Mesh between IAP92(portal) and IAP105(point)

  • 1.  Mesh between IAP92(portal) and IAP105(point)

    Having not dabbled with mesh on IAPs...

     

    I was wondering if you can mesh between IAP92 and IAP105 when the IAP92 is the portal?

     

    I'm aware that you cannot have an IAP as a mesh point and use the ethernet port but that's not what I'm doing here.

     

    Thanks

    Aruba Instant supports MESH for the IAP-105; IAP-134 & 135.   It does not support MESH for the IAP-92 and 93. 

     

    Here is some detail:

    1. Dual-radio only (i.e. IAP-105 )

    2. Over the air provisioning (active only when one Aruba Instant mesh network is being advertized, will not work for ROW version) and over the wire provisioning.

    3. Max hop count =2 (point->point->portal)

    4. Max number of mesh points per mesh portal is 8

    5. A mesh point cannot become the Virtual Controller

    Aruba Instant Mesh will not support LAN bridging or secure wired pass-through

     

    Hope this helps
