Figure 46: Mesh Point Profile Configuration, Multiple Radios
Non-root APs are configured with Mesh ACS (Automatic Channel Selection). This allows the non-root
AP to follow the channel and width of the uplink AP. The non-root AP scans channels to find the best
path to a root AP. Preferred Root and Preferred Neighbor settings influence the path to the root AP.
Note
Upon upgrade from earlier revisions of Extreme Campus Controller, non-root APs in a mesh
network are converted to Mesh ACS to determine the best channel.
The root AP can be configured for Auto or Fixed Channel. Mesh ACS and Smart RF oer dierent
channel plans. The AP makes use of each plan, respectively. When using Fixed Channel, configure a
channel that is part of the Mesh ACS channel plan because non-root APs use Mesh ACS. The root-AP
uses the Smart RF channel plan for Auto configuration while performing as a root AP:
• When Monitor Primary Port Link is enabled and the backhaul connection is lost, the AP serves as a
non-root AP and uses Mesh ACS to find a new root-AP.
• When Monitor Primary Port Link is not enabled and the backhaul connection is lost, the AP is lost.
To configure Mesh Device Settings in a configuration Profile:
1. On the Profile Mesh Points tab, select a single mesh network from one or more AP radio drop-down
field.
2. Select Advanced.
