Command History
Command Information
Reselection Mode Specifies the one of the following methods used to find a better mesh link.
z startup-sub-threshold: When bringing up the mesh network, mesh nodes have 3 minutes to
find a better uplink. After that time, each mesh node evaluates alternative links only if the
existing uplink falls below the configured threshold level (the link becomes a sub-
threshold link). The reselection process is canceled if the average RSSI rises on the
existing uplink rises above the configured link threshold.
z reselect-any-time: Connected mesh nodes evaluate alternative mesh links every 30
seconds. If a mesh node finds a better uplink, the mesh node connects to the new parent
to create an improved path to the mesh portal.
z reselect-never: Connected mesh nodes do not evaluate other mesh links to create an
improved path to the mesh portal.
z subthreshold-only: Connected mesh nodes evaluate alternative links only if the existing
uplink becomes a sub-threshold link.
Metric algorithm Algorithm used by a mesh node to select its parent.
Retry Limit Maximum number of times a mesh node can re-send a packet.
RTS Threshold The packet size sent by mesh nodes. Mesh nodes transmitting frames larger than this
threshold must issue request to send (RTS) and wait for other mesh nodes to respond with
clear to send (CTS) to begin transmission. This helps prevent mid-air collisions.
802.11a Transmit
Rates
Indicates the transmit rates for the 802.11a radio. The AP attempts to use the highest
transmission rate to establish a mesh link. If a rate is unavailable, the AP goes through the list
and uses the next highest rate.
802.11g Transmit
Rates
Indicates the transmit rates for the 802.11g radio. The AP attempts to use the highest
transmission rate to establish a mesh link. If a rate is unavailable, the AP goes through the list
and uses the next highest rate.
Mesh Private Vlan A VLAN ID for control traffic between an RMP and mesh nodes.
BC/MC Rate
Optimization
If enabled, the mesh node will use the slowest associated mesh-point rate for broadcast/
multicast data (rather than minimum).
Mesh High-throughput
SSID Profile
The High-throughput SSID Profile associated with this mesh radio profile.
Release Modification
ArubaOS 3.2 Command Introduced.
ArubaOS 3.4 The 802.11g Portal channel and 802.11a Portal channel parameters were deprecated, and
the Mesh High-throughput SSID Profile parameter was introduced.
