  • 1.  Mesh ARM with static channels queries

    Posted Oct 23, 2018 04:38 AM

    Hi,

     

    I am trying to create some mesh profiles and would like to assign static channel for a radio for backhaul so I disabled ARM but still the Mesh APs are getting ARM Channels.

     

    Any help is much appreciated.

     

    Thank you in advance.

    In the ap-group, if the ARM profile is set to disabled, the AP will obtain the channel from the radio profile just above the ARM profile.

    Yes, I assigned static channel 36 for a radio but still that AP is using a different channel ARM

    There is a 5ghz radio profile and under that is an ARM profile.  Did you assign the 5ghz radio profile to channel 36 and set the ARM profile under it to disabled?  In addition, in the radio profile, you would need to set the channel width (20).  In the ap-group, the Regulatory domain profile also needs to have channel 36 enabled to be able to set the channel correctly.  Do you have a screenshot of your settings?

    Yes. I disabled ARM, assigned a static channel. Do I have to reboot the portal or point for it to take the changes?

    You do not.  The point would follow the portal's channel.  You also need to make sure that the access point actually supports the channel you selected otherwise it will randomly select one that is supported.:

     

    show ap allowed-channels ap-name <name of ap>
