Description

Usage Guidelines
To maintain a mesh topology created using the apconnect command, Dell suggests setting the mesh reselection-
mode to reselect-never, otherwise the normal mesh reselection mechanisms could break up the selected topology.
Example
The following command connects the mesh point “meshpoint1” to a new parent with the specified BSSID.
(host) (config) #apconnect ap-name meshpoint1 parent-bssid 00:12:6d:03:1c:f1
