NN47250-100 (Version 02.51)
set service-profile mesh
Creates a service profile for use with WLAN mesh services.
Syntax set service-profile name mesh mode {enable | disable}
Defaults None.
Access Enabled.
History Introduced in WSS Software version 6.0.
Usage Use this command to configure mesh services for a service profile. Once configured, the service
profile can then be mapped to a radio profile that manages a radio on the Mesh Portal AP, which then allows a
Mesh Portal AP to beacon a mesh services SSID to Mesh APs.
Examples The following command enables mesh services for service profile sp1:
WSS# set service-profile sp1 mesh mode enable
success: change accepted.

set service-profile no-broadcast
Disables or reenables the no-broadcast mode. The no-broadcast mode helps reduce traffic overhead on an SSID by
leaving more of an SSID’s bandwidth available for unicast traffic. The no-broadcast mode also helps VoIP handsets
conserve power by reducing the amount of broadcast traffic sent to the phones.
When enabled, the no-broadcast mode prevents AP radios from sending DHCP or ARP broadcasts to clients on the
service profile’s SSID. Instead, an AP radio handles this traffic as follows:
• ARP requests—If the SSID has clients whose IP addresses the
WSS does not already know, the WSS allows the
AP radio to send the ARP request as a unicast to only those stations whose addresses the WSS does not know. The
AP radio does not forward the ARP request as a broadcast and does not send the request as a unicast to stations
whose addresses the
WSS already knows.
• DHCP Offers or Acks—If the destination MAC address belongs to a client on the SSID, the AP radio sends the
DHCP Offer or Ack as a unicast to that client only.
The no-broadcast mode does not affect other types of broadcast traffic and does not prevent clients from sending
broadcasts.
