Controllerless Networks

hi,

I'm going to configure a mesh link with 3 IAP 275 and I Have some question:

1. What is the average distance between two IAP (in open area).

2.Can an IAP configured as a mesh point, bridge the signal to another IAP (another mesh point).

 

Mesh isnt supported yet on the 275's

Thank you for the replay,

yes i just get the confirmation from Aruba TAC.

 

For the refernce

 the IAP

• 224 / 225
• 274 / 245
• 204 / 205
• 214 / 215

Do not support the Mesh yet , so be careful :)

Regards

Hi!

 

From what I´ve heard the functionality should be available in Instant OS 4.2. Anyone have information about when it will be available?

from what i've heard it is under test.

there are no official date.

Any updates? I choose Aruba radios over Ruckus because of their ability to be controller-less. Ruckus radios are mesh capable but with a controller.

Mesh is currently available on the controller platform. Controllerless (Instant) is expected to be available by the end of June. Please contact your Aruba rep for more info.


Thanks,
Tim

Thank you Tim for the very quick reply.

Hi,

 

I logged a call to Aruba TAC to see when the wireless mesh fuction will available for the IAP-2xx series. From memory it was July. I had access to the beta and can confirm i have 2 x IAP-274s wirelessly meshed and working very well.

are you using them strickly as a mesh backhaul or are you also using them as client coverage?

Nice. I am designing a large outdoor property with three IAP-275s, but need a bridge between two buildings.  Once these come in I will see what I can setup as far as the bridge/client coverage combination to confirm before implementation.  But for this design I will do what I know and put a separate PtP bridge in.

 

Hi ,

if you  want to do the mesh with AP 275 , you must use the ArubaOS 6.4.3.1 (or later).

it is  sweteble to put the backhaul in the 5 Ghz Band .

you can edit the Mesh Parameter in The APgroup>mesh.

then you can provisione the AP with it's mesh role.

Regards

 

 

Instant 6.4.3.1-4.2 is now available in Early Deployment with mesh support.
