4.Click the using priority drop-down list to select a priority for the mesh cluster profile. The lower the number, the higher the priority.

NOTE: 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.

5. Click Add to add the mesh cluster profile to the AP group.

Configuring a DHCP Pool

In this next step, you must configure a DHCP pool where the DHCP server is on the subnet associated with mesh private VLAN. Mesh points get their IP address from this subnet pool. To complete this task, refer to the procedure described in “Configuring the DHCP Server on the Remote AP”.

Configuring the VLAN ID of the Virtual AP Profile

The VLAN of this Virtual AP must have the same VLAN ID as the mesh private VLAN.

1.Navigate to Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration window. Select either the AP Group or AP Specific tab. Click the Edit button by the applicable AP group name or AP name with the virtual AP profile you want to configure.

2.Under Profiles, select Wireless LAN, then Virtual AP.

3.To create a new virtual AP profile in the WebUI, select New from the Add a profile drop-down menu. Enter the name for the virtual AP profile, and click Add.

NOTE: Whenever you create a new virtual AP profile in the WebUI, the profile automatically contains the “default” SSID profile with the default “Dell-ap” ESSID. You must configure a new ESSID and SSID profile for the virtual AP profile before you apply the profile.

a.In the Profile Details window, click the AAA Profile drop-down list and select the previously configured AAA profile. The AAA Profile pop-up window appears.

b.To set the AAA profile and close the window, click Apply.

d.Enter the name for the SSID profile.

e.Under Network, enter a name in the Network Name (SSID) field.

f.Under Security, select the network authentication and encryption methods.

g.To set the SSID profile and close the window, click Apply.

4.Click Apply at the bottom of the Profile Details window.

5.Click the new virtual AP name in the Profiles list or Profile Details window pane to display the configuration parameters for this profile.
