Excluding a Mesh Cluster Profile from a Mesh Node
To exclude a specific mesh cluster profile from an AP:
(host)(config) #ap-name <name> exclude-mesh-cluster-profile-ap <profile-name>
Deleting a Mesh Cluster Profile
If no APs are using a mesh cluster profile, you can delete that profile using the no parameter:
(host)(config) #no ap mesh-cluster-profile <profile-name>
Creating and Editing Mesh Radio Profiles
The mesh radio profile determines many of the settings used by mesh nodes to establish mesh links and the
path to the mesh portal, including the maximum number of children a mesh node can accept, and transmit
rates for the 802.11a and 802.11g radios. The attributes of the mesh radio profile are applied to a mesh point
upon receiving its configuration from the controller. You can configure multiple radio profiles; however, you
select and deploy only one radio profile per AP group. Radio profiles, including the “default” profile, are not
active until you provision your APs for mesh.
If you modify a currently provisioned and running radio profile, your changes take effect immediately. You do
not need to reboot the controller or the AP to apply the changes.
Managing Mesh Radio Profiles in the WebUI
Use the following procedures to define and manage mesh radio profiles using the WebUI.
Creating or Editing a Mesh Radio Profile
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration window. Select either the AP Group or AP
Specific tab.
l If you selected the AP Group tab, click the AP group name for which you want to configure the new
mesh radio profile.
l If you selected the AP Specific tab, click the AP for which you want to create the mesh radio profile.
2. In the Profiles list, expand the Mesh menu, then select Mesh radio profile.
3. The procedure to create a new mesh profile varies slightly from the procedure to edit an existing profile.
l To create a new mesh profile: in the Profile Details window pane, click the Mesh radio profile drop-
down list and select New. Enter a new mesh radio profile name in the field to the right of the drop-down
list.
l To edit an existing mesh profile: in the Profile Details window pane, click the Mesh radio profile drop-
down list and select the name of the profile you want to edit.
4. Configure your desired mesh radio settings.
Mesh Radio profile configuration settings are divided into two tabs, Basic and Advanced. The Basic tab
displays only those configuration settings that often need to be adjusted to suit a specific network. The
Advanced tab shows all configuration settings, including settings that do not need frequent adjustment or
should be kept at their default values. If you change a setting on one tab, then click and display the other
tab without saving your configuration, that setting reverts to its previous value. The basic and advanced
profile settings are described in Table 130.
