Next, assign the remote mesh points with the same mesh cluster profile, 802.11a and 802.11g RF
management profiles, and mesh radio profile as the remote mesh portal. If you have defined an AP group for
all your remote mesh points, you can just assign the required profiles to the remote mesh point AP group.
Otherwise, you must assign the required profiles to each individual remote AP.
Step 3: Assign the Mesh Radio Profile to a Remote Mesh AP
Follow the procedures described in Assigning a Mesh Radio Profile to a Mesh AP or AP Group on page 600
Step 4: Assign an RF Management Profile to a Remote Mesh AP
Follow the procedures described in Assigning an 802.11a/802.11g Profile to an AP or AP Group on page 551 to
assign an 802.11a or 802.1g RF management profile to the remote mesh AP.
Step 5: Assign a Mesh Cluster Profile
Follow the procedures described in Configuring Mesh Cluster Profiles on page 592 to assign a mesh cluster
profile to the remote mesh AP.
If you configure multiple cluster profiles with different cluster priorities, you manually override the link metric
algorithm because the priority takes precedence over the path cost. In this scenario, the mesh portal uses the profile
with the highest priority to bring-up the mesh network.
Step 6: Configuring a DHCP Pool
In this next step, you must configure a DHCP pool where the DHCP server is on the subnet associated with
mesh private VLAN. Mesh points get their IP address from this subnet pool. To complete this task, refer to the
procedure described in Enabling Remote AP Advanced Configuration Options.
Step 7: Configuring the VLAN ID of the Virtual AP Profile
Follow the procedure described in SSIDProfiles on page 428 to configure the VLAN ID of the remote mesh AP's
SSID profile. The VLAN of this Virtual AP must have the same VLAN ID as the mesh private VLAN.
Provisioning a Remote Mesh Portal In the CLI
Reprovisioning the AP causes it to automatically reboot. When you use the CLI to reprovision a mesh node, you
may also provision other AP settings.
