Thanks, that sounds logical. And that's what I'm trying to do, actually.
But there is no such configuration in GUI that will allow me to specify like OK, this baby is a mesh portal and this baby is a mesh point.
As I see now the mesh role is assigned automatically and depends on the Ethernet connectivity.
At the same time the CLI prompt gives me "Warning: configuration via CLI is not supported!" every time I try to configure the node.
So would you please give me a quick hint on how to "provision one as a mesh Portal and one as a Mesh Point".
