Extending the Life of a Mesh Network
To prevent your mesh network from going down if you experience a controller failure, modify the following settings
in the AP system profile(s) used by mesh nodes to maintain the mesh network until the controller is available:
NOTE: Dell recommends the default maximum request retries and bootstrap threshold settings for most mesh networks; however, if
you must keep your mesh network alive, you can modify the settings as described in this section. The modified settings are not
applicable if mesh portals are directly connected to the controller.
l Maximum request retries—Maximum number of times to retry AP-generated requests. The default is 10 times. If
you must modify this setting, Dell recommends a value of 10,000.
l Bootstrap threshold—Number of consecutive missed heartbeats before the AP rebootstraps. (Heartbeats are sent
once per second.) The default is 9 missed heartbeats. If you must modify this setting, Dell recommends a value
of 5,000.
When the controller comes back online, the affected mesh nodes (mesh portals and mesh points) rebootstrap;
however, the mesh link is not affected and continues to be up.
