You can change the multicast group subscriptions with the
update mesh command:
# update mesh -multicast-group -ip <IpAddress> |-mac <MacAddress>
-interface
<InterfaceName> |-bss <BssName> -vlan <vlanID> -mode listener|talker|both
You must be logged on to an administrator-level account to
change configuration settings (refer to Section 2.2).
NOTE: The For-
tress Mesh Rout-
ing Protocol auto-
matically calculates the
neighbor cost based on
the quality of the link.
Overriding a neighbor
cost injudiciously can
cause disruption to the
entire mesh network.
Do not configure neigh-
bor cost overrides
unless you are working
with Fortress technical
support to troubleshoot
a problem.
3.2.2.2 Configuring Neighbor Cost Overrides
The cost of reaching a neighbor node (another Mesh Point
directly linked to the current MP) on an FP Mesh network is the
cost associated with the Mesh Core interface used to reach the
node. You can override the interface cost for a particular
neighbor by specifying a fixed cost for that node, with
-
nbrcost cost
, followed by an integer between 1 and
4,294,967,295. The higher the cost value, the less likely the
neighbor will be used to route network traffic.
Alternatively, you can configure the interface, with
-nbrcost
maxreach
, to be used to reach the specified neighbor node only
as a last resort, if no other path is available, or to never be
used, with
-nbrcost unreach.
# add mesh -nbrcost cost <1..4294967295> |maxreach|unreach
-mac
<MacAddress> |-ip <IpAddress> |-name <NodeName>
-interface
<InterfaceName> |-bss <BssName>
NOTE: A node is
assumed to have
only one IPv6 unique
local address. If differ-
ent costs are configured
for the same neighbor
by more than one IPv6
address, applied cost is
unpredictable.
Specify a given neighbor’s cost override value by MAC address
(
-mac), IP address (-ip), or node name (-name). Specify an
Ethernet
-interface or wireless -bss by the name associated
with it.
You can update the cost override with the
update mesh
command:
# update mesh -nbrcost cost <1..4294967295> |maxreach|unreach
-mac
<MacAddress> |-ip <IpAddress> |-name <NodeName>
-interface
<InterfaceName> |-bss <BssName>
Remove a neighbor cost override for a specific MAC address,
IP address, or node name; for a specific Interface name or BSS
name; or use
-all to remove all the cost overrides with the del
command:
# del mesh -nbrcost {-mac < MacAddress >|-ip < IpAddress >|-name
<
NodeName >}|{-interface < InterfaceName >|-bss < BssName >}|-all

3.2.3 Fine-tuning FastPath Mesh Network
Performance
The Mesh Point CLI provides set mesh commands for fine-
tuning the network performance of the FastPath Mesh network.
Available network performance settings include:
