6.4 Mesh Prefix

The mesh prefix parameter sets the first two octets of a node’s mesh interface IP address. The

mesh prefix is set with the ‘id.meshprefix’ parameter in the ‘sys’ interface as shown in the

example below. The mesh prefix must be set the same for all nodes in a given mesh cluster.

The recommended range of values is 172.16 through 172.30.

> use sys

sys> set id.meshprefix=172.29

The mesh prefix can be set via the web interface using the “Mesh” tab on the “Wireless

Interfaces” page.

6.5 LAN Prefix

Class C subnets are created for an EnRoute500’s access point and Ethernet interfaces. The

subnet address space is based on the mesh ID, node ID, and LAN prefix. The LAN prefix is set

with the ‘id.lanprefix’ parameter in the ‘sys’ interface as shown in the example below. The

suggested values for the LAN prefix are 10 and 192. The LAN prefix must be the same for all

nodes in a mesh cluster.

> use sys

sys> id.lanprefix=10
