Local mesh profiles
Local mesh profiles are configurable at the controlled APs, group, or AP level. To view all
profiles select Service Controller > Controlled APs >> Configuration > Local mesh. Or
you can expand Controlled APs and select a group or specific AP. The following is an
example of the profile list displayed when selecting Controlled APs >> Configuration >
Local mesh.
Configuration guidelines
In addition to the provisioning profile, you can configure a total of six local mesh profiles
on each node.
Each local mesh profile (on a master or alternate master) can be used to establish up to
nine links with other nodes.
The same security settings must be used on all nodes in the same mesh.
Any node that reaches the service controller through the local mesh and uses local mesh
itself, must be provisioned prior to discovery.
Daisy-chaining of nodes using local mesh links dramatically reduces throughput (which
is typically divided by two for each hop) especially when one or more of the following are
true:
Nodes provide both upstream and downstream links on the same radio.
Nodes share a radio with AP functionality.
IP traffic originating from a node can be sent on the link on which the service
controller was discovered.
