6.3 Mesh / Node ID
An EnRoute500 must be assigned a mesh ID and a node ID before it is deployed as part of a
mesh cluster. The mesh ID identifies nodes that are members of the same mesh cluster and
the node ID uniquely identifies a node within a mesh cluster.
The mesh ID must be the same for all nodes in a mesh cluster. Each mesh that is connected
to a common WAN network must have a different mesh ID since it is a component of the mesh
nodes’ IP addresses. The mesh ID is set with the ‘id.mesh’ parameter in the ‘sys’ interface as
shown below. The range of valid mesh IDs is 0 through 254.
> use sys
sys> set id.mesh=12
A node in a mesh cluster must be given a unique node ID. This node ID is part of the node’s IP
address as shown in Figure 19. The allowable range for node IDs is 1 through 254. The node
ID is set as shown below.
> use sys
sys> set id.node=107

The mesh and node IDs can be set via the web interface using the “System” tab on the
“System Parameters” page.
