Working with Mesh Radio Profiles
The mesh radio profile determines many of the settings used by mesh nodes to establish mesh links and the path to
the mesh portal, including the maximum number of children a mesh node can accept, and transmit rates for the
802.11a and 802.11g radios. The attributes of the mesh radio profile are applied to a mesh point upon receiving its
configuration from the controller. You can configure multiple radio profiles; however, you select and deploy only
one
radio profile per AP group. Radio profiles, including the “default” profile, are not active until you provision your APs
for mesh.
If you modify a currently provisioned and running radio profile, your changes take effect immediately. You do not
reboot the controller or the AP.
Managing Mesh Profiles In the WebUI
Use the following procedures to define and manage mesh radio profiles using the WebUI.
Creating a New Profile
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration window. Select either the AP Group or AP
Specific tab.
l If you selected the AP Group tab, click the Edit button by the AP group name for which you want to
configure the new mesh radio profile.
l If you selected the AP Specific tab, click the Edit button by the AP for which you want to create the mesh
radio profile.
2. In the Profiles list, expand the Mesh menu, then select Mesh radio profile.
3. In the Profile Details window pane, click the Mesh radio profile drop-down list and select New. Enter a new
mesh radio profile name in the field to the right of the drop-down list. Y
4. Configure your desired mesh radio settings.
Mesh Radio profile configuration settings are divided into two tabs, Basic and Advanced. The Basic tab displays
only those configuration settings that often need to be adjusted to suit a specific network. The Advanced tab
shows all configuration settings, including settings that do not need frequent adjustment or should be kept at
their default values. If you change a setting on one tab then click and display the other tab without saving your
configuration, that setting revert sto its previous value. The basic and advanced profile settings are described in
Table 135.
