Configuring Mesh Radio Settings in the WebUI

The mesh radio settings determine the settings used by mesh nodes to establish mesh links and the path to the mesh portal.

The following procedure describes how to configure mesh radio settings associated with AP groups:

1.In theManaged Devicenode hierarchy, navigate toConfiguration > AP Groups.

2.Select an AP Group from theAP Groupstable.

3.InAP groups, Click theMeshtab.

4.ExpandRadio Settings.

5.Configure the mesh high throughput parameters described inTable 1.

Parameter

Description

Minimum link SNR

The minimum link signal-to-noise ratio.The allowed range of values is between 1 and 255. The default value is 12.

Matric algorithm

The algorithm used by a mesh node to select its parent. Use this parameter to optimize operation of the link matric algorithm. Available options are:

best-link-rssi: Select the parent with the strongestRSSIReceived Signal Strength Indicator. RSSI is a mechanism by which RF energy is measured by the circuitry on a wireless NIC (0-255). The RSSI is not standard across vendors. Each vendor determines its own RSSI scale/values., regardless of the number of children a potential parent has.

distributed-tree-rssi: Select the parent based on link-RSSIReceived Signal Strength Indicator. RSSI is a mechanism by which RF energy is measured by the circuitry on a wireless NIC (0-255). The RSSI is not standard across vendors. Each vendor determines its own RSSI scale/values.英航和节点成本sed on the number of children. This option evenly distributes the mesh points over high quality uplinks. Low quality uplinks are selected as a last resort.

Default is distributed-tree-rssi.

Reselection mode

The reselection mode. Available options are:

reselect-anytime

reselect-never

startup-subthreshold

subthreshold-only

Heartbeat threshold

The maximum number of heartbeat messages that can be lost between neighboring mesh nodes. Range is 1–255. Default is 10.

Link threshold

The minimumRSSIReceived Signal Strength Indicator. RSSI is a mechanism by which RF energy is measured by the circuitry on a wireless NIC (0-255). The RSSI is not standard across vendors. Each vendor determines its own RSSI scale/values.threshold below which a link is considered as a sub-threshold link. A sub-threshold link is one whose averageRSSIReceived Signal Strength Indicator. RSSI is a mechanism by which RF energy is measured by the circuitry on a wireless NIC (0-255). The RSSI is not standard across vendors. Each vendor determines its own RSSI scale/values.value falls below the configured link threshold. If this occurs, the mesh node may try to find a better link on the same channel and cluster (only neighbors on the same channel are considered). Range is 1 to 255. Default is 12.

Max children

The maximum number of children a mesh node can accept. Range is 1 to 64. Default is 64.

Max hop count

The maximum hop count from the mesh portal. Range is 1 to 32. Default is 8.

Mesh private VLAN

TheVLANVirtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN.ID for control traffic between a remote mesh portal and mesh nodes. Do not use thisVLANVirtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN.ID for user traffic. Range is 0 to 4094. Default is 0 (disabled).

Mesh survivability

This feature is currently not supported and should only be enabled under the supervision ofArubasupport.

Retry limit

The number of times a mesh node can re-send a packet. Range is 0 to 15. Default is 8.

RTS threshold

The packet size sent by mesh nodes. Mesh nodes transmitting frames larger than this threshold must issueRTSRequest to Send. RTS refers to the data transmission and protection mechanism used by the 802.11 wireless networking protocol to prevent frame collision occurrences. See CTS.and wait for other mesh nodes to respond withCTSClear to Send. The CTS refers to the data transmission and protection mechanism used by the 802.11 wireless networking protocol to prevent frame collision occurrences. See RTS.to begin transmission. This helps prevent mid-air collisions. Range is 256 to 2346. Default is 2333.
