Mobility System Software Command Reference Guide
Version 7.3
12 – 240
Usage You must connect the MP to an MX and enter this command to specify the mesh SSID
prior to deploying the Mesh AP in its final untethered location. When the MP is booted in an
untethered location, and determines that it has no Ethernet link to the network, it then associates
with the specified mesh-ssid.
Note that when the mesh-ssid is specified, the regulatory domain of the MX and the power
restrictions are copied to the MP flash memory. This prevents the Mesh AP from operating
outside of regulatory limits after the AP is booted and before the AP receives a complete
configuration from the MX. Consequently, it is important that the regulatory and antenna
information specified on the MX actually reflects the locale where the Mesh AP is to be deployed,
in order to avoid regulatory violations.
Examples The following command configures MP 7 to attempt to associate with the SSID
wlan-mesh when booted in an untethered location:
MX# set ap 7 boot-configuration mesh ssid wlan-mesh
success: change accepted.

set ap boot-configuration switch
Specifies the MX that a Distributed MP contacts and attempts to use as the boot device.
Syntax set ap apnum boot-configuration switch [switch-ip ip-addr] [name name dns
ip-addr] [mode {enable | disable}]
Defaults By default MPs use the process described in “Default MP Boot Process”, in the Trapeze
Mobility System Software Configuration Guide to boot from an MX, instead of using a manually
specified MX.
Access Enabled.
History
Usage
When you specify a boot MX for a distributed MP to boot from, it boots using the process
described in “MP Boot Process Using Static IP Configuration”, in the Trapeze Mobility System
Software Configuration Guide.
ap apnum Index value that identifies the MP on the MX. You can
specify a value from 1 to 9999.
switch-ip ip-addr The IP address of the MX to boot the Distributed MP.
name name The fully qualified domain name of the MX that the
Distributed MP boots from. When both a name and a
switch-ip are specified, the MP uses the name.
dns ip-addr The IP address of the DNS server used to resolve the
specified name of the MX.
mode {enable | disable} Enables or disables the MP using the specified boot device.
Version 4.2 Command introduced.
Version 6.0 Option dap removed.
Version 6.2 Added the index value range of 1 to 9999.
