methods, security credentials, and cluster priority. Cluster profiles, including the “default” profile, are not applied until you provision your APs for mesh.

Since the mesh cluster profile provides the framework of the mesh network, you must define and configure the mesh cluster profile before configuring an AP to operate as a mesh node. You can use either the “default” cluster profile or create your own. If you find it necessary to define more than one mesh cluster profile, you must assign priorities to each profile to allow the Mesh AP group to identify the primary and backup mesh cluster profile(s). The primary mesh cluster profile and each backup mesh cluster profile must be configured to use the same RF channel. The APs may not provision correctly if they are assigned to a backup mesh cluster profile with a different RF channel than the primary mesh cluster profile.

If the mesh cluster profile is unavailable, the mesh node can revert to the recovery profile to bring-up the mesh network until the cluster profile is available. You can also exclude one or more mesh cluster profiles from an individual AP—this prevents a mesh cluster profile defined at the AP group level from being applied to a specific AP.

Do not delete or modify mesh cluster profiles once you use them to provision mesh nodes. You can recover the mesh point if the original cluster profile is still available. Dell recommends creating a new mesh cluster profile if needed. If you modify any mesh cluster setting, you must reprovision your AP for the changes to take effect (this also causes the AP to automatically reboot). See “Provisioning Mesh Nodes” for more information.

Deployments with Multiple Mesh Cluster Profiles

If you configure multiple cluster profiles with different cluster priorities, you manually override the link metric algorithm because the priority takes precedence over the path cost. In this scenario, the mesh portal uses the profile with the highest priority to bring-up the mesh network. The mesh portal stores and advertises that one profile to neighboring mesh nodes to build the mesh network. This profile is known as the “primary” cluster profile. Mesh
