9.3 Mesh Network Deployment - Quick Setup

This section provides instructions on how to quickly setup and demonstrate mesh functionality using

three access points. Two following two deployment scenarios will be addressed:

•Scenario 1 - Two base bridges (redundant) and one client bridge

•Scenario 2 - A two hop mesh network with a base bridge, repeater (combined base bridge

and client bridge mode) and a client bridge.

A conceptual illustration of scenario one is as follows:

In scenario 1, the following three access point configurations will be deployed within the mesh

network:

• AP#1 - An active base bridge

• AP#2 - A redundant base bridge

• AP#3 - A client bridge connecting to both AP#1 and AP#2 simultaneously.
