access points (APs) to connect compatibly configured wireless
devices to a wireless LAN (WLAN).
FastPath Mesh
is the default bridging mode.
In addition to enabling/disabling STP with the
-mode switch,
you can use
-p to set the priority number at which the Mesh
Point will be used as the root switch in the STP configuration.
The Mesh Point with the lowest priority number on the network
serves as STP root. The default is
49152
. Configure Bridging
with
set bridging:
NOTE: After
changing the
bridging mode, you
must reboot the Mesh
Point.
# set bridging -mode stp -p 0...65535
You must be logged on to an administrator-level account to
change configuration settings (refer to Section 2.2).
View current STP bridging settings using the command
show
stp
.

3.3 Global Radio Settings
Global settings apply to all radios internal to the Mesh Point.
Different Fortress Mesh Point models can be variously
equipped with one to four independent internal radios
supporting various 802.11 capabilities, or with no radios.

a. All standard-equipment (802.11a/g/n and 802.11a/n) ES2440 radios support MIMO (
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output
);
MIMO-capable 4.4GHz radios are optional, as indicated by the final “m” in these 4.4 GHz model numbers.
(Enable MIMO through the Mesh Point CLI, as described in the CLI Guide.)
