3. Configure the following parameters:
Note
Most of the configuration settings apply to non-root APs only.
Table 29: Mesh Device Settings
AP Model Option AP Behavior
• AP3xx
• AP4xx
• AP5xx
Root
Note: Wi-Fi 6 access points:
AP3xx, AP4xx, and AP5xx can
be part of the same mesh
network, but they cannot
participate in a mesh network
with AP39xx. AP39xx access
points must be a separate mesh
network from the Wi-Fi 6 APs.
A root mesh point is defined as a mesh point that
is connected to the WAN and provides a wired
backhaul to the network. Select the root behavior
of this mesh point.
• Yes — Mesh point is root node for this mesh
network.
• No — Mesh point is not a root node for this
mesh network. (Additional settings display.)
• AP3xx
• AP4xx
• AP5xx
Monitor Primary Port Link (Available for root APs) With Monitor Primary Port
Link enabled, if a root AP loses connection to the
backhaul, the non-root APs scan for a new root AP
and the original root performs service as a non-
root AP. When the original root AP restores
connectivity, it resumes the role of root AP.
Through the use of Automatic Channel Selection
(ACS), the optimum path is restored.
• AP3xx
• AP4xx
• AP5xx
Preferred Neighbor (Available for non-root APs) Select the preferred
Neighbor (AP name and radio) from a list of APs
with a root or non-root mesh radio.
When a non-root AP can see mesh beacons from
more than one neighbor, this setting configures
the AP to prefer one beacon over all others when
choosing a path back to the root.
• AP3xx
• AP4xx
• AP5xx
Preferred Root (Available for non-root APs) Select the preferred
root AP from a list of APs with a root mesh radio.
Use this setting to balance the number of mesh
points reporting to a specific root AP.
Radio Settings
Note: Dual-band support is available with Mesh
Point. When one radio is configured for Mesh
Point, both radios can provide service.
Radio settings for the root-AP and non-root APs
must match.
• AP3xx
• AP4xx
• AP5xx
Channel Width Represents the desired channel width. The
channel width is set for all APs in a device group.
Available options include:
• Auto – Channel width is calculated
automatically by the AP. It is displayed in the
user interface for informational purposes only.
