Wireless Access

Hello's

I'd like to create a mesh network with the Mesh point providing bridging as follows.

• Create an IAP cluster of 6 IAP's all located in one Warehouse space
• Disconnect one of the IAP's from the cluster and deploy it as a Meshpoint that is also providing bridging functions via it's Eth0

Here are my questions.

1. Do I understand correctly from documentation that any of the remaining IAP's in the cluster can become a Mesh portal?
2. If above is correct and the Mesh Point IAP is moving around the WareHouse, does this mean that the Mesh Point IAP could connect to a different MeshPortal based on proximity and other connect factors? This would be ideal as the MeshPoint will be moving around.

Thanks much,

1. Do I understand correctly from documentation that any of the remaining IAP's in the cluster can become a Mesh portal? Yes if the IAP is wired
2. If above is correct and the Mesh Point IAP is moving around the WareHouse, does this mean that the Mesh Point IAP could connect to a different MeshPortal based on proximity and other connect factors? This would be ideal as the MeshPoint will be moving around. This is correct

Thanks for your quick reply. I'll be testing this tomorrow and wanted to get the question out there prior.

Thanks,

Andrew

HI,

Before that, ensure that the extended SSID is disabled otherwise mesh will not work in IAP and IAP 92/93 will not support mesh functionality.

I understand that this is an old thread...

But... the tech I was speaking with tonight was saying to disable and enable the switch port; after turning them into mesh-points (enabling eth0) and on the same physical siwtch (cisco...).

But I should of removed them completely, by changing VLAN's or new physical switch huh?
